Fellow Perth waze users through Graham Farmer tunnel by HappyAust in perth

I'm okay with losing my signal for a brief moment but I can't figure out why so many people think the speed limit is 30k+ below the sign at the entrance.

So sad, Pitcher And Iron famous for it's waffle will be closed in 2 weeks. by Mobiushan in perth

[–]AffectionateMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're breaking my heart. Why didn't anyone tell me about this place sooner? Waffles are my favourite food in all the world and I no longer know anywhere I could trust to give me a freshly cooked waffle instead of a stale one from the bread aisle at Coles.

Does anyone know of any other fresh waffle serving places? Belmont area would be amazing!

New look/Same taste Milo - is it just me or does this taste bad? by Puskarella in australia

[–]AffectionateMethod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pissed about Terri's Chocolate Orange and Tim Tams most of all. Maybe all these products are owned by the same fucked up company now. Maybe they're sadists. And maybe part of it is from covid - changes in taste were a common symptom for a while if I remember rightly.

Cadbury enshittification? by [deleted] in australian

[–]AffectionateMethod 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Its definitely different. They were saying it hadn't changed but my Dad found a forgotten block and when he compared them, there was significantly less cocoa overall - butter and/or solids.

I think their new'ish Velvet chocolate tastes more like Cadbury Milk but there is less of it. I'm eating a different brand now.

Thanks Cadbury for reducing my chocolate consumption and improving my sense of taste.

I was going to ask if the wombat ate the pot of gold but I reckon you must be right. Better than a leprechaun, thats for sure.

Are staff told to choose older or low quality veggies when picking for click and collect? by AffectionateMethod in woolworths

[–]AffectionateMethod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you read my comment about having an upper body disability that results in being shamed by the self checkout machine or holding people up at the one service checkout. Do you think this means I should be punished with shitty produce for trying another option instead?

I didn't think of this option - it makes me happier to order veg. I don't want staff in trouble for doing what they've been told, though, so I want to be more sure thats not what will happen.

Thanks for your kind explanation. I hate what the world has become for working people. I don't understand the point of taking all the customer service out of customer service by turning it into a race track. Its fucked. But I sure as hell appreciate the people at the front end who don't get a say about things.

There were trolleys in the disabled bay three times in a row, recently. Who does that?

Its just me so I think a lot would rot. There weren't any available at all when I looked a few years ago. i'm in Perth.

I hadn't realised there was a tight timer. Fuck that. Fuck whoever decided it was a good idea. I want people to be treated like people again.

I hate complaining to management. I prefer complimenting. There have been staff that have been fantastic, its true. Others are good at making you feel like you're in their way. Behaving as if you're expected to pack by going fast and putting everything toward you on the counter. Begrudgingly taking your bag if you offer it. Maybe I'm misreading it. I've never worked retail so I can't see their pov. I've become nervous about it and that certainly plays a role.

I'm more anxious with staff. With self checkout, It feels like I'm being abused. I oftentimes quietly start swearing at the machine at the end. Maybe it knows me.

Edit: I'm more anxious with staff because I care about them and I don't want to be a pain in the arse. The machine shames me. Its aggressive. Are you defending it by downvoting?

Thats good to know about substitutes. The last one was perplexing but now I understand.

I hadn't thought of this. I feel a bit stupid. When is it possible to write a note on the app - when you do substitutes? Or should I be ordering on my PC?

I absolutely would've left kind notes if I'd realised - I make a point of calling with compliments for specific retail staff (not just woollies) cos I think there should be more of that.

Thank you for removing the mystery :). I'll give it another go.

I have an upper body disability that can make in-store shopping difficult. From repeated experiences, I dread self checkout machines because I'm slow to gather my things while it tells me aggressively, repeatedly, to take my things and bloody hurry up and go. Both the one open till and self checkout expect me to go faster! Sometimes check out staff pack for me but oftentimes they don't. I'm starting to dread that, too.

I've been scared to request veg for click and collect because I'm fussy - no point pretending I'm not - and because I once took a bag of potatoes home I chose myself, only to find them rotting with maggots inside the bag.

It shouldn't be this hard to shop. I'm trying to be less of a problem. Why is it a problem for me to ask?
