    Your 3G phone might still work! How delay in shutdown affects you

    About time this country kept up with the rest of the world. Now the mobile phone companies have set another deadline with this they should keep to it and not change it again.

    Barefoot Investigator warns: $13 food bill turns into $1,300 due to checkout mistake

    What a ridiculous story. I tap my card with every transaction I make and never been overcharged. All transactions go straight on my phone notifications so I can check them there. I don't normally get receipts. (Woolies go straight on the app) Also goes on bank account (straight away, not a...

    Latest speeding camera updates to target more road violations

    " With the latest update, cameras can detect a car's registration status as they zoom by." So they've just upgraded them to ANPR cameras? A bit behind the times. Most places have had those for ages. And the one in a police car is always live.

    Pack your patience: Mum’s simple self-serve solution sparks checkout chatter

    Must have been a 'one off' error. I've found that automatic weighing quite good. It knows what I'm buying before I've even had a chance to look it up. :)

    Woolworths introduces new checkout counters to cater shoppers' preferences

    Other than the silly reasons about not using self serve like all the other sheep quote, :rolleyes: it's a choice for people that want to be quicker and do it themselves. I try to use them as much as possible.

    Woolworths introduces new checkout counters to cater shoppers' preferences

    I'm not bothered if they offer less manned checkouts. I avoid them if I can. I go to Aldi as well anyway, especially now they've got a lot of space on their self checkouts.

    Pack your patience: Mum’s simple self-serve solution sparks checkout chatter

    So you have to pay by card. Big deal.:rolleyes: Even if its only a few dollars what difference does it make? It's still coming out of your bank account whether its cash or card. I paid for something that only cost $3 this morning by card. Never even gave it another thought.

    Pack your patience: Mum’s simple self-serve solution sparks checkout chatter

    Firstly, those Aldi self serve checkouts are the best out of the supermarkets now. I done a small trolley with 30 items yesterday. :) After I've put all my shopping in that space, and paid for it, I put it back in the trolley, then put it in boxes I've got in my car boot. And do the same at the...

    Australian Department of Foreign Affairs advises Aussies in this country to leave immediately

    Who would go to a terrorist country that is trying to take part in a war that's got nothing to do with them? 🤬 And their food is revolting as well. Another country wasting money on weapons and not their people. 🙄 God bless🇮🇱🙂

    Woolworths introduces new checkout counters to cater shoppers' preferences

    I don't really like those self serve conveyors. You put your stuff on to scan then have to run after it the other end to pack it.😁 At the moment I prefer Aldi's self serve. They've got a lot of room to put everything after scanning. I done 30 items yesterday👍 And I can see myself on the little...

    Woolworths introduces new checkout counters to cater shoppers' preferences

    A discount? 😂😂 Another phrase from the self serve haters handbook. You've had to take all the goods off the shelves yourself, put them in the trolley yourself, put them on the conveyor yourself. Luckily they pack your bags in Australia. Don't go to the UK. It's unheard of there. And what...
