Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...
I love the utter panic when someone omits to insert the 'next customer' barrier on the conveyor belt. The frenzied terror that someone might end up paying for an extra apple in the resulting anarchy is highly amusing. I enjoy deliberately not putting the plastic barrier thing in just to add a bit of spice to the shopping experience....
Genius!
I like to do this too - I hope we never encounter each other in the supermarket our there may be some sort of complete meltdown...

I love how "Australian Made/Grown/Owned/etc." seems to be code for "bend over and smile while we give it to you".
Thinking 'local is good' is a nice, green, thing to do, but here it seems to be just a way of overpricing goods.

Made in Australia doesn't always mean it is either

Coles (and probably Woolies now) have started selling 2L of milk for $2. but you try getting the 2L carton of HiLo after mid morning!
There's a reason this loss-leader has a very finite supply

It's called milk, looks like milk but it doesn't taste like milk.

I have worked in the airline industry for over 20 years and we have always used the 24 hour clock. Also my recently bought ticket to the UK uses it too.

$1.79 for 2 litres in the fruit shop
What I find interesting is that 'some' people complain that Coles and Woolworths are expensive, (which they are), and they should cut the prices.
Then they begin to cut some prices, and what is the reaction... ?
