In the U.S. we've heard a lot about the way grocery chains and their suppliers have used #inflation to justify price increases that are disproprortionate to increases in costs.
This scheme in #Australia, between the two dominant grocery chains, is next-level corrupt. Suppliers are extorted when they try to pass on a price increase, and consumers pay for the supplier's increased price plus the extortion fee.

@ChippySuave 🤣 No argument here.
I just want to plug my fave local businesses & get recommendations for painters, plumbers, etc. I joined early enough to be designated a moderator, which brings my attention to the wackiest of the wacky. I need to learn to be more zen about it I guess...
