Coles Fined for Fake Discounts

Coles got caught faking discounts by hiking prices on everyday items then slapping on “Down Down” stickers to trick shoppers—leading to a court ruling that they misled customers during a time of rising costs. The judge found their internal discount rules were bent to win a price war, making deals seem less legit. Now the ACCC is pushing for steep penalties to deter others, while a class-action lawsuit looms. The full punishment is still pending, but one thing’s clear: misleading customers with fake deals won’t be tolerated. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
