Court bans Woolworths protests

[biometrics]

I'm so bored with Woolies food. Been buying from them exclusively for 15 years. Bland, boring, small portions and overpriced.

Nobody will miss you in-store.

I was looking for some Matzos the other day at Woolies, do they still stock it?

Huh?

Anyway, think I'll boycott them for being bland, boring, overpriced and small portioned. Cheaper and tastier just to get take aways from fast food joints or good restaurants.

You are free to complain here... but not inside the store! By court order!

there is of course nothing wrong with them promoting economic sanctions against Woolworths

lol

There is of course also nothing wrong with me driving a car with my feet, it's just that there are so many other prudent things to do.

WOOLWORTHS STATEMENT

BDS Protests: Safety Update

25 November 2014

Woolworths welcomes the court decision to protect our customers and employees from unlawful in-store protests. The court decision also enforces our right to trade free of threats and intimidation as we approach the peak holiday season.

Paula Disberry, Group Director: Retail Operations at Woolworths said, “Our staff and customers have felt scared in the face of escalating violence and this ruling offers them some relief. Woolworths respects the constitutional rights of protestors to express their views lawfully without infringing the right of others. We trust that BDS will respect the decision of the court.”

[Highlight]The BDS and Woolworths have agreed, out of court, to meet on or by 10 December. This is not part of the court order compelling the BDS not to protest unlawfully in our stores, but rather the urgency of our application.[/Highlight]

13 November 2014 Statement | BDS PROTESTS: CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE SAFETY

While we respect the right to protest peacefully and lawfully, the safety of our employees and customers comes first.
For this reason, Woolworths has filed a court application to protect our employees and customers from the increasing unlawful protests inside our stores.

Paula Disberry, Group Director: Retail Operations at Woolworths said, “The unlawful protest actions inside our stores have had a profound effect on many of our employees and customers. We respect the right of BDS to protest, but we are seeking to prevent protests inside our stores. ”Unfortunately their campaign has extended beyond raising awareness and includes actions such as intimidation of customers and employees, restricting access and preventing customers from shopping. Products have also been damaged. The recent statements by BDS to ramp up their protest action has given us no choice but to take legal steps. It is our responsibility to ensure that our customers and employees feel safe in our stores, free of disruption, abuse and intimidation.”

You don't use your feet when you drive? Oh, you probably have one of those vehicles specially modified for paraplegics, which likely implies that you are a paraplegic. Well, I'm happy for you that you are at least able to still get around. Lot's of people in your position would not be able to afford such a vehicle.

it's just that there are so many other prudent things to do.

I'm sorry, now you've lost me.

if they could just put out their reasoning for targeting woolies I can understand this focus on one shop.

Attention seeking.

Shoprite and Pick&Pay would not even have bothered with them.

 

[akescpt]

they should meet them and wait for them to sit down then tell them to fsuck off. get up and leave.

I can recommend a good cooking course. Or spices. Maybe even a cook. Even a little salt makes a huge diffrence.
