But our accountant said half a discount is better!

Nick sent in a picture of this morning’s rather unusual discount at the Caltex Woolworths pertol station in Weston Creek:
Count to four...one...four [1]

Maybe they forgot to change one side of a sign…
Count to four...one...four [2]
Nope, looks like we can rule out that theory.

So, if the normal price is 165.9 cents per litre and a four cents per litre discount brings the price down to 163.9 cents per litre, that probably makes for one very happy accountant. It would certainly help with that profit outlook Caltex were so worried about [3] yesterday.

I wonder if the “half of the discount is to be paid for by the purchaser” clause is in those “in-store terms and conditions” that the big green sign mentions?
