Who else thinks that long service leave has well and truly out served it's purpose (did it ever even have one?)? Stay at a company for 10 years and you get 2 months of leave. Sounds good in …

Particularly bad deals and bonuses since the end of 30 days of November ( and even then, only a few of those were good ). I have just got an offer of ‘Small Cheeseburger Meal Plus Cheeseburger for …

Can we all agree that they suck and will never be as good as the original? Hated Charlie and Choc Factory with miserable John Depp. Hate this new young punk and his stupid hat in the 2023 …

Strange how people whine that females are paid less than males, but then you look at the rules and see they are different. State of Origin: Women - 2 games with 2 x 35min halves Men - 3 games with …

Anyone else shocked at the amount of food waste you see at restaurants? Regularly see waiters taking back plates that aren't even half eaten (and most of the time, the serves are not THAT big - …

I can't be the only person, but it seems like ALDI is becoming less 'useful' by the day. Yes, ALDI has the same price everyday, which is good in one sense. However, the same …

They take 30% of revenue from small businesses, and they also charge a delivery fee to customers. They pay the workers shit. They advertise rubbish like 'deliveroo plus' and 'uber …

With regard to shrinkflation (company's reducing the quantity without reducing the price, or doing some combination or reduced quantity and increased price). I have noticed that even …

I know there have been new articles and doctors whinging about the medicare care rebate not being raised for ever. My local medical centre just announced that they are moving to a copay system. Now …

If ever anyone needed a reason to hate getting a raise, it is the medicare levy surcharge (and other scams like Lifetime Health Cover loading). Why are there these policies to prop up an industry …

It's one thing to charge dead people. But what about the fact that 99℅ of people don't really need financial advice? Just don't buy crap on a credit card. Pay highest interest debt …

I have tried to order dominos in the last two days. The website fails on the online payment. Anyone else had this experience? Looks like they changed their website for online ordering recently.

Given it is end of year and many people are probably having end of year lunches at work. Went to a restaurant, and the waiter was so fast to remove my drink. Hand comes out of no where and takes …

One thing I have never quite understood is why company's are so worried about large leave balances, and more so during COVID. Hasn't anyone taken a class in accounting? The expense is …

Hi, Has anyone else had this experience? I ordered something, and I apply company allowance or credit from promo code. I put in a payment card to pay for the remainder. For some reason, I cannot …

I always buy KFC when they run promotions like 24 nuggets for $10, or $4.95 fill up box. I also always get the free chips and drink with the survey. Every time, without fail, the chips are poorly …

Looking at the menu of a restaurant. It says: " All credit card transactions incur a processing fee of 1.0% | All debit cards incur a processing fee of 0.5% | All EFTPOS no charge …

Look at the mymaccas app on google play store. It has an average rating of 2.2, with more negative reviews added each day. They keep trying to push more people onto the app, by advertising exclusive …

I just tried the trick of turning a traditional pizza into a premium pizza by selecting 'Half & Half' and then choosing Premium for both sides. They added a $2 surcharge. :(

Looks like Woolworths and Coles are somewhat taking advantage of the current situation. Very few specials. Woolworths did not release a formal catalogue, because they are unsure of supply, but going …

I have been researching this recently. (Not becoming a merchant, just out of interest) Damn is it complicated. Different fee rates for Credit vs Debit Cards. Different fee rates for Rewards vs Non …

I have been working at the same company for the last 3 years. I have barely taken any sick leave, or even much annual leave. I have more sick leave than actual leave! I am really getting sick of …
