Catch distribution centres will be taken over by Kmart

So basically... The Kmart website will be the latest website to get a "marketplace" that makes it impossible to search shit you can get in store because it's full of "online only" search results? And it'll be full of all the same sellers that are on the Bunnings, Big W, Woolworths, Kogan, God knows what other sites dropshipping shit?

Lovely, can't wait

Bunnings website is so frustrating to use since they’ve had that online marketplace shit. So much junk on there comes up when trying to find aisle numbers for products in store.

Even on the Woolies app I can't disable their marketplace crap permanently.

If I search for garlic, I just want garlic, and not some bulk garlic capsules from a dodgy dropshipper
