WHSmith pricing 'should be illegal' after customer charged £4.19 for a Pepsi

WHSmith pricing "should be illegal", according to shocked customers. Welsh snooker legend Mark Williams recently posted a picture of a checkout screen in WHSmith, where it showed a 500ml bottle of Pepsi Max costing £4.19. Williams was at Heathrow Airport at the time. Airports across the country are slightly notorious for charging inflated prices. At the time of writing, a 500ml bottle of Pepsi Max from Tesco costs £1.59. Customers subsequently blasted the store. WHSmith pricing should be illegal in general, no clue how they get away with it — Sel (@SA1903_) June 4, 2025 One said: "WHSmith literally sold off their entire High Street business but kept travel hub shops for this very reason. It's like printing money and they don't care about the customers." Another commented: "Smiths are proper cosy cosy with all the airports, word is they mark up their prices by 50% and go halters with the airport the shops located in". Someone else replied: "I paid that in Liverpool airport a couple of weeks ago, couldn't believe my eyes". Another said: "WHSmith pricing should be illegal in general, no clue how they get away with it". Some, however, defended the pricing.

To which he responded: "Expensive in other WHSmith stores too hence why I said general". Airports tend to be expensive due to a combination of factors, including high operational costs, the captive audience they serve, and the unique challenges of operating within a confined space. These costs are then reflected in higher prices for food, beverages, retail goods, and services within the airport, as well as in airline ticket prices, which often include airport fees.

What to expect from Friday's jobs report

The government's May jobs report, slated for release at 8:30 a.m. ET Friday, could reveal the first signs of the impact on American workers of President Donald Trump's harsh on-again, off-again tariff policy. The consensus forecast is for the US economy to have added 130,000 jobs, slowing from a stronger-than-expected 177,000 gain in April, and for the unemployment rate to hold at 4.2% for the third consecutive month, according to FactSet estimates. 'The labor market is good, but it's not exceptional, and we're in the process of putting some real strain on the economy,' Claudia Sahm, New Century Advisors chief economist, told CNN in an interview. A case in point: Last June, after almost a full year on the job hunt, Jordan Williams landed a role at a high-growth, United Kingdom-based outdoor apparel brand that was looking to build out its US operations. Passenger Clothing was well positioned for expansion: The company landed orders with REI, Scheels and others; and Williams, a Portland, Oregon-based outdoor industry veteran, was excited for the ride. Until April. 'Upon 'Liberation Day,'' Williams said, nodding to the moniker Trump assigned to his blowout tariff announcement on April 2, 'I was liberated from employment.' Overnight, the US went from being Passenger's biggest potential growth driver to its biggest existential threat. For every $1 million of recycled fabrics, organic clothing and other products that landed in the US from countries such as India and China, Passenger was responsible for an additional $500,000 of duties, the company said in a mid-April statement announcing the pause of its US operations. Williams officially lost his job on April 11. Economists have warned that early layoffs like Williams' could be the first signs of labor market fallout from Trump's steep (and shifting) tariffs, which have ramped up uncertainty testing the nimbleness of businesses of all sizes. The Labor Department's weekly jobless claims report has shown higher numbers of first-time claims last month as well as people who have remained on unemployment for multiple weeks. Last week, first-time claims rose more than expected and totaled an estimated 247,000 filings, marking the highest weekly tally since October 2024, according to Department of Labor data released Thursday. Continuing claims, which are filed by people who have received unemployment insurance for at least a week or more, continue to bump up against a three-and-a-half-year high. 