What cheeses me off

[Mr_Orange]

nut juice

This, please!

 

[p--and--t]

So, should they be labelled as nut juice? Or plant juice?

Given "machine made in factory with alternative non genuine ingredients" is a bit long for labels we could just settle on "FAKE".

Oh go on. You are itching to reply-all with some kind of comment.

Ah no because then I too would be a w@anker

The thing that cheeses me off most was they said to come to the Multistory International Carpark - if you look at the map (big shopping centre like Marion etc) there is multi story carpark and an International Carpark so I emailed back and said which one with a screen shot and he replied with the postcode and as you probably know postcodes in the UK are very specific - why he didn't do that the first time I've no idea

Because it seems everyone else knew except you ... ask them.

So this arvo MrsProzac say there is a car out the back of the house. I wander out and there's this Mercedes SUV on the driveway which proceeds to move off. I stop it and the driver winds his window down and says "We are lost". Wow, that's some underf***ing statement. So what are you doing on my property? Turns out not even the right street. Jeez, place is going to the dogs. Who would drive 100m into someone's home???

Mmm if you read my response I did so them

No, the other 30 respondents.

Oh maybe I’ll email them all now. I had to email them again and ask them what the fee was if the Taxi dropped me off on the first floor of the car park because I did a dummy booking for 15 minutes on the car park website and it was £19 But apparently you get 20 minutes for free that was another WTF moment

In supermarket doing my shopping fruit and vege section
I watch as woman goes to each bag of grapes (unit price per bag)and pulls out a branch and starts to eat them. Then she puts a bag in trolley and keeps picking branches to add to her bag.
I was going to buy some grapes but changed my mind after this after her picky fingers had been everywhere (and I’d be shortchanged into the bargain). I communicated this too her
She said no worries ‘I’ll get you a full bag!!’
When I said what she was doing was wrong — ‘ that’s your problem not mine’ and moved on

I approached a manager later and explained

wcmo is to arrive at departures , pay $12aud for a trolley and find that the check in is just a few metres in the door.
Still simmering over this we went without a trolley at the Ft.L carousel as the pick up area looked to be just outside the door.
At the door ordered a Uber who first said 5min and seconds later said I am here…only problem was that the ride share area was a hundred metres away and it was chaos. Saved by the chaos as we beat the car to the pickup in the end
Heaps of spivs hustling for customers..some folks also on a cruise were hustled and very nearly in trouble only in the US…

At Woolies, there are usually no loose grapes, always bagged. I take grapes out of the bag, but I don't eat them there. I don't want a kg of grapes, way too much for one person.
They are weighed at checkout and the price/kg applied. Whatever the contents of the bag, you only pay for what you get.

I do the same - though usually do try one or two to check they are crisp and not soft ones.

I see many people just grab any bag without checking. They do pretty much the same with any fruit/vegetables. I like to choose.

With grapes I dont like that the supermarket has pre-packaged the grapes. I may only want 500g or I may want 1.5kg. Also many of those bags have loose grapes. I prefer to choose my own grapes.

Also grapes used to come in boxes. Why do supermarkets pre-package grapes in plastic bags? Is it because the loose grapes in the box were never sold?

Because it minimises handling, damage, and therefore wastage.

The loose grapes fall onto the floor and pose a hazard

Whilst we are bashing supermarkets WCMO is the big 2 advertise items which, when you shop, are out of stock even on day one of the offer week. When the offer period finishes the shelves miraculously restock themselves!

I know when I look for SPC Sliced Peaches this week that there will be nothing on the shelves.

Banks that move their branches into shopping centres along with ATM and shopping centre closes 9:00pm and does not re-open until 6:00am but parking is usually an issue anyway.
