    Woolworths admits to underpaying staff by over $1 million—are you affected by this oversight?

    If there was a decent HR dept this could not happen. Don't tell me they were not aware of wage structures. If we still had unions this would not be going on in most of the retail industry.

    Why once again do the majority have to pay for the minority. Most of us can control how much we eat, if someone can't tell when they have eaten too much, they shouldn't be let out lose. Why do we always pay for the morbidly obese people, who mostly bring it on themselves. OK there are a very...

    Escalating crime waves: Tribunal shockingly denies ALDI's plea

    They should enter one of the south western suburbs of Wagga where the few shops still open are locked behind high security fences at closing time. Drive through some of the suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne after dark and see all the shutters. It's a sign of the times until someone sorts out the...

    Shocking checkout behaviour exposed by Coles shopper—is the younger generation to blame?

    You are all missing the bloody point. The old guy asked if he could go grab a bag himself, so the staff member said yes they are over there. End of story. If it was me at heading towards 80 asked the same question, I would expect to walk over myself and get my own bag. When we start expecting...

    ‘Absolutely disgusting’: Coles and Woolworths' checkout trend causes stir among shoppers

    I personally like the self service checkouts. The Coles store I use has a long unloading bench 2 trolley loads would fit on it. I swipe and reload the trolley in the order I want to pack the car.
