lunch break reading this and i'm like, $70m for a fridge? cool but maybe fix the prices first 😂

Blake Turner2026-07-08T22:44:00.000Z

would love to see the price of a block of cheese drop but nah they're just streamlining profits ffs

Ella Thompson2026-07-08T23:11:00.000Z

game changer my arse. it's a massive cold store. big whoop. what about the workers?

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T23:58:00.000Z

yeah nah fair point, but it might at least reduce some waste

Grace Patel2026-07-08T23:43:00.000Z

another 'investment' that'll mean jack shit for shoppers. foodstuffs can get stuffed

Sage Lawson2026-07-09T00:04:00.000Z

finally some proper cold storage. should cut down on wasted food i reckon. better than nothing

lol cope mate. invest in a distribution centre that'll be obsolete in 10 years

Chloe Martin2026-07-09T00:11:00.000Z

project igloo lol these corporate names are so try-hard. anyway, prices still won't drop

Leo McKenzie2026-07-09T00:17:00.000Z

meanwhile my local new world has empty shelves half the time but sure, spend $70m on a fridge

Ben Sullivan2026-07-09T00:34:00.000Z

anyone know if this means more jobs or just robots running the place?

Leo McKenzie2026-07-09T01:26:00.000Z

probably some automation but maybe a few jobs. still be underpaid though

Blake Turner2026-07-09T00:48:00.000Z

bet there's a dozen execs jerkin each other off over this while we pay $8 for a bag of lettuce

Chloe Martin2026-07-09T01:23:00.000Z

facts. they spend money on anything except lowering prices

Eva Anderson2026-07-09T01:01:00.000Z

imagine naming your warehouse project igloo unironically. marketing degrees at work

Eva Anderson2026-07-09T01:36:00.000Z

ikr, who comes up with this stuff. bet they paid a consultancy millions for the name
