You really need to read the receipt that is pictured ... no one is asking about what charges you may or may not have received. We are talking about the blatant lie that this additional charge on this receipt is a bank surcharge when it states CLEARLY on the receipt it is a surcharge for weekend...

I think they may have confused 11,000 with 1,100 ... they didn't read the article properly!

Yes to anyone using common sense it is a big deal. 11 cases can quickly become 1,100 and then 11,000 with such a contagious disease.

Do you really have to ask that question? The symptoms show up from about 7 days after infection and so that person obviously has been diagnosed now and they are tracking where they have been so that people can be aware and alert. You obviously also lack the medical knowledge to know you are...

And it seems they are too selfish to care about the effects these diseases have on others too.

They actually don't. Their Blackstone snacks are made by Red Rock, their Belmont biscuits are Arnotts, one of their ranges of frozen pies are Herbert Adams and the list goes on.

Lies, lies and more unmitigated lies. It is well-known that ALDI stocks more Aussie products than the other two, and they treat the farmers better too. You have obviously never checked the origins of the food they sell ... yes some are from overseas (like the two majors), but more are Australian.

No it would not. Coles Simply is a home brand, whereas ALDI does not have home brand. Just because the brand name may not be familiar does not mean they are poorer-quality items.

This is NOT a bank charge ... have another look. It is a surcharge for weekends ... nothing to do with the method of payment. The credit surcharge was 30-odd cents. When they post articles like this they rely on people not bothering to look at the receipt themselves and just believing what they...

I totally agree ... this disinformation suits the agenda of their cash campaign. Plus you can tell from most of the replies to this article that people have just believed that it is a credit card surcharge and have not looked any further to see that it was a weekend staffing surcharge. This is...

Incorrect ... EVERY Australian household is receiving the $300 energy bonus - NOT just those on concession cards. There are many sources verifying this ... this excerpt is from CHOICE. "1. Every household in Australia is eligible for the rebate, but not every Australian. In other words, the...

I think you definitely missed the point

Lazy?? OMG you are the one who needs to get a darn life! Some people don't drive and have mobility disorders that make them pretty much housebound. So now the great and wise Lisa has the cheek to call us "lazy"!!! I think the queue for compassion and kindness is to your right. Plus if you had...

Huge assumptions there. It is no different to lay-by except you get the goods immediately. I needed a new mask for my CPAP machine and did not have the funds, but I could easily do it over four interest-free payments. If the company had had lay-by I would have utilised that, but they didn't so I...

There is NOTHING wrong with lay-by at all. Our parents did it, but then in those days stores actually offered the service and so many don't now. It is way more responsible to lay-by than to put the purchase on a interest-charging credit card.

It didn't start with COVID. Businesses have never had to accept cash as long as clear signage was displayed stating that. This has been the case for decades.

What an ignorant suggestion! So you are fine with food wastage as you know any frozen or refrigerated food CANNOT be returned to the freezer or fridge but MUST be thrown out? You are OK with our prices increasing to cover the cost of the food you are fine with wasting? You really have not...

Ummm the franchisee IS Australian, the staff they employ ARE Australian, their chickens ARE Australian-sourced and their suppliers ARE Australian ... do you really want to put people out of work and see businesses fail?

No they didn't. You have part of the facts but not all. Andrew Gee is behind a Private Member's Bill that would force individuals and businesses to accept cash payment or face heavy penalties, but it has not gone before Parliament and nor has it been passed yet.

Yes, it is legal tender BUT no business is under any obligation to accept it as long as they have clear signage in the store stating that they do not accept cash. That is the law, so they cannot be fined for it.
