Coles plans to deploy data company Palantir's tools across more than 840 supermarkets to cut costs and "redefine how we think about our workforce". At a time of increased food insecurity, Australians should question if this is the right direction, writes Luke Munn.
Yet another reason not to ship at coles. They are getting a beating in their ACCC hearing too. Independent grocers and Aldi should be the default for everyone. Unfortunately, most people shop at the duopoly to their long term detriment.
It’s good to see the abc actually calling out the implications and problems too. Not just for consumers, but for coles and for the countries interests. It makes it harder for coles to spin it as being for shareholders or for cost pressures etc.

It’s not really like you have much choice given there is a duopoly of supermarkets.
