    Woolworths shopper ‘disappointed’ after measuring pork buy!

    Problem is that a meat such as pork, beef and chickens can be/are injected with hormones or water to plump up the size. This of course evaporates when you cook the meat and it ends up considerably smaller than it started. I cannot understand why this is allowed.

    Man swindles more than $60,000 from unsuspecting tenants through a social media scam

    The false rental scam has (and still is) been going on for a long time. They are prolific. Just as the "employment" scam is prolific. Both are after your personal details and "deposits " and bank account details to "deposit your salary into" before you've even got the job. Social media needs...

    Coles, Woolworths, IGA and ALDI affirm stance on supermarket self-serve checkouts

    I do not believe the supermarkets for one minute! Self service machines constantly "need assistance" and I certainly don't agree with it "freeing up staff"! If that was the case, why can we never find staff to assist? Why do we have to run around the stores looking for a human being when we...

    Overseas supermarkets ditched self-checkouts—should Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI follow suit?

    Keep a few self-serve but bring back a full complement of cashiers not just the one ir two "token" cashiers they all offer. So frustrating trying to juggle 6 things at once at self-serve and constantly being told "assistance required" by the wretched system. Next, KMART need to bring their...

    You won’t believe what this shopper did at Woolworths’ self-checkout: ‘Now I’ve seen it all!’

    The free fruit is there for KIDS! Not adults without kids. If the fruit was there for the needy it would say so. Anybody who takes the food out of the mouth of babes is a selfish low-life. There is no excuse for that.

    Sudden price hike on bottled water leads to surprising discovery: ‘I'm being penalised if I recycle at home?’

    It's not just water, it's everything. The supermarkets are taking people for a complete ride. Cereal, meat, baked beans you name it, they've hiked it under the guise of transportation costs etc etc yet they've all managed to post unconscionable exorbitant profits. That makes them liars.

    Gone by year’s end? Coles shopper shares self-service checkout warning, retail giant responds

    Key issues are 1. Banks are, and will continue, increasing their fees to businesses for EFTPOS transactions, which in turn means those charges can, and will, continue to be passed on to the consumer. It's already happening in many cafes and restaurants. Check your receipts. You'll see it at the...

    Dont despair. I'm a 10 or 12 in most places, even 8 on occasion, yet I've never been able by anything in Kookai that fits me properly. All their clothes are undersized. No idea why their sizing is so rubbish. Stopped going in there a long time ago.

    ALDI product allegedly set someone’s paddock on fire

    I'd say Aldi could have done better in the customer service area but there are so many poor quality imports from Asia, particularly China, that you could buy those LED lights from anywhere and get the same dangerous result. Just like all the e-bikes and scooters which are exploding

    Increased internet bills set to hit millions of Aussies

    Inflation will continue to increase with all corporates continuing to increase costs and rents going up. You cannot bring it under control all the time you allow inexcusable and unreasonable price increases in the food we eat, the roof over our heads, our means of communication (which you...

    The latest move by Coles, Woolworths and Kmart sparked outrage from shoppers

    Not good enough! Their excuses have nothing to do with "convenience for shoppers" and everything to do with cutting costs. The whole population is sick to death of self-service service. Get back to learning the meaning of the word SERVICE and provide it! You are ripping us off as is.
