Auckland New World employee accuses store of hiding Smeg knives from ‘non-regular’ customers

A New World employee is accusing their Auckland store of allegedly hiding products from the Smeg promotion behind checkouts and only giving knives out to regular customers.

The supermarket chain has been running a promotion for nearly three months nationwide that awards shoppers one sticker for every $20 they spend. After collecting a certain amount, shoppers can redeem the stickers for a selection of Smeg knives or a knife block.

But the franchisee of a New World has been accused of encouraging workers to take down the knives from the instore Smeg display, store them in drawers at checkouts, and only give them to regulars or people employees recognise as shopping at the store often.

…we are a tiny people with a very low imagination horizon.

Please mock us.

  1. Yep – it’s all a bit pathetic really. I’ll be watching out for his screaming when the shit really hits the fan.
    Hopefully, if there’s been an official complaint, it’ll be put in the queue.
    SMEG turned a bit shit anyway a few years back

  2. Seems pretty dubious. All the New World stores I’ve seen have countless fucking knives. Further, by the time you’ve collected enough of those stupid stamps to collect a shitty Made in PRC knife (but from German steel!), you are a fucking regular customer!

  4. Sing with me know “Everything is Awesome, Everything is awesome”. Amazeballs (little) Aotearoa – the little country that could.

    I’m disappointed there was no Jaws Shark Scare porn today – the ‘bronzies’ probably stayed away from our poo infested beaches with the couple of showers we had.

    Matt Lucas is going to present the news in blackface tonight and 60% of the sheeple won’t get the joke.

  6. Honestly, those knives are incredible. You could slice your fingers off and not even realise it.

    In the kitchen utensils world, I was lost but now I am found!

  7. We can rest assured the media in this country will continue to cover the pressing issues:

    Matty McLean, Susie Nordqvist to host new TVNZ current affairs show.

    A Current Affair will launch on TVNZ 2 on January 31 with an interview between McLean and bachelorette Lexie Brown ahead of the second season of The Bachelorette New Zealand, which kicks off the following day.
