    Kmart's controversial solution to checkout woes: A first look at the Melbourne store trial

    I really hated the checkout in the middle of the store (in the past tense as I stopped shopping there for that reason). So many times I have paid for an item and in my way out I see something else that I like, but stopped buying it/them as there was no way I would queue up again at the cashiers...

    Over $800k stolen in online investment scams—don't be the next victim!

    You are a bit harsh in what you are saying. Don't forget that this scams are also happening over the phone, and most people who fall victim is the elderly, who have no computer, don't even know how to use it, so they are an easy target. So they are not "dumb" as you said, they just simply don't...

    Is this aisle change at Woolworths misguided? One shopper sparks debate

    I do agree that if that's all you have that to worry about than you have a fantastic life, so don't complain. Saying that, my Woolworths has got a list in alphabetical order that shows you which aisle to find each item. There is one placed in the front of each aisle and one at the back of the...

    Avoid this online selling mistake: How Sarah's dream holiday turned into a $1000 nightmare

    That's not always a case. I was selling a new iPhone, we discussed the price, he was to come to pick the phone up from me. He did come, didn't come in, just stood in the doorway, wanted to see the phone before paying, so far all seems good, but then he grabbed it from my hand, ran out into a...

    Social media erupts as wealthy 88-year-old widow asks for pension support

    Why would she be greedy or selfish? She saved and now she is penalized for it. If she wouldn't have saved she would get the full pension. Not only the UK and NZ has the more fairer pension system, but a lot of other countries do too. You worked, paid your taxes, why would that effect your...

    Landlords refuse to raise the rent on their tenants: ‘I feel sick to do that to them’

    I haven't raised the rent for my tenant for the last 2 years. The way I look at it, that those $10, $20, or $30/week increase would not make me rich, but it could make the tenant poor. I have a retired lady renting from me, I am sure with being on the pension any rent increase would be hard on...

    Is this $310 rental even legal? Disturbing feature exposed!

    If I remember right, when we were building years ago, we were told that a toilet door can't open into the kitchen and there have to be two doors between the toilet and the kitchen. I don't think that would have changed. Just like the tenant can put a blind up on their window, I am sure they...

    Single mum cries out for help amidst budget changes: ‘What am I going to do?’

    I haven't heard a single word about going out to look for a job to support her daughter. They don't look like they are starving, so obviously the money they get from the government is enough. I know that I sound harsh, but all the workforce are working partly to support the ones who don't want...

    Single mum cries out for help amidst budget changes: ‘What am I going to do?’

    I completely agree with you. I feel for all genuine single parents also, but not the ones who keep having children, so they can get government help. My grandson's mother, gets all of these, works for cash in hand in a hotel, has her own business, again cash in hand, plus of course child support...

    What's something you've done in the past that you wouldn't want to do again?

    We love traveling and after my husband and I retired, we did a lot of it. Amongst other places we went to Thailand and of course we had to ride an elephant. There was a basket type of thing for the two of us, but after that, you could go solo, without the basket. I was watching how people...

    Outraged customers slam Kmart's new 'insulting' checkout system

    I have nothing to hide, so I have nothing against it at all. Unfortunately because of a few who do the wrong thing and steal instead of going to work, earn money and buy what they need, everybody else need to suffer. As I said it doesn't bother me, it is only a few more minutes of my time. If I...

    Centrelink wait times soar due to severe staff shortages. Here’s what the CEO has to say.

    I knew what they were receiving years ago, but as I am not working anymore, can't say how much they get now, as I said I was quoting what was said in the news. I have worked in Centrelink for 7 years and I know that most unemployed, especially long term unemployed were there because they wanted...

    Centrelink wait times soar due to severe staff shortages. Here’s what the CEO has to say.

    I don't really know what they get now, as I have retired a while ago, I am just actually repeating what one employer said on TV that he can't get employees, because their wages (waiting staff) is about $20.00 more than the unemployment benefit, so they just wouldn't want to work. They would...
