I will ask the person who works there, when I get the chance.

Upton (see below) started Bread Solutions -  breadsolutions offers the foodservice and retail industries truly delicious, freshly baked bread. Using groundbreaking frozen technology breadsolutions provides the most innovative 'ready to bake' bread products in Australia

Upton was a manager at national franchise Bakers Delight. While there, he saw an opportunity in the realm of premade frozen dough, which could be freshly baked on premises with very little local preparation. This could enable bakeries to operate without fully qualified bakers – which, with the skills shortage, were proving hard to find.

Maybe that's where I got the connection from. Doesn't state BD use the frozen dough.

coles is the only shop where i can buy bread rolls (rustic rolls i think they are called) that are neither marshmalo-like or just plain dry, like breadcrumbs put together in a lump...tasteless, dry and nothing i want to eat again.

i didn't know that bakers delight is a franchise.

franchises are plain evil and should be illegal.

If you are an employee the deal is that you get your wage, obey orders but after you finished work all the worries about the shop are someone elses worries. (no risk, but have to obey orders)

if you have your own shop, there is heaps of after hour work, lots of worries but at least you aren't bossed around by some person.

now franchise is the combination of the bad things above without the benefits.

you have all the financial risk, all the worries of a shop owner AND have to obey the orders from above how to run your shop. (financial risk is with you while you are treated like an employee).

nasty nasty stuff.

i don't particularly like coles because together with w they form sorta an oligopol and i don't like that.

i try to only buy things there i can't get anywhere else.

BUT as long as  there is no bleeping bakery around that is able to produce something that is not styrofoam-like i will go to coles.
