The is a scene inside a Coles Store. This is Coles Customer Service and clearly a product of Coles Staff Training [and selection]. = "Thanks for shopping at Coles."
We, at Australian Law Publishers, cannot believe that this could have happened. This is gross outrage on a national scale. We are sure that Coles Group Ltd [Coles]and Wesfarmers Limited [Wesfarmers] management realise this.
It is as though the $20 billion national Coles chain has given the corporate finger to the collective Australian population.
This photo will epitomise the Wesfarmers takeover of Coles.
The FACE of Coles. [We are prepared to negotiate for licence agreements for its use.] We have been composing numerous possible captions for this photo. We decided to share the joy with others. We are offering no prizes, but if you wish to email us your best choice of caption [to the email address: captions (at) haigreport.com/ but please do not do so unless you pass full Intellectual Property Rights to us for free, without charge or fee, (your sending them to us will signify such agreement)] , we will publish them [the more notable ones, subject to good taste of course], and their author's (your) name, [provided we do not have too many] and then see if we can devise a way for people to cast their votes on the many captions. We have copyright on this photo, and if contacted we can negotiate to see if we can arrange "licence fees" for the use of this photo. We want this "Coles photo" well publicised.
Of course, we have a serious purpose in life and that is addressed in a number of our published print journals. We will be including this "money" shot in a host of our publications this month. Hence, we will need to produce "Captions" for the photo. The photo is so "busy" that the possible captions have flooded us.
There have bean a number of serious issues, that people have had with Coles over the past three years or so. Some are mentioned in our journals. Coles Head Office knows about them, but has tried to "actively ignore" them. Well, now that Wesfarmers is doing "due diligence" on Coles, it may like to encourage Coles to deal with the issues, now, before Wesfarmers "acquires" Coles et al, so Wesfarmers will not have to "take heed" of them into the future. Succinctly, Coles are vacariously liable for their staff, while they were staff and engaging in criminal activity in the course of their work for Coles. It is not satisfactory for Coles to merely terminate [or permit the staff member to tender their own resignation], and cover up their staff's criminal activity. [Ask Coles about Linda Maree Wease, the circumstances of her termination in 2005 and the subsequent subpoenas they have received.] Coles is mentioned in our Australian Criminal Law Journal published 26 March, 2007 Issue #200703 page 5.
Much depends upon how the Coles-Wesfarmers merger progresses, and what happens to the corporate structure. Since the shares of the present Coles shareholders will be purchased, Wesfarmers is unlikely to then shed the corporate structure. That structure retains the liability of the present Coles corporation.
What do you think of these Captions? [Layla may be able to construct an excuse from one of them.] It is a very "busy" photo; there is so much content in it. Layla was not even the purpose of the photo, although a few minutes prior, she had screamed an expletive. Observing the colour phase change in the photo, one can see that the fastest moving thing in the photo is Layla's hand.
