Retailers like whs should have advance figures of this shift if they have their finger on pulse such as customer counts. Is counting foot traffic still a thing that retailers do

Nick been quiet on Zoom Health .... wonder how much they've leveraged whatever since giving them some new cash
Nick said Zoom was part of his plans in building a customer ecosystem that leverages its brand strength, store network and customer base and “.... believe that the investment in this promising digital health company will complement our existing offer and our expertise in online retail and distribution"
Grencross mentioning PillDrop reminded me of WHS and Zoom
Had to queue to use self check out at Warehouse Lyall Bay today
Never had to do that before
And not everybody was buying the cheap butter
Did they actually have the cheap butter? I sometimes had a look after shopping at PNS Porirua but I've only found the cheap butter once and never seen Weetbix there. Other grocery stuff I might have bought appears to be the same price as PNS. It hasn't tempted me to have a look at any thing else - it's a quick dash to where the butter should be and then a look around as to where the Weetbix might be. I've now given up looking.
I had exactly the same experience in Christchurch. A sign saying butter was in short supply due to high demand. The little fridge unit was pretty small (in supermarket terms) and there was no butter in there. Just some processed Chesdale cheese slices.
I did get some copying done at the Warehouse Stationery 'Store within a store' though, even if there was quite a long wait to top up my copying card.

Clark says we sort the buggers out …even if we have to unlock the store doors
And he’s got that Consumers Institute outfit and the media on his side pumping out all sorts of bad stuff about foodstuffs and countdown …they really are evil
Urgent warfare ..we can’t wait three years

Good stuff. Great that the Government are determined to help stop Kiwi consumers being plundered by the incumbent highway robbers.
Ideally we'll get a chain of Government owned and run Department stores out of this. That will put the wind up the private sector.
The ‘Excessive profits of $1m a day” narrative sure has legs now fuelled by the media and other parties
However that claim based on flawed logic but heck it makes a good story …politically
Never mind if grocery bill cheaper than I’m all for it …but I reckon at the end of the day consumers will be the loser.
Next step might be government saying Warehouse and Briscoes make excessive profits ….isn’t there return on capital more than 5%
