    Public sentiment boils over as Woolworths denies cash-out request

    If the manned checkouts do not have enough cash in their registers you can always go to the self service registers which will give you up to $500 without making a purchase. I work at a Woolies in a major shopping centre & there are no ATM's anywhere nearby so quite a lot of people use our store...

    Shoppers shave had 5 years to get used to bringing their own bags into the supermarket. How hard is it.

    Are you breaking Airbnb rules? This 'ridiculous' list is going viral – avoid being a target of 'entitled' hosts

    We are the same. Always leave the place clean & tidy with sheets, towels etc in a pile in the either the laundry or bathroom. Some of the cleaning fees Airbnb's charge are ridiculous. Makes you want to just walk out the door after your stay sometimes.

    Are you breaking Airbnb rules? This 'ridiculous' list is going viral – avoid being a target of 'entitled' hosts

    We stayed in a place in SA where one of the rules was dispose of all rubbish. When we left we emptied the inside rubbish bin (1 bag) & put it into the council rubbish bin. Got a call saying I was being charged $15 for rubbish disposal as there was rubbish in the council bin. WTF. Told them...

    Worth it or a waste of money? Investigating the value of Woolworths Everyday Extra

    The checkout operator should ask you if you want to use your discount. If they don't ask & just assume then they are not doing their job correctly. I work on checkouts & always ask (twice most times) if customer wants to us either their $10 off their shop or their 10% discount.

    At my Woolworths if the flowers are out of date they are given away to customers usually by the self serve team members

    Accusation of unsanitary meat display at Woolworths sparks heated debate - Which side are you on?

    If you look carefully at the photo, the grapes are in a sealed container. A customer has come along and opened one up most likely to see if they were to their liking & then didn't seal it back up. The open fruit containers that are in this part of the chiller are in a box so no part of the...

    One family’s ‘absolutely disgraceful’ discovery at their Airbnb ruined their whole holiday!

    We booked an Airbnb in Victor Harbor SA for March this year. Found out the property was on the market. When we contacted Airbnb they confirmed this & told us that "it may still be an Airbnb after the sale" but they couldn't guarantee it. Wondering if & when we were going to be told. We...

    Woolworths shopper's 'sneaky' find on supermarket shelf has everyone talking – is this legal?

    There aren't any more staff to put on. With winter there are many team members off sick. Just not enough to cover all shifts. We try our best

    Image of an ALDI checkout feature goes viral and sparks an intense debate online – What do YOU think?

    I work for Woolworths on the front end. I am 66 & do a 5 hour shift. We have fatigue mats to stand on. Because we pack our customers bags it would be too hard to sit. Aldi don't pack bags so sitting & doing your job is much easier. Yes I would like to sit while working but it would be...
