Colesworth exit gates (aussie.zone)

So what are the (f)actual legalities around the Colesworth exit gates not opening for you. Most importantly, if you decide to push through the when they don't open? I'm not talking about if someone has actually stolen something, I mean if they just don't open and you decide f..k you Colesworth and you push through them.

@prettygorgeous I avoid Coles now because of these fucking things. I have yet to see a Woolies with one though?

Honestly, ALDI as much as possible, or farmers markets where they exist

I haven't seen them at my local Woolies (the Coles has just had them installed), but my Woolies has these trolleys that lock up the wheels if they think you've pinched something. I've never seen it before but I saw it the other day; this lady leaving the store had the wheels stop working as she went to leave and she thought the wheel was stuck or something so she was confused and gently jiggling the trolley to try to get it to go, then this loud alarm went off. It was very weird and felt a little dystopian tbh.

@PeelerSheila jeezus! That sounds horrifying.

Glad I generally use a pram if I go to woolies but this totally puts me off going there too.

Yeah I buy most of what we need from Aldi or the fruit and veg store. I only go to Colesworth for the things I can't get elsewhere
