Woolworths is trying very hard to become a fiasco and to try to complete the fiasco, Woolworths is now causing special persons cake disorder in its stores after a horrible result and horrible dividend. Regardless of all that, for one fiasco alone, Banducci should resign over the "Special Persons Cake" fiasco.

How crazy for WOW to get involved in the same sex marriage debate on Australia's "father's day"? If Coles doesn't get em, or AMZN or MTS, WOW's own lack of common sense will. Horrendous SP, horrendous dividend and now playing politics for Labour instead of selling groceries. Perhaps Australia needs Walmart or Sainsburys to put some sense into groceries.

SHOPPERS are outraged over a Woolworths mud cake that hit shelves on Father’s Day with icing that read “Special Person’s Day”.
The photograph of the cake was uploaded to the Woolworths Facebook page by a Queensland father on Sunday. It was quickly reshared by dozens of others who called the supermarket giant out on failing to recognise Aussie dads.
One man commented: “This is a disgrace and total disrespect to all fathers in Australia today ...
How dare you Woolworths?”
Another wrote: “Please keep Father’s Day to celebrate Dads, and don’t disappoint Australia with your political “special person” cakes.”
One woman said the cake was a “slap in the face to all the wonderful dads”.

“If you want to support a “Special Persons Day”, do it on any other day! So disappointed that you would make this divisive political statement,” she added.
However, others said they disagreed with the backlash against “Special Person’s Day”, saying not all Australians had fathers in their lives.

“There may be other people in their life that may have to take that role on. I truly celebrate that you have created a cake saying “Special person’s Day” because for every family that does not have a mother or father around and someone else to fill that massive role, they are 100% a very special person. Well done Woolies!” A woman wrote. Another congratulated Woolworths on “taking into consideration other people’s circumstances”.
“My son doesn’t have his father around a very sad day for him in fact but you turned it into a positive by providing a cake acknowledging a special person so he gave that to his uncle to say thank you for being a special part of his life, all round a happy day instead of a sad one,” the woman said.
A Woolworths spokesman responded to customers over Facebook, saying the contentious photograph had been cropped out not to show other cakes that contained “Happy Father’s Day” messages.

“We’re currently looking into this display with our store teams. We want to reassure you that we’re helping all customers across Australia celebrate Father’s Day as seen from our store displays, products and recipe ideas. Cropped out of this image are a range of decorative cakes that have different messages on them, including ‘Dad’ and ‘Happy Father’s Day’. Thanks again for sharing.”