'This is a market where there are stops and starts, and there are pullbacks in hiring,' Nela Richardson, chief economist at payroll giant ADP, said Wednesday. 'With establishments, especially small establishments, when there's a lot of uncertainty — it doesn't mean that the demand isn't there but the timing may be off — firms would rather wait and see than hire aggressively.' The hiring rate, the number of hires as a percentage of total employment, ticked higher in April to 3.5%, but remains below pre-pandemic levels, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released earlier this week. And by ADP's count (which doesn't always correlate with the official jobs report) hiring dropped off precipitously in April and May, when the private sector gained 60,000 and 37,000 jobs, respectively. 'The weak numbers we're seeing now does not point to a labor market that's collapsing, but there is hiring hesitancy,' Richardson said Wednesday. 'It's like driving through fog for some of our firms here,' she added. Though the ripple effects from various Trump policies could take longer to show up in the data, the federal workforce reductions have already started appearing. The federal government posted job losses for three consecutive months, dropping 13,000 jobs in February, 4,000 in March and 9,000 in April, BLS data shows. More losses could be spread over many months to come: Not all federal workers were laid off immediately, and other actions are being challenged in court. Through May, announced job cuts are running significantly higher than in recent years; however, the lion's share of the cutbacks have come from the federal government. Department of Government Efficiency-related cost-cutting and its downstream effects have led to more than 294,000 announced job cuts, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas data released Thursday. Another 131,257 announced cuts have been attributed to 'market/economic conditions,' while 2,097 have been directly tied to tariffs. 'Tariffs, funding cuts, consumer spending, and overall economic pessimism are putting intense pressure on companies' workforces,' Andrew Challenger, senior vice president of the outplacement and coaching firm, said in a statement. 'Companies are spending less, slowing hiring, and sending layoff notices.' DOGE's actions and economic uncertainty have driven job cut announcements significantly higher than last year: Through the first five months of the year, employers have announced 696,309 job cuts, an 80% increase from the comparable year-ago period, according to the Challenger report. It's also the third-highest total for a January-through-May period (behind the pandemic in 2020 and the Great Recession fallout in 2009) since Challenger started tracking employers' layoff intentions in 1993. In May, employers announced 93,816 job cuts, a decrease of 12% from April. The recent surge in layoff announcements could indicate that the labor market may see a further softening in the months to come (given the timing of the actions, severance and other effects); however, as it stands now, layoffs aren't mounting. Also, jobless claims (a proxy for layoffs) and the rate of layoffs and discharges remain below pre-pandemic levels, Labor Department data shows. Still, the impacts from tariffs might very well by a slow burn, Sahm said. 'We are still early days,' she said.

