    Time to vote with our wallets. I absolutely will refuse to shop at any store in my area that starts implementing this.

      Sure… If you even notice it. And if enough people will care and if there are still stores around that don’t do that, clearly superior profit maximising scheme.

      I’d rather want this stuff to become illegal. So calling your representatives, make news and go to the streets about this would I think help more that yet another boycott.

        That would be my concern is that we end up with an illusion of choice.

        I completely agree. Best case scenario I hope this becomes illegal, however if not then I still would never shop somewhere with this sort of scummy tactic.

      Or be like me where we have two Coles over the road from each other and a woolworths 5 minutes down the road and that’s about it beyond corner stores that are only there surviving off the sale of alcohol to itinerants who get refused service at big name bottlos
