That means must hv Computer. Doesn't want to work on Android phone. Did hv an IPhone, lost it in Coles on 01 August 2023 - last 'pinged' in LIQUORLAND at 5.17pm and never seen again. Android phone says to download= yes = no idea where it goes - can't find where it downloaded to - certainly not...

Is an E-Book a recording of a book being read? How is an E-book used? Do you plug earphones into a phone or get a cd/tape? I hv not yet succumbed to this "new fangled thing". I love books. I can go back a page or two if I disremember an earlier, minor character reappearing. I can pick up a...

When scams like this arise, the poor person targetted has no idea what work should be involved, so cannot see that a scam is being perpetrated. These scams should be placed on front page news, along with a list of the basic steps required to properly and safely execute the job. The person being...

I agree w the farmer. So often I hv bought "rubbish" F&V frm Coles where cutting into the apple, pear, tomato results in awful floury contents, onions going brown inside, potatoes gone green in a week even though properly stored, and celery gone starchy. My Coles rarely provides F&V that is...

It means they are buying too much! Reduce in purchases to only what you can and will use each week. Part of the problem is COLES and WOW insisting in plastic packaging our produce, forcing us to buy more than we need and can use. Kitchens are tiny these days. There is no storage anymore...

Coles and WOW deserve to lose customers by the drove. Both repeatedly demonstrate that they DO NOT CARE about customers! Their unnecessary, unfair price gouging is unforgiveable, as well as their continued removal of our favourite items are losing them past loyalties. Coles played a major role...

We hv STOPPED shopping at Woollies bcz of this appalling change to their introducing digital price displays every item. These new price displays are extremely hard to read and lack necessary info needed. Often, the store’s overhead lighting reflect to obliterate the digital display. Digital...

These McDonald’s prices are not new. They hv been this price for ages already! I don’t see why that any fuss is being made now - unless they are about to raise prices again. It isn’t news at all.

Do you cook in microwave, lidded frypan or fire up the entire oven, please?

Shopping centre rental costs are too high for NQR (Not Quite Right), and The Reject Shop (TRS trading) struck majors cash flow problems in Victoria’s lockdown imprisonment years. Melbourne’s CBD lost hundreds of shops including the extremely popular and reliable Reject Shop in Bourke St Mall...

A ghastly idea! Will contestants hv been injected, filled, lifted, liposuctioned, physically rearranged and ‘enhanced’?This is a new low to despoil our screens.

Excellent results for another woman using her survival talents. BUT!! The advice says to ask for help frm friends family etc - it does not tell you where or how to find help when you hv NO family, no ‘handy’ male friends or neighbours (IT consultants & hospitality males do not know how to use...

It’s a manufacture issue. Kmart will refund or exchange if receipt presented. Kmart will take up the issue w their supplier who may not be the manufacturer. That supplier complains to their product source back through the chain. I keep all receipts until items hv been used, in case of problems...

For those who like Self-Serve (the SS), I’m happy for them. However, I will only use the Staff Operated Checkout. Many disabled ppl depend and rely heavily on the SOC - I certainly do. I also need to talk with another human-being, especially after Melbourne’s soul-destroying long Lockdowns. Ppl...

Pity is that since Covid there are VERY FEW supermarkets bothering with ANY CUSTOMER SERVICE any more. Price gouging on food staples with false price increases to claw back “lost sales” during pandemic. It is all about profit now. They do NOT want you in stores. This is why they are trying to...

What really bugs me abt KMart is that its advertised goods are rarely available on line. or if ordered are Not In Stock. Kmart does NOT bother to hv ONE of each furniture item actually assembled so buyers can see, TOUCH and sit in the chairs, open a drawer, inspect the finish BEFORE BUYING and...
