    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    It's not just the 'no cash accepted' businesses we need to stand up against but also the government and banks as they are also forcing us to go down the path of a cashless society which then in the end costs us more of our hard-earned money and enables them to track where and what we spend our...

    Travel trouble: Measles scare in Aussie state after overseas trip highlights vaccination gaps

    Unfortunately, we now have many parents not getting their children vaccinated post COVID, due to being 'vaccinated out'. They feel that they and their children don't need any more vaccinations or they are over the vaccinations, lockdowns and everything else that came with COVID, forgetting that...

    ‘Bad idea’: Cruise passengers' 'disrespectful' behaviour sparks outrage

    Cruise passengers who take the mattresses out onto the balcony are stupid ignorant idiots. There are chairs out on the balconies that they can relax on. If they want to stretch out, go down to the pool areas where there are the lounges they can stretch out and lay on. Stop putting future...

    Woolworths’ decision on iconic ANZAC Day tradition leaves veterans outraged: ‘It’s common courtesy’

    It appears that Woolworths is now not stocking and promoting the days that are applicable to our Australian history. I am disappointed that they will not be selling the ANZAC Day tins of biscuits as I have been buying these tins each year to collect as well as support our RSL Australia. As a...

    Major Aussie retailer faces serious allegations from the ACCC

    I can relate to this Suzanne. The same thing happened to me in 2023. Was not impressed either. Have also found that some of their clothes these days are not the best quality as the first time you wear the, the stitching is coming apart - I had a pair of long black pants that I wore out one...

    Major Aussie retailer faces serious allegations from the ACCC

    Recently delivery of my orders has been quick. Last year however, some orders took weeks. Another disappointing and annoying experience that I've had several of now is after completing my order and paying for it, a day or up to a couple of days later, receiving an email advising me that I'm...

    Attention drivers: Are new regulations set to skyrocket the price of ute or SUV?

    I am disgusted with the way this is being forced on us so quickly when the recharging infrastructure is not set up to keep up with the demand now. The recharging stations out in some rural and outback areas are run on diesel generators so, this is why in the outback areas diesel and petrol...

    Leaked emails expose how supermarkets profit more while customers ‘get screwed’

    I don't understand how Coles and Woolworths could have any doubt about the increased cost to the production of goods. Petrol has gone up, electricity has gone up, gas has gone up, water has gone up, insurance has gone up, the cost of feed for farmers to feed their livestock has gone up...

    Why does this obscure policy at Woolies infuriate shoppers?

    I find quite often when doing my shopping at Woolworths that they have perishables such as milk and meat products, particularly mince and the pre-packed salads & vegetables, that only have between 3 to 4 days for you to use them, sometimes less. It's quite frustrating when you only want to do a...

    You won't believe what this customer uncovered regarding Coles ‘specials’!

    I’ve noticed that both Woolworths & Coles have been doing this for many years. As I used to work in the retail industry over 25 years ago I always look at the regular price under the special price label to check out how real the special “savings” actually are. Quite often you will find specials...

    Is a cashless society in Australia closer than we think?

    This move to a cashless society is more "Big Brother" where we are being watched and monitored for what we are doing. The banks will be making even more profits from the customers for the shareholders with fees for transactions. Come this summer we have been warned on today's news that there's...

    What prompted Qantas chairman Richard Goyder's sudden early retirement?

    Qantas has a long hard job ahead to win back passengers and their trust as well as its reputation. I stopped flying with Qantas quite some years ago when I paid the high fares and was put on a Jetstar aircraft with Jetstar crew and staff. I was not impressed. I'd paid to fly with Qantas and got...

    Coles draws flak for ‘sneakily’ raising milk prices

    I wouldn't mind paying that bit extra as long as it's passed onto our Australian dairy farmers. We are now at a record low of dairy milk production here in Australia due to over the past couple of decades many dairy farmers going out of business. There is now such a shortage of Australian dairy...

    Hacker hits one of Australia’s largest charities with a cyber attack - is donor information safe?

    My personal information has now been compromised 4 times due to these hackers getting into the companies’ data. I will not be signing up with any new charities etc as I have had to get a new drivers licence and update my passwords and ensure the access to accounts are more secure. It‘s a concern...

    Shoppers furious over errant trolleys in car park – who's to blame?

    I agree with you that the shoppers have to take responsibility For the trolley. There’s so much laziness these days. Look at the food courts - even though there are rubbish and recycling bins, it gets left on the tables for cleaning staff. So much is taken for granted in today’s age. I think...

    Woolies shopper discovers ‘hidden’ problem in her pack of mince meat

    I’ve had the same thing happen with Woolworths 500g beef stir fry in the past. when I got home and weighed the amount of beef stir fry it was over 100g under the 500g I paid for as they had made me pay for the weight of the plastic packaging as well as the product. I took it back to Woolworths...
