It fucked me over as a paying customer, which is my main concern. Lol.

I worked for Big W a while ago and from personal experience employee theft can be a problem. I remember they had a copy of Mafia 2 for PC in storage out the back. Perfectly good stock that just wasn’t available for sale. So I took the CD and the manual with the CD key and added it to my Steam account.

Companies should have to compensate you at a 1:100 ratio for even the slightest inconvenience. Did they waste your time by not having the item in stock? You’re legally allowed to take 100x the value of the time from the store

I feel bad for workers, never the company and shareholders. Big W (and Woolies) have reduced staff and jacked up prices on plenty of items, whilst shafting suppliers. Capitalism comes with side effects.
