🔥 WOOLWORTHS: BAIT, SWITCH & PROFIT – A Corporate Cash Grab on Aussie Families 🔥
You shop smart. You see a half-price deal and add it to your Woolworths Direct to Boot order.
But when you check your receipt? BAM! The item was “out of stock,” and instead, you were silently charged full price for a replacement you never agreed to.
No notice. No consent.
Just a sneaky little profit boost for Woolworths at your expense.
This isn’t a one-time mistake—it’s a pattern.
A highly profitable, highly deceptive, and highly illegal tactic known as bait-and-switch advertising.
Oh, Woolworths, you’ve done it again—turning “Direct to Boot” into “Direct to Wallet.”
I order a half-price deal, you claim it’s mysteriously out of stock, and—poof!—I get charged full price for a replacement I never agreed to.
What a clever little trick.
This isn’t the first time, but let’s make it the last. For me and everyone else.
Because, to my mind, this is a textbook case of bait-and-switch advertising—highly profitable, highly subtle, and highly illegal.
So, Woolworths, consider this your official notice: If you can’t honor a discount, at least have the decency to tell customers before charging them extra.
Until then, maybe it’s time shoppers started “substituting” you for a competitor.
