    Popular bagel shop slapped with $23,000 bill over simple windows

    I think that is a disgrace and shows the heavy handedness of councils. They need to pull their heads in and concentrate on the things that are really important and not try to destroy business. As akready mentioned you do have to wonder what was really at play here.

    Airport snacks cost less than supermarket shopping: How grocery giants lost plot

    I buy my mints from Aldi, one of the few things I do at a considerable saving, just under $2.00 so Coles and Woolworths are definitely ripping the customers and their suppliers off no doubt about it. Alot of us have been saying it for a long time and I am slowly switching where I can. When you...

    Sick child, cold boss—should a parent really feel guilty for taking emergency leave?

    Some bosses unfortunately just don't have people skills or tact and unlikely to get them at this late stage. He probably saw his cruisey day going down the gurgler. We've all worked, all had to have days off for one reason or another and you all chip in to cover for the one's missing. Depending...

    Costco's confusing new checkout rules leave shoppers scratching their heads

    I don't shop at Costco myself but I can certainly understand what they are doing here and why it varies from store to store as I am sure the level of stealing varies amongst stores so one size does not fit all.

    Trust betrayed: Aged care worker's alleged $30,000 shopping spree exposes Australia's growing elder abuse crisis

    Bank details like that should not be sitting in their aged care residences for these carers to get their hands on. Need much tighter control in fact it's just a disaster waiting to happen on a much wider scale in my opinion. It's a very sad world when everyone preys on the vulnerable and those...

    Pensioners left 'waiting to die' in regional Victoria as specialist healthcare costs rise

    Usually the person who is asking you to get the service can tell you who bulk bills or not in your area. Seniors should be getting assistance in this area and not just going home to die because it's too hard or too expensive. That's not good enough.

    When 30 days becomes 178: The surgery crisis hitting Australian hospitals

    And our premier would sooner spend money on a racetrack and big ticket events paid for by the tax payers for undisclosed sums instead of fixing the hospital and health system and other more important problems. What the hell! And I am sure other states are in the same position.

    Card aisles disappear while discount shop shifts focus toward unexpected new store concept

    I think the reject shop has been amazing up until now for cheap lovely cards. Very disappointing to hear that is stopping. Wondered why there were not much in stock last time I was there. Guess that is another shop I will not be going to. Will have to find somewhere else to find decent cheap cards.

    THIS hidden rule change stopped our parcels to the USA—and how it’s been fixed

    I no longer send anything anywhere but it must be annoying for people who have family in America. Postage alone is expensive enough if you want to send gifts to family.
