Customer service does NOT mean that the customer is the one who has to do all the work. I refuse to shop at Coles in Karingal, Frankston anymore because without warning they removed the Express checkouts, which were close to the entrance (great for if you needed to rush in to grab an item or...

Oh, I LOVE you! You have made my day, I love a well written rant that many agree with. Keep being a Cranky Codger and keep us informed with your next rant.

Supermarkets are actually making BILLIONS in profit. I refuse to use their self service machines. What I read about them only makes me more determined never to use them. I do most of my shop at ALDI, but unfortunately, they too have introduced self serve aisles. Seems everyone has forgotten...

That must mean that it will be on special next week for its normal price of $4.50. They have been using this trick for many years. My mum told me about it and I told my kids. Be observant any watch the pattern.

My mum used to line cake tins with the brown paper from these bags before plastic became the new thing. As this lady has children why doesn't she cut them so they are flat and have the kids use them for drawing, painting, finger painting or printing. Collect leaves to print or cut vegies to...

Centrelink in Victoria make you wait up to 6 weeks to get anything out of them. My son was living in his car and getting food from the Salvo's and still they made him wait........just to make sure he was desperate and needed financial help.

My thought exactly!

I would prefer if parcels were actually delivered rather than just taken to a post office of the drivers choice. I was waiting on a delivery on a particular day (text arrived saying it would be delivered that day. Imagine my surprise when it did not arrive; a text message arrived instead saying...

It's typical of the 'Me, Me, Me. It's ALL about ME, generation. Their attitude is, I want to, so I will. They don't appear to care about anyone but themselves.

They cannot refuse to take coin of the realm. This discriminates aged people who do not have credit cards and wish only to deal in cash.

After making a click an collect purchase from Kmart and making payment, I received an email from Kmart to say part of my purchase was coming from another store so would take longer to arrive. I was given the option of doing a part collection and then doing another collection, or I could wait...

Might I ask what the ect after the first ingredients is? If it is meant to be the abbreviation for the word etcetera you can see that it would be the first three letters as highlighted. The word is NOT ec tetera. I have used this recipe for many years and it has always gone down well with...

I don't know what Queensland Aldi is like but in Victoria I have NEVER had to put my groceries through the register myself. In fact, so far, there are NO self serve checkouts at Aldi and I would personally like to see it stay that way. The one thing that seems to be forgotten in large...

Americans call scones, biscuits and they tend to eat them at breakfast. Hence, they use the term cookies, as biscuits was already taken.

Basic human rights say we have the right to own property; the right to have desirable work and to join a trade union, which should put food on our table, a roof over our heads, and the ability to pay bills associated with doing these things. No way is this remotely possible, on government...

I'd like to see ALL our Pollies, have to live on the pension/jobseeker for 3 months, and see how they fair. Maybe then, they would realise that what they are so magnanimously giving as an increase, is in fact, just a pittance. Most people who are on a pension are because they have retired after...

My grandson who is 4 writes better than this!

This will go down well with elderly people who have not got and cannot afford a computer or a phone that allows internet access. Many have no idea how to use this type of phone. Did the powers that be ever think those trying to access their information may be computer literate? Many elderly...

In fact, there were class sets of them.

Have Coles started letting us use rainchecks again? Every time I have asked for a raincheck I was told they no longer gave them, first due to covid and then, due to supply chain problems.
