Op shops are now "businesses" and have been for many years. I was a volunteer at one on the Sunshine Coast for ten years. At the start items were sold very cheaply and with happy staff until the hierarchy in Brisbane took over and things changed...our little store had to look like a retail shop...
Great memories as a young girl in the late 50's, living in the country and going to Brisbane to visit my grandparents. We'd catch the tram into the City or the Valley...my sisters and I were in awe with the hustle and bustle.
Well I must be a Snowflake then because I certainly am over emotional, easily offended and unable to deal with opposing opinions ...treating DV as a joke.

Love coffee but had to switch to decaffeinated 18 months ago for medical reasons. There are some good decaffeinated beans out there as wells as loose leaf teas. Hard at first, but yeah, love that smell.
I highly respect and absolutely rely on BOM for all weather conditions and find it very accurate especially for Summer thunderstorms. Think they did a brilliant job in forecasting a very tricky cyclone.
