@9news: It traded through depressions and recessions, but 188-year-old shopping icon David Jones couldn't compete with the online shopping revolution, as administrators were called in today. #9News #DavidJones #OnlineShopping #Australia #Westfield
the issue is they havent improved anything since the late 90s and their service has gotten progressively worse

My Truth :
Until Westfields lowers rent and quits profit and investor protecting noting will change the underlying costs kills companies, wages too. Hell bet power eats profits, probably taxes too.

Still in denial. Its not about online shopping but the lack of customer service and shopping experience!

and yet rba says we spending too much.... shops going broke. busineses shutting. restaraunts look empty most nights.... its going to get worse with government overspending, rba compensating by pushing rates up so normal people have less money to spend. we pay bills, rent food and petrol and thats it. we online shop because its what we can afford

I’m Australian citizen born and raised in Nigeria and have been living here since 2005. I only buy Australian brands and shop in stores 90% of the time. Meanwhile the people who claim to be Australians buy on Amazon, shein and spend their money on none Australian brands
