A mother in Brisbane filmed an Asian-American customer in a local Woolworths supermarket, loading an entire shopping cart with baby formula in the eyes of a number of salesmen, blatantly ignoring the two cans per person, Australian News reported.
On Jan. 21, Brisbane woman Clara Warry-Bush (Facebook) posted a post on the Woolworths supermarket's home page on Facebook claiming to have witnessed "at least six people" snapping up baby formula at Woolworths supermarket in (Sunnybank Hills), New Lima. A great deal of money was spent.
"it doesn't include the two cars we saw in the parking lot when we walked in," she wrote. I went to the service desk and found that they couldn't stop them because each of them bought two cans at a time. They went in and out as many times as they wanted. "
She exclaimed: "this is disgusting, your employees have the right to refuse service." They sat outside the desk and could see it at once. You haven't done anything to stop this violation. No wonder we have to buy formula so hard. "
"We will continue to work with our suppliers to increase the supply of these products and consider new ways to ensure inventory to families," the Woolworths customer service representative responded.
In the last two years, there have been many cases of milk powder rush in Australia, causing dissatisfaction among Australian parents, pointing directly at Chinese purchasing agents.
Benjamin (Ben Sun), director of Guotesco (Think China), a market consultancy, said the price of milk powder in China was much higher than in Australia, so there was plenty of room for profit. The limit of 2 cans per person is already "the limit we can do" because it cannot stop purchasing agents from shopping at retail stores or judging from a person's appearance and language.
