What The F***

[Mr Beefy]

Will be interesting to see if the new owners keep the same model with their Head Office or they slash jobs from there.

I think the new owners also bought coles express and is going to rebrand them Australia wide to OTR

[whufc]

Where are the school kids working behind the coffee machines? Barely ever seen a school kid working in an OTR. I call bullshit.

If you're buying fuel between 7am and 11am there's two people working. Sooks.

The most convenient of enterprises in the SA market and you're all complaining how it's inconvenient. Talk about peak 2023.

Ill side with Jimmy here....

I mainly go at 5am so its not a problem, occasional minute wait whilst i wait for the one employee to finish of a coffee.

In saying that when i have gone in between 3:30pm-5pm. I've waited over 5 minutes to pay for just petrol whilst the one staff member makes a coffee, the other staff member makes a hot dog and the line grows. I dont get angry though, just take the 5 minutes to look at SAFooty on my phone or scroll the socials haha.

Yeah I just read that too.
That’s a big tick for OTR to show how good it is.

OTR branded stores are already getting built in WA and Qld, I think NSW is the only region not too have any. Yet.

Coffee, fuel, sounds like a convenient one stop shop.

I guess we can't have everything our own way.

Then someone would sulk about having to wait for a 6 pack while someone pays for fuel.

We could always go back 20 years where you had to go to 5 different places to get 5 things or we can go to a one stop shop and get everything we need in 5 minutes.
I love OTR’s.
You can get birthday cards last minute, chocolates for gifts, even gift cards for birthdays/Xmas when you forget like I always do.

If only they sold chops.

I tried, trust me!

OTR branded stores are already getting built in WA and Qld, I think NSW is the only region not too have any. Yet.

Stores in NSW, there are some stores across Australia that aren’t branded as OTR however are owned by Peregrine. Also numerous major sites along some of Australia’s busiest highways interstate that are leased out by Peregrine. Their spread is much bigger than the general public would know. Having a close professional affiliation over a 4-5 year period I have a completely different view than many in SA. Good people and are very good at what they do. My guess is that there would be at least 2 major businesses/organisations that would be seriously shitting bricks over this news given the financial backing this generates….

In WA Yanchep, Maddinton, Pier St, Forrestfield are all standard OTR stores.

They're a good earner.

Leave me outa it

I go there for coffee but not petrol because they have been trying to monopolise petrol retailing
I've caught them many times changing their price during the day. Photographed it and reported them.

**** them - Anti competitive and price gougers

An OTR is being built on the former main drag into Darwin in Stuart Park.

I understand they, OTR, have taken over the PUMA brand service stations up here too.

I go there for coffee but not petrol

... thereby adding a 5 minute wait to anyone going there for petrol, not coffee.

How long does it take the kid (sic) working the counter to go and milk the cow?
