    I used the QR code during Covid, as soon as they government said we no longer had to use it, I deleted it from my phone. I don't go to restaurants and if I did I certainly wouldn't give them a tip, it is a job that they get paid for, although in many places the staff are not trained properly and...

    Bunnings under fire for its controversial and 'tacky' Christmas decoration

    I think instead of complaining or making snide remarks about people needing sense of humor. Just do Christmas as you enjoy it, no one is going to like every single thing that comes out at Christmas time, if you want to put an Australian theme to your decorations go ahead, if you don't do what...
