    ‘Rude’ checkout question sparks a heated debate among Woolworths Rewards members

    It's actually theft. You are claiming points that aren't yours so you are defrauding the company. Be very careful who's watching when you do this or you could end up in court.

    Will paper receipts soon be a thing of the past? Kmart is going (mostly) digital using new 'smart' Aussie technology

    It sounds good but is it just another way for hackers to access our bank accounts and personal information?

    Aussies can't believe how much this popular stadium snack costs - is it really worth it?

    Leave them on the shelf. Don't buy them. They will eventually go out of date and the vendors might think twice about charging such exorbitant prices while they are throwing them away. It's your choice to pay these ridiculous prices. Just don't buy them.

    The new Pension Work Bonus rule is taking effect today

    I don't think this will help a lot of pensioners. It's just a pathetic bandaid to prop up a dwindling workforce. If the government really wants to help pensioners then it could spread that $4000 across increased rebates on power, rates, rego and increase medical benefits. Then all pensioners...

    Australian Government hopes to cut smoking in half by 2030

    If the government really wanted to crack down on smoking they could ban it. But they would never do that partly because of all the tax that is paid by tobacco companies and smokers. Cigarettes are among the most highly taxed product in Australia. Do you really think that the government wants to...

    Bank fails to block transactions allowing scammers to drain $249,000 from a couple's savings

    If I were a customer of Bendigo Bank I would definitely being going elsewhere. Sounds like NAB and HSBC are much better options.

    New information about the Queen makes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's absence even worse — was it intentional?

    I think that nobody outside the Royal family really knows what goes on behind closed doors. The media are in the habit of making up stories for money and there is very little truth in the garbage that is printed.

    Your grocery bill is about to go up! Woolworths and Coles prices are on the rise

    Prices have been going up for a while and I have learned to shop around. I am shopping at Aldi more than ever and never buy fruit or verges from the supermarkets. Always support my local fruit shop as there products are fresher and better value. We all just have to learn to shop smarter and...

    Is this the future of shopping? Customers are amazed by UNIQLO’s new scanning technology

    Just another way for retailers to make more money by getting rid of staff. Not good for jobs and there will be no such thing as " customer service" any more.

    Airport food is EXPENSIVE for a reason, according to a retail expert

    Yes the prices are over the top. Most people know that and don't eat at an airport. If you can afford it then good luck to you.

    Arnott's customers saddened after beloved biscuit axed during pandemic

    Arnott biscuits have been slowly disappearing from shelves for years. Not only are certain types disappearing but the size is also getting smaller. If they keep shrinking there won't be much biscuit left anyway. Shop around and you will find better value for money elsewhere.

    Good news for pension recipients! Millions of Australians could see a cash boost to help with the cost of living

    Yes!!! When the CPI goes up so does the cost of living. It's only fair that welfare and pension payments should go up accordingly.

    Ex-Channel Nine star Cameron Williams charged with assaulting his wife

    I think it is important to remember that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. I hope he doesn't become a victim of trial by media.

    Can this new plan improve the state of Australian hospitals?

    Funding should be used for people NOT ROBOTS. I would hate the thought of a robot operating on me. People deserve jobs. They have mortgages and families to support. Robots don't. We should stop letting robots take away jobs from people when if the truth is to be told it comes down to saving...

    Coles & Woolies shoppers spot ANOTHER price gaffe!

    If an item scans at a higher price than the advertised price you are entitled to it for free. Keep that in mind if UT happens again.

    Coles & Woolies shoppers spot ANOTHER price gaffe!

    Everyone makes mistakes but surely the people who are putting up these price tags must question the validity of the amounts???
