Woolworths NZ faces criminal charges over pricing, misleading specials
The Commerce Commission has filed criminal charges against Woolworths NZ for alleged inaccurate pricing and misleading specials that may have breached the Fair Trading Act.
The commission filed the charges against Woolworths in the Auckland District Court.
It indicated in December last year that it would be filing separate criminal charges against Woolworths and two Pak'nSave supermarkets.
At that time, the commission said there were ongoing issues with pricing in the supermarket sector and the operators may have breached the Fair Trading Act.
Requiring an app to get loyalty discounts seems criminal to me.
If it helps, the savings are minuscule. I don't use the loyalty schemes at all anymore. If there's a discount only for members, I actively avoid buying that product. I mostly get non-perishables at the supermarket and stock up when it's got a discount for normal people.
