    I'm afraid they're doing their job. Get over it. Letting people steal just costs us more in the long run.

    Woolworths' new self-checkout rule triggers customer uproar—here's why!

    I buy mushrooms all the time and no-one ever checks

    Woolworths' new self-checkout rule triggers customer uproar—here's why!

    I'd be giving her some smart retort such as,' honey if you fancy me you only have to ask, not hover.'

    Woolworths' new self-checkout rule triggers customer uproar—here's why!

    It could be the size of your handbag. I was once told by a checkout chick that she had to check my bag every time because of it's size. If it's bigger than a loaf of bread it's considered large and suspicious.

    Woolworths' new self-checkout rule triggers customer uproar—here's why!

    The fact is, people do rip off the system at self checkouts and they BRAG about it. I have to call for assistance every time because the weight of something small doesn't register. It annoys the hell out of me but I still prefer it to having to listen to small talk from an assistant and finding...

    NBN proposes new speed options to revolutionise internet experience

    Considering some people in this country have experienced nothing but trouble thanks to NBN contractor practices, I say - fix the system and THEN upgrade it.

    Australia Post driver's delivery fail costs him his job

    This is not as uncommon as they'd have us believe. I lived in a house with a steep driveway and most of them wouldn't even bother to walk to the front door - which my 80 year old mother could negotiate! One did walk to the font door, stood there for 30 seconds and then left. My mother was...

    Pensioner hit with $6,000 bill due to botched NBN installation

    It shouldn't require all this, but my son worked for an NBN contractor and he said the practices he saw were terrible.

    Shocking health update: The Beach Boys icon Brian Wilson battles dementia

    Mental illness is a mystery, no-one knows what causes it or how to cure it. Yet, the keto diet has done so successfully. You work it out. I hate drugs, always have. I believe hiding from your problems in drugs or alcohol achieves nothing, because they will still be there tomorrow. Yes, they can...

    Shocking health update: The Beach Boys icon Brian Wilson battles dementia

    That's mostly because almost every doctor will put almost every patient on statins. I refused them, my younger sister took them for a short time and now has Alzheimers. My mother took them and her mental decline was obvious so I took her off them gradually. Her faculties returned so well her...

    Pensioner hit with $6,000 bill due to botched NBN installation

    We have the right to decide where the box goes? I was told it could not go in a bedroom, only a living area. This made my life difficult as my mentally ill son would disconnect it constantly. Choice? I don't think so!

    Senior driver hit with mobile phone fine, reveals he never owned one

    It doesn't take 2 hands to steer a car even if it doesn't have power steering, which most do now. Indicate? Move one hand from the wheel. Ridiculous expectation, considering disabled people drive and don't necessarily have the strength to do what most people can. Considering a few years ago most...

    Senior driver hit with mobile phone fine, reveals he never owned one

    Australia still treats it's citizens like it's still a penal colony and we're all criminals. Innocent til proven guilty? I beg to differ.

    Senior driver hit with mobile phone fine, reveals he never owned one

    People seem to have ridiculous expectations these days. Even looking at street signs you have to take your eyes off the road.

    Senior driver hit with mobile phone fine, reveals he never owned one

    they're always right, no matter what the circumstances, and magistrates are half the problem because they choose who they believe - and guess who they believe 99% of the time.

    Shocking health update: The Beach Boys icon Brian Wilson battles dementia

    That's a mighty big assumption considering the sheer number of sufferers -most being people who never took drugs. Have you never heard of self-medicating? That is the cause of lot of drug and alcohol abuse - what came first the chicken or the egg? Problem is anti-psychotics don't work for a LOT...
