    Man hit with $1,100 seatbelt fine despite buckled-up passenger: 'Can’t believe people consider this an offence'

    In the pic it appears that the seat belt passes under the right arm (wrist) then straight up as if it is behind the shoulder. Certainly not beyond reasonable doubt, Tough Titties.

    This woman was furious over her $37 Coles bill, but her rant took an unexpected turn

    What were the weights of each item? Oil 5 litres? Would last 2-3 months. Prosciutto! Essential item?. I pay well over $700 per month to feed two pensioner adults.

    Man cops fines worth $800 over risky road act

    It was not Bunnings fault. It was the fault of the owner of the paint. If the paint had been cleaned using turps or similar before it had time to fully dry then the problem would be solved. Bunnings did offer materials to clean it. Although not stated if they would charge.

    Slash your grocery bills with this simple chicken supermarket secret

    Woolworths, Coles, ALDI, IGA do not have price agreements! NOT. No matter which of the major, and many minor, grocery chain stores have exactly the same prices (ALDI may drop 1c to appear cheaper but load on your credit card purchase) which will fluctuate at exactly the same time and exactly the...

    ‘Another thing I can’t afford’: Frustrated customer speaks up about KFC’s price hike

    Went to a Hungry Jacks & got a Spicy Chicken Burger (no cheese). The bun was little bigger, in all dimensions, that a 50c piece. Took two bite until I reached the chicken. Then they had forgotten the spicy. Don't recall the price but a big disappointment. PS I only go to takeaways once or twice...

    I have no idea how to lodge a query or a suggestion.

    I have no idea how to lodge a query or a suggestion. This site is as easy to navigate as most. Ever tried to lodge a complaint or comment with Woollies or Coles? Near impossible. Governments have stated they will investigate price gouging by Grocery Chains. What about Price gouging by land...

    Unfortunately incidents like this can & do happen. Australian Law even provides for it. Regrettable, and I am glad it did not happen to me. Take the container back & get Coles to follow it up.

    Pet policy gone wrong? One shopper calls out Bunnings for this major problem!

    Funny, nobody has ever complained about my Panthera Leo which I often take with me. True it has often eaten the odd sausage dog or even a stray child. Still I do feel it is unreasonable for people to take dogs into any shops, I have allergies & they affect me in a very serious manner. I accept...

    Coles shopper allegedly gets scolded by employee for scanning groceries ‘in the wrong order’!

    If, like me the heavy items have been placed in the BOTTOM of my basket or trolly. Am I expected to shuffle through the purchases to get to the bottom just to satisfy a snotty nosed assistant's fantasies? I will always scan lite things first, if they don't like it they can double the number of...
