The People's Supermarket

I don't watch too much TV in summer but today we were late and turned the TV on and there was this documentary on ABC 1 about The People's Supermarket and intriged by the story we kept watching, apparently it was last in a series of a chef who set up a supermarket for the people by the people in a sustainable way, using local produce, obselete stock what the big supermarkets don't want with the help from the people.

You can become a member of the supermarket for 25 pound and work a shift of 4 hours per month to receive a 10% discount on everything. The shop runs on volunteers and sources for local produce to keep it running. Watch the documentary on Iview.

Would this work in Perth do you think?
I wouldn't mind working a few hours per month in my local supermarket with good local produce if it gives me a discount as well!
