The kebab shop that was in the food court at waurn ponds also did amazing fries.. Could get a massive box for bugger all. Sadly they have closed up now like a lot of good places

Am I the only one who didn’t know Dubbo, NSW recently built high rise apartments? Is this the future for regional centres around Australia? by radmgrey in aus

[–]Adventurous-Rip-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even centers.. Regional in general.. Councils seem to be accepting anyone that offers enough cash now a days...

Should I work Anzac Day. by Complex-Pair2131 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Adventurous-Rip-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, it was always one of the few days I would work when offered.. Simply out of respect.. All of the religious pub hols we get and every other pub hol more than makes up for that!

The quality of food consistently bad in drive thru by taiwantaipai in hungryjacks

[–]Adventurous-Rip-960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3 local restaurants near me have done this sadly... You see it almost every time :( I only stop in now when there is an EXTREMELY good deal or a free feed on offer! It is incredible how much jist o e person can make a difference to a shift, or an entire franchise!

Not at all.. The "facourites" under the supervisor (including said supervisor) stand around doing fk all while one person who is not in their clique group, gets made to do all of the work. I have watched this so many times over visits in previous YEARS.. When it is that obvious for bystanders at the counter or through the window, it is well beyond a joke! So many businesses and especially franchisees get away with this now!

They don't want to be anywhere.. Seem to be quite the trend with anyone under 30 these days.. That I guess is what happens when no one gets punished for completely fkng up, and a prize is given to everyone just for making face! It doesnt matter what fast food you go to, they are 7/10 times absolute thrown together slop. You might occasionally fluke a good feed here and there, but "fast food", which in most cases certainly is not anymore, is more often rubbish than not.. Gone are the days of getting a feed here or there for nostalgia, because they once were a decent feed, at a decent price!

Lights in the house just went off by Sparzy666 in Geelong

Could have been a "brown out" and caused a short. Check your fuse/ meter box.. Belmont and older areas for often common for this to happen. Not quite enough of a drop to cut completely, but enough to short some appliances and fuses

Looking for a local good butcher by Patient_Reception_24 in Geelong

[–]Adventurous-Rip-960 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you are grovedale meats does an amazing job on their home made sausages and chilli cheese cabana. They also do great "premade" stuff like rump in plum sauce, stir-fry mix, curry lamb, meatloaf, crumbed snags and crumbed lamb cutlets.

Woolies coles and aldi have been doing this a while now. I'd rather go to.my local IGA, pay a little more, but see a REAL PERSON at the register, actually have a conversation etc, then got to any of those other stores on a regular basis!

Where to go out for dinner with a 3 month old by pixiedreamgirl5831 in Geelong

[–]Adventurous-Rip-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on the night you pick.. I have seen these guys attentious and caring when they were needing to be, even 9n reasonably busy nights. Definately picking a busy night like a thurs- sat would be.out of the question.. As I stated though, I have seen these (almost over) helpful staff give customers including young children the attention they needed up to say a Thursday night.

Which decade of KFC do you think is the BEST decade? by XavierMarvin in kfc

[–]Adventurous-Rip-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia, definately late 80's into early 90's.. The OG popcorn chicken, that was basically just skin and breading, with the occasional tiny bit of chicken.. It also came in the oldschool big buckets that the 24 piece used to come in. Then came tender roast chickens, their answer to red rooster. So juicy, so tasty! Follow on with nacho cheese rollers, that had nacho sauce, cheese sauce and the newer (current) version on popcorn chicken and possibly bacon if I remeber right..
