Some customers buying The Age yesterday were angered by the price, $2.50. Some refused and walked out, leaving their intended purchase at the counter. Personally, I think it is wrong to have a bumper edition this weekend – Christmas is still a week away. based on the reaction, I’d say that many customers agree. Fairfax has done itself no favours in terms of customer service with this move.
purely a cynical money grabbing exercise – you dont even get a decent A2 for your $2.50