How To Get Rich in 6 Months Starting With $0, According to Austin Williams

Even if you don't like where you are financially, you can change your situation around in just six months with proper planning. In a recent YouTube video, frugal living expert Austin Williams broke down what you need to do each month to get on the path to wealth in just half a year. Find Out: Read Next: Here's what he said to do. The first month revolves around awareness and assessment. 'Our goal is to understand our current financial situation,' Williams said. 'This first month is all about seeing where you are at financially — your income, your expenses and where your money is going — because you can't fix what you don't see.' The first task to complete this month is to write down all of your sources of income on a spreadsheet. The next is to track all of your spending. 'Write down every penny that you spend for 30 days,' Williams said. Note the category of each expense — such as housing or groceries — and whether it is a fixed expense that is the same every month or a variable expense. 'By the end of this month, you should have a clear picture with what's going on with your money,' Williams said. 'And once you can see it, then you can start to fix it.' Learn More: The second month in Williams' plan is all about budgeting. 'Our goal is to create a sustainable budget,' he said. 'Now that we've recorded our income and tracked our expenses, we can work on making some changes.' First, identify areas where you can cut back on your spending. Look at the categories you may be spending more on than you anticipated, and identify expenses that seem wasteful. 'Trim the fat and cut out waste,' Williams said. Once you've done this, you can build your ideal budget. 'In this step, we're going to give every dollar a purpose,' Williams said. Look at your total income and see how you can best distribute it between spending, short-term saving and long-term saving. 'The goal of this month isn't to be perfect and just suddenly have a flawless budget, but it's to start being more intentional with your money so you don't overspend and you have some money left over at the end of the month,' Williams said. 'By the end of this month, you should have created a budget that eliminates a lot of waste and allows you to spend less than you earn.' The third month is about structuring your financial system. 'Our goal is to make your money easier to manage through automation and organization,' Williams said. 'This third month is all about creating a simple, repeatable system that allows you to have order in your finances.' First, organize your banking system. This means having separate accounts for spending and saving, and can be as simple as just having two accounts — a checking and savings account. Next, automate as much as possible. 'You might want to set up automatic payments on bills like your rent, utilities or subscriptions so you never miss a payment,' Williams said. 'Also, you might want to automate your savings, allowing you to transfer money directly to your savings account on a specific day. … Doing all this just makes everything easier and a bit more efficient.' The third task for this month is to create a weekly money ritual. 'Once a week, take 10 or 15 minutes just to check in on your finances,' Williams said. 'This could be reviewing your bank balances, looking at your recent transactions [and] adjusting your budget if needed.' By this point in your financial journey, you should have established a budget that allows you to have money left over each month. 'This month is all about using that extra money intentionally in your life, and the best place to start is using it to pay off high-interest debt,' Williams said. The first thing to do this month is to list out all of your debts, including the amount owed, the minimum payment and the interest rate. Next, choose your payoff strategy. You can choose the snowball method, which involves paying off the smallest debt first while continuing to make the minimum payments on your other debts. 'The benefits of doing this is that it gives you quick wins and keeps you motivated,' Williams said. The other method is the avalanche method, where you pay off the debt with the highest interest rate first while making the minimum payments on the other debts. 'The benefit of this method is it saves you the most money,' Williams said. 'Pick whatever method best fits your personality.' Once you've selected your debt repayment method, start executing on your plan. Organize your debts by amount owed or interest rate, and start funneling money each month toward paying down the debt you have chosen to start with. 'You're not going to pay off all your debt in this month, but the goal is to simply create a plan that sets you on the path to becoming debt-free,' Williams said. Once you've set yourself up for financial success, it's time to start growing your wealth. 'At this point in our journey, we have created much more order in our finances and are living in a much more sustainable way,' Williams said. 'As you gain more stability in your financial life, you can focus on getting your money to work for you. … Your money is going to grow much quicker investing than it will by just sitting in a savings account.' The first thing to do this month is to learn the basics of investing. 'In order to get started with investing, there are three main things that you should know,' Williams said. 'The first thing is called compound interest, which means getting interest on the principal and interest on the interest in the market. Generally, investments don't grow in a linear way, but they grow in an exponential way. The more time you have invested, the larger the returns. 'The second thing that you should know when it comes to investing is something called index investing, which is an investment that tracks a market index like the S&P 500,' Williams continued. 'Unlike a stock that is a share of a single company, an index fund is a basket of stocks that tracks a market index. 'The third and final thing that you should know about investing are the different types of investment accounts,' he said. Investment accounts include 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, IRAs and brokerage accounts. Williams recommended researching the different accounts available to you and then opening one that makes sense for you. 'You can do this simply by going to one of the big brokerages like Fidelity, Vanguard and Charles Schwab,' Williams said. 'Once you do that, the third and final thing that I want you to do this month is make your first investment.' Because investing does always come with risks and the potential to lose money, Williams recommended starting with a small amount and investing more as you become more comfortable. By month six, you're probably not rich yet, but you're on your way to getting there. 'This final month is all about setting goals so your journey doesn't stop here,' Williams said. The first thing to do this month is to set clear, measurable goals. This can be things such as paying off $2,000 worth of credit card debt in three months or saving a six-month emergency fund in a year. 'Take some time to list your goals, the time length you're going to give yourself to complete your goal and what it means to have achieved that goal,' Williams said. The second thing to do this month is take action. 'Simply take action on your goals and don't let your dreams be dreams,' Williams said. 'And that is my six-month plan. And if you follow it to the end, I can almost guarantee that you will be in a much better financial situation than when you started.'
