    Shoppers are threatening to 'boycott' Woolies over new technology at checkouts

    Are the checkouts with such cameras identified with signs? I was under the impression that any cctv had to be specifically identified by signage? In my experience the self service check outs get so many false alarms that the whole process is slowed down. The scales are very sensitive so that a...

    Aussie diners speak up about an ‘insidious’ dining trend – ‘It has no place here in Australia!’

    Now cruise lines are asking passengers to pay “crew appreciation contributions” before you even get on the ship! Why should you tip before knowing the quality of service.

    Every person in this Australian state is eligible for a $125 dining cash back program!

    Dork barrelling with a desperate socialist government going into an election. What about other industries that actually produce something. Eating out is a discretionary spend. It isn’t necessary. The farmer doesn’t notoce a difference if you eat out or at home. The money should go to farmers or...

    Popular restaurant under fire for secretly charging 'hidden' fees: 'What a joke'

    Being underhanded creates more bad will than if the menu showed the actual pricing. I will walk out of a restaurant if I see it on a menu. If they are this underhanded what are doing with the food and drinks? Substituting meat for cheaper cuts is easy and most can’t pick it. Prawns from Vietnam...

    Does your GP really know about cholesterol?

    Does your GP really know about cholesterol? This excerpt is from Dr Ben Kim’s newsletter. In my experience GPs know little about nutrition and are too soon to put you on a pill. Your health is your responsibility so it is up to you to ask the right questions. All pharmaceuticals have side...

    Paying out of pocket for GP consultations - worth the cost or fattening doctors’ wallets?

    I get a copy of the results that includes interpretation by a specialist. I don’t need a GP to read what I can read. It’s the AMA doctrine of over servicing and restrictive trade practices. I don’t need the GP who invariably gets it wrong and just wants to dispense patent medicines. I can do...

    Aussies are turning to crime to cope with the rising cost of living! Study finds almost 4 million people steal from supermarkets and servos

    Perhaps some see it as a way of fighting back? Fighting what you ask? The false advertising on packaging.. The false labelling of products as “healthy” when they contain sugar and carbohydrates. The food you buy but when you get it home is rotten. The charges for a bag. The practice of price...

    Big W customer calls out 'greedy' shoppers who take advantage of sales - but are they really to blame?

    If you have a business buying and selling the Big W is just one supplier. We don’t live in a communist world. If someone buys and sells to feed their family I support their ingenuity and hard work. Big business does this constantly taking with different suppliers to get the best deal. They use...

    Paying out of pocket for GP consultations - worth the cost or fattening doctors’ wallets?

    Why should I pay a GP to get a prescription for a medicine I have to take for the rest of my life? The pharmacists know more about medicines. Why do I need a recurring visit to a GP for a referral to a specialist who I need to see annually? Why should I see a GP about a condition I have...

    Unhappy Meal: Customers complain Macca's food has gotten smaller

    We should all care because the burden on the healthcare system of cardiac, kidney and liver disease is immense. The pharmaceutical bill for high blood pressure medications, Metformin, and mental health is enormous. The taxes could better be spent on education and housing.

    Unhappy Meal: Customers complain Macca's food has gotten smaller

    Food companies are not evil They would sell fresh fruit and vegetables if customers would buy them. All they want is profit. Unfortunately the great unwashed want their sugar that they are addicted to! They get an endorphin rush and then sleep because of the insulin spike. Slow suicide really...
