I have never hired a cleaning company but my parents taught me to always leave something better than you received it . When renting , I always photographed a home when I moved in and , after cleaning it myself , before moving out , I photographed it again . I have always got compliments for the...

I have already stopped buying KFC and from other cashless businesses . I only use checkouts in Coles and Woolies , and I call out for checkouts to be opened if lines get too long . Just remember , if you go along with Cashless , no tips ,pocket money for your kids ,donations to buskers , etc ...

It is not just using only the cards in the store . With all the ATM's disappearing , the supermarket also was the main place where they could get cashout when they paid for their groceries . Like it or not , a lot of people still want to use cash .

I don't know how to stop the burglaries , although a 9mm tablet may have an effect , but why are fuel companies not introducing 'pay before you fill up' in Australia ? It worked well from what I could see in the USA in 2006 , when we were there . I thought it was a great idea

Rather than the sales of goods , what I think is that shareholders influence what any business does in this day and age . Mums and dads control a small amount , but big business and hedge funds influence the majority of decisions

If they had more staff on the floor , people would be less inclined to shoplift . Not just uniformed staff , but mystery shoppers as well . This would also protect staff from assault as there is protection in numbers . I know I get frustrated as hell trying to find things at times , so I just...

My God , if that is the worst thing that happened to you . and the language!!!!!!!!!

Well , It has been coming for a long time . Beer was always known as the working man's drink . I actually gave up drinking probably about 5 years ago . Very occassionally , I will buy a sixpack of Great Northern Zero . I find it has the taste of real beer , is refreshing and at 76 , having had...

I am lucky to have a full time job and I believe that everyone who wants a job should be able to get one . I drive a bus , so no self/drive , so I want to create jobs for other people also . I use the checkout 95% of the time unless I am buying 1/2 items . It's a cliche , but I do not work for...

I am getting fed up with all retail giants doing away with checkout operators and going to self checkout . I am not an employee . We do not even get an extra discount for doing the stores work , and to rub salt into the wound , they demand to check our bags . I know that is a requirement in most...

It was a JOKE!!!!! At least it got you to notice the LEGAL sign saying 'no eating or drinking on this bus' which is totally ignored on the bus I drive in Brisbane , as is the requirement to pay a fare !!!!!!!!!

Here is a suggestion . What is more important ? A big , flashy wedding , a holiday or a home . My wife and I had a $2500 wedding , stopped going out all the time for coffee , etc , and in 2 years , had a deposit for a house . when we moved in , we began building a fence , levelling the yard and...
