Well you know I'm enroled in a sociology experiment and the only way I can buy stuff is via gift cards.

Thanks for the analysis. I'm surprised don't sign their cards being a major problem. I've actually been told to sign my card when doing a…

Fair enough so do you actually care if someone shoplifts or do you do it because it is the company's policy and you are trained to do it?…

Standing behind me even after they helped me with the checkout error messages on the machine for one.
04/11/2022 - 18:55
Well to put it simply is a human's natural tendency to not want to be seen doing something dodgy. Just because you have the right doesn't…

I was replying to another post about combining all the giftcards into everyday pay which coles don't have. But good point I'll mute the…

I will do that for all my subsequent shopping at Woolworths to avoid drawing attention to myself for making multiple transactions. Too bad…

Interesting I've never seen anyone deposit coins into the machines before. Good on you? What problems did they start may I ask?

04/11/2022 - 11:37
Good point. I will try doing that next time. But it makes you wonder why do I have to explain it to them before the process or be…

Not that they care about me but about upholding the company's policies (to earn profit that is) and to train what they are taught to do…

That is very true at least they do not have to check my receipt to see if I bought the Coles bag
03/11/2022 - 12:16
I don't care really but it makes you reflect when you're the only shopper that warrants the attention of the staff...
03/11/2022 - 12:14
Yes. I do tap and pay 5 times which makes 5 beeping sounds and 5 taps. Apprarently that warrants attention.
03/11/2022 - 12:13
Well then the staff must think I am an important person then :)
03/11/2022 - 12:11
Yeah I wouldn't be doing that in a busy queue. And when there is no queue, it's so much work for so little savings (not the process itself…
03/11/2022 - 10:41
I think I'll send my gift cards to you instead and save on the $200 I'll potentially spend visiting a psychologist. What a win-win! And…
03/11/2022 - 10:33
I only do 5 split transactions (1 dollar each, with the rest of the amount on my normal debit card) when there is no customers at the self…
03/11/2022 - 10:29
I don't do one cent or one dollar debit card transcations at serviced checkout at all at most two 90 dollar transactions for the HSBC spend…
03/11/2022 - 10:15
Then they have to check the balance which takes a while. And redo the gift card payment part. Which is a pain in the arse. Especially when…
03/11/2022 - 10:05
True but pretty hard to do one dollar or one cent debit card transactions at the staffed checkout only plausible for using two gift cards…
03/11/2022 - 10:01
That is part of the reason Africans in Yankee-land die earlier because of all the stigmatistion like being suspected of shoplifting or…
03/11/2022 - 09:49
Sometimes I go to the staffed check out instead and ask to do multiple purchases instead of doing self-check out, or when I am doing…
03/11/2022 - 09:47
I mean I am still doing it but I think this warrants a $200 consultation with a shirk so cost-wise it is not beneficial so I think maybe I…
03/11/2022 - 09:44
As subject. I will try to use multiple payment methods (mostly 2, sometimes 3, seldom 5) to use up my remaining one or two dollar gift card…
03/11/2022 - 09:36
You mean for subscription purchases? :)

Yes it is a nice place the high rises in Milton are nice too if it weren't for the floods. Living here only because of the river otherwise…
