Unfortunately my aged care home assistance provider refuses to accept cash - card only. I have to go there on Monday to pay my first a/c (hopefully with cash) but am expecting them to refuse to accept it. I find it totally unacceptable that legal tender i.e. cash, is not being accepted by...

"Additionally, the draft legislation hints at the introduction of both civil and criminal penalties for staff and directors of aged care facilities who fail to comply with the new standards." As a retired nurse who cared for aged patients (not in an aged care facility, as such), the risk of...

I would suggest that our Anzacs had nothing to do with WW being here. I can remember when they were just like a dollar store selling all sorts of stuff but not groceries. They did not move into the supermarket arena until well after WW2 - waaaay after the Anzacs stormed whatever beach it was...

I do have an Anzac Day biscuit tin but only because someone gave it to me a few years ago. For me, I have never seen them in any WW store & I have always shopped there. My guess would be that all those above who are complaining about the tins not being available have never bought them either...

Someone should have parked close behind him to teach him a lesson on how to park his monster. He can't go forward so effectively he not only blocked 3 spaces but 4 as he would need the 4th to get this monster out again. Leave him there for a couple of hours & maybe he would learn a lesson or 2...

I don't have a problem with the staff doing a price check as there are so many dishonest people around today that they need to be sure you are being honest. It's sad that this country has come to this state but that's the way it is.

I have never been laughed at for pointing out an error in checkout price to shelf price. However, I never tell the checkout operator about this error. Always, & I mean always, take the item along with the docket to the Customer Service desk where you will receive a full refund after they have...

Meat is the biggest issue for me. I have found that the meat was weighed on top of the foam container surrounded by cling film or in the closed plastic container. The weight of the container is included in the weight of the produce & you are being charge exorbitant price for a piece of foam or...

I was caught by special tags which hadn't been changed in my local IGA. When I got to the car & checked the price of the goods I had purchased (I purchased 4 because of the price), I went back into the store to report the error. I only saw the specials tag & did not read the dates (I couldn't...

If you correct the price at the checkout, they do put the item through at the corrected price. However, if you just keep that in your memory & go to the Customer Service desk you will get a full refund. I always get a printout of my docket & check the prices before leaving the store & many...

I have no knowledge about electronic banking & have no wish to learn about it. I do use a cashcard sometimes but I have no desire for the banks & govt to know how I spend my money. But speaking about going cashless & refusing to use a card, I have aged care support & the company I am tied to...

I used to love watching the tennis until the ladies all started squealing every time they hit a ball & recently I have noticed that the men have started the same animalistic behaviour. It would be nice to be able to watch the tennis again without all this appalling noise from the players.

While the olympics hold little interest for me I would definitely not watch any sporting event in them if drug abuse was allowed. We already know that the indiscriminate use of these drugs can cause irreparable harm to the body so why would the olympics sanction their use?

I have not been able to afford these seafood luxuries for a long time now. Would love to be able to afford to buy prawns as they are definitely my fave seafood.

I didn't see anything about some offers only available in a couple of states. This article is mainly about the reduced price of seafood nationally until 25 March. Be thankful that you can buy seafood cheaper than normal if that's your go for Easter.

Same for me. It was never a secret that as an aged pensioner I could send my letters for just 60c. I buy a packet of stamps for $3. There is a limit, however, to how many stamps you can buy in a 12 month period but I have never used my quota.

If you put in a Smart Meter you must be smart in how you use electricity. I have changed my routine since putting in one of these meters so that I cook when the price is in middle range not at high range when everyone else is cooking. I do my washing either between 10pm & 7am or at weekends...

Why on earth would you open a bank a/c in the Philippines then send money on several occasions to the bank a/c?? Surely on each of those occasions alarm bells were going off in your head? I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for people who are this stupid.

Councils need to provide more street bins so that those walking their dogs can safely dispose of their waste products. It is not easy to carry the full plastic bag(s) while at the same time maintaining control of your dog. I think that more people would pick up the waste if there was somewhere...
