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

    Personally I don't use self checkouts and am always happy for the checkout person to check any bags in my shopping, so can't see the difference between self checkouts and manned checkouts. Really, nothing to hide? what's the problem???

    Media executive warns of Meta decision’s ‘devastating impact’ on Aussies

    ' 'fakebook' content can't be trusted anyway so I'll just stick to watching the news on TV or reading the newspapers as I've always done. Personally I don't care what they do

    Police in hot pursuit after shocking daylight heist at Bunnings

    All these 'mongrels' are doing is forcing the prices of everything up for the rest of us. Stealing is never OK, how dare they take anything that is not theirs and been paid for?

    Kmart releases $25 activewear dupe of a $90 designer brand: ‘Super cute’

    Aaahh! No thank you, that length looks ridiculous it brings to mind an old saying my Mum used when I was a young girl, 'you'll have to have a party and invite your pants down' - I was very tall and very skinny hence most store bought pants were way too short. These are just ugly.

    Shopper’s ‘annoying’ experience at ALDI sparks debate: ‘That stuff is a joke’

    I feel her pain but it was her fault for putting items such as pasta salad and cheese from the dairy cabinet in the bottom of the bag which will, of course have condensation on them causing moisture against paper bags. Of course the bag will collapse as they're not really conducive with wet...

    Discover the internet’s priceless reaction to this woman’s Vegemite toast: 'I would follow her into battle'

    I love, love, love Vegemite and grew up having it in sandwiches, on bread and on my toast, still have it daily but only a smear across the toast or bread, everything in moderation

    Woolworths addresses shocking amount of cameras in one of its newest stores

    Of course they are security cameras, nothing to do with monitoring shoppers' buying choices, as I'm not a thief I don't have a problem with them at all, in fact by catching criminals in the act will benefit us all as prices have an amount factored in for theft, costing us all extra at the...

    Mum shares disappointing Woolworths experience: ‘I just want my items delivered’

    I have used both Woolworths and Coles for home delivery, it is a 50 km roundtrip for me to go to either of these supermarkets and at over 70 years of age I have found this to be very convenient, BUT Woolworths are absolutely terrible at supplying exactly what you ordered, Coles is an improvement...

    Mum shares disappointing Woolworths experience: ‘I just want my items delivered’

    No, you don't sign for it, when the driver delivers it, he photographs the bags on your doorstep, records it on his phone and goes.

    Mum overlooks detail in ALDI purchase: ‘I didn’t realise it’

    I too have noticed that flat sheets are no longer included in most'sets' when I've been searching online for new sheet sets, it is very, very frustrating as it requires another separate purchase to complete the bed set, just another ploy to get us to spend more money like the supermarkets...

    Leaked emails expose how supermarkets profit more while customers ‘get screwed’

    I most certainly buy less than I did 12 months ago, it's just getting out of hand with these supermarkets. Most certainly another supermarket would shake up the big two. We here in Victoria recently went through a huge power outage for days and found supermarkets were putting all meat, dairy...

    Veteran Woolworths employee reveals shocking cash rule

    I agree with Woolworths, they are not a bank, they have to pay staff to operate the registers so why should they act as a bank without customers making a purchase? Seems fair to me.

    Woolworths trials new self-serve checkouts

    I don't care what they've done with colour coding, I never have and never will use a self serve checkout. Woolworths don't pay me to process and pack my own shopping. If they offered discounts for doing it, it might be a different matter.

    Here's why this elderly woman left her million-dollar fortune to her pets and not her children

    Good for her! Just because people are related by blood doesn't give them the right to inherit. If family members choose to ignore parents in their latter years or due to illness, then they absolutely do not deserve to be mentioned in the Will. Parents are not a benevolent society, we...

    Find out which Hungry Jack's items a nutritionist warns you should never eat!

    I don't totally agree with Suzie in that whether it's Hungry Jack's, KFC or the Golden Arches, they are all a pretty bad choice but in a pinch if I had a choice it would be Hungry Jack's, it tastes like real food not the Golden Arches cardboard 'bread' rolls and no taste meals or oily KFC
