Some people in the original post had some questions about whether I had the right product.
Well I went back today and took some more photos to show it more clearly. Hopefully that clarifies that I was holding the right thing.
And they're still at it! This time with garlic from Argentina (still not Australia).
Spoke to staff there who said I'll hear back from head office. I'll let you know when/if I do.
Apologies, I was one of those calling you out in the original post.
The proper person in-store to escalate things like this to would be the ‘Produce Manager’ (or similar title), as the shelf stackers have no ability to control it and are likely being judged against unreachable KPIs, though the very least they should do would be to pull the signage.
From what I can see on the Woolies website, Australian grown garlic is currently unavailable and cheaper imported 3 Packs (as pictured) are being offered instead.
I’ll check my local tomorrow, and see if it’s across the board (strengthening the argument for an ACCC report) and/or if they’re also scanning up on the POS as Australian or not.
