    Cafe sparks cashless controversy—but relief is coming for cash-loving seniors

    A fuss about nothing again🙄 If you went there and put your card in the card reader you don't get charged anything, but people would rather get angry when they see they charge a very low 1.2%🙄 If you spent about $50 and just tapped your card the surcharge is only 60c. The Government is supposed...

    TGA yet to investigate the safety of most medicinal cannabis products

    Personally, I wouldn't want anything to do with any sort of cannabis. I don't care how good it could be for you😕

    Aussies are loving this $200 McDonald’s drive-thru hack to avoid ATM fees

    I never pay any ATM fees as I don't use any cash 👍😁 (And I've only paid 2 surcharges this year for using my card👍I think it totalled about $1?🙂)

    Credit card perks under threat as regulators eye changes to payment rules

    Just hurry up and stop the surcharges, although not everywhere charges them. Will be easier to pay by card without having an extra bit on top of the price you pay😕 The UK stopped them 7 years ago without all this fuss.🙄

    When retail strategy meets social media gold: The Officeworks controversial starter kit that had Australia laughing

    Well done SDC👏👏 That was really really not funny!!🙄 And once you see it's something on tiktok you know it's going to be some nonsense.🙄 They seem to have a weird way of trying to link items on here. In this case an unfunny video merging into an article about product placement.🤔

    How to outsmart a burglar…from an ex-burglar’s perspective

    All that would be very interesting for the UK. Rightmove and Zoopla are 99.9% biased towards UK home listings with a small section for overseas properties. If you want to check Australian properties you need to look at Domain and Rightmove. And the part that says "Install letterbox cages to...

    Telco Exetel fined $694K for failing to comply with laws that protect customers from scammers

    I've been with Exetel 6 years. While this hasn't affected me. I'm more concerned about the slow speeds I'm getting😕 I'll be leaving them for that reason.

    Shock exits at the ABC as insiders reveal why respected hosts are leaving

    Shame about Sabra Lane on the AM programme. (Who's name I always thought was Sandra 🙄) Quite easy listening for 8am every morning.

    Massive Gmail breach exposes 2.5 billion accounts—check if yours is at risk

    Looks like you've got a 2.5 billion to 1 chance of something happening to your account which is highly unlikely. Time to check my dark web monitor again.

    Big internet shake-up promises lightning-fast speeds sooner than you think

    I'm on a newish estate that has only got Opticom. Got FTTP but it's not great through my ISP, although I've got about 10+ items attached to it. I keep meaning to complain to them about the speeds and possibly getting a new modem. Current one is 6 years old. This article has prompted me to do...

    ALDI trolley shake-up leaves shoppers frustrated...but why are others defending it?

    My local Aldi always has a lot of small trolleys. Much better than my nearest local Woolies. I've got to keep walking round the car park looking for one. 😕 But Aldi has done away with the sanitising wipes.

    Are you at risk? New road additions have already cost Aussie drivers $41,000 in fines this week

    As long as I keep my speed camera warning database up to date I'm not bothered. 🙂 Maurice Gatsonides has a lot to answer for. Just because he wanted to check his rally driving speeds everyone has to suffer now 🙄 And for people complaining. Don't drive in England. There's thousands of speed...

    No knock, no parcel: Aussie’s note to postie strikes a nerve

    As well as tracking it, I've got it all filmed on my CCTV, so I know what time they arrived, how long it took them to get out of their car, how long to walk up the drive and how they delivered it and drove away again. It was an AusPost courier as that's who this particular company uses for...

    Stop wasting time at Woolies! Discover the secret tip shoppers wish they knew sooner

    I can get to about 6 local Woolies (could be about 10 with a bit more travelling and 2 Coles) so it comes in very useful if I've forgotten the layout of the one I'm in.🙂 If I'm in a different store it starts off by telling me "It looks like you're in xxxxx. Would you like to change to this...
