    Major supermarkets' packaging claims exposed—what you need to know

    For sure. This just another example of humans/govt's thinking house/country trashing can happen without a price being paid. I guess if no-one is interested in this 'industry' means the dollars are not there to be made if the job is done properly. Could be wrong, but it seems to me that's a...

    A Bizarre Scam

    Thanks. Here's me thinking that was a typo. Wouldn't have fallen for it anyway. But some are not as savvy as you are and do fall for it which really unfortunate for the vulnerable ones amongst us.

    A Bizarre Scam

    Perhaps not as high-end entertaining as watching a good hanging (at that time), I think participating in a good veggie chuck at the bloke in the stocks would have been heaps more fun. Imagine the delight as your well aimed softish tomato hit its mark. Yes. Sky-high fist punch!

    Yep, nailed the whole issue right there. Cuts clean through all the crap. If it wasn't for this mob of grubs, then vulnerable people would not lose there hard earns. Scammed people aren't all mugs. Police take action against traditional thieves and house-breakers, but are seemingly helpless...

    Shopper slams Coles after accusing her while at self-serve checkout: ‘I was embarrassed’

    In respect of your personal experience, don't worry about it. Some of us, like yourself, hold the value of honesty to a higher standard than others. Perfectly reasonable to expect or demand an apology for being wrongfully accused by a poorly trained shop assistant. The 18 year old manager...

    If the demand wasn't there, there would be no supply. Lady is just selling stuff like any other business person. Fulfilling a need so to speak. Not that I would be shelling out shekels for one. I would look a bit wrong wearing a dress at Bunnings. You know, with the beard and all. Hairy legs...

    Yes, but why are you not shoving your thoughts down the throat of others. It's expected you would by some on here. You should know that! I mean it's just bloody disappointing! 😎 No need me thinks for any alert to you, although I might need the odd hint on occasions.

    Can't argue against elimination of certain aspects of modernisation being the highest level of risk management, but yeahnah, the lure of time savings is too strong for this black duck. (Right choice of descriptor there, last thing anyone needs is a 'black swan', event.) So, for me, it's to...

    Sometimes when poking or prodding during seemingly circular discussions, I end up with a greater level of enlightenment than I had before. Almost sounds selfish, but curiosity and knowledge thirst usually overwhelms that.
