its the big buisinesses that try for big profits for shareholders that are the biggest rip offs in australia. A good example is coca cola. They have near no workers at their plants. Its all automated. We must have the most expensive coloured water in the world. And notice they have about doubled the price over the last 2 years at the checkouts! Why? Because they can.
Some freinds in the beverage industy at MAJOR hotels tell me coke costs them at the point of sale about 5 to 7cents for a glass including gas and equipment! AND THEY SELL IT FOR $3! (they rake in cash from fizzy drinks!) So what does cca make the bottle of 600ml for at the plant for! Must be at the most 7 cents! What do they sell it to Woolys for? maybe 50c? And Woolys sell them for $2.50! or the servo sells for $3.50!
Its all a joke.
