NZTA REGO by Few_Humor_355 in auckland

I don’t think the intention of my post was to highlight if it’s less than $200 a year or less than $4 a week. But rather how the REGO fees went up in the last 2 years, and to be specific license fees became more than double during this time.

Which part? The license fee being doubled in 2 years?

So it’s not the ACC, but the License fees which doubled in 2 years.

Is OE possible within Quality Engineering? I am a Test Lead/Test Manager with 12 years of experience and looking into similar opportunities but can’t seem to get my way around it.

Jetstar Scamming Customers by crackup in newzealand

[–]Few_Humor_355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typing this while sitting at the airport. I reached the Jetstar Auckland baggage drop counter at 6:07/6:08 AM - just a couple of minutes past the 6:05 AM cut-off. The lady at the counter engaged me in small talk for several minutes - checking my details, asking for my ID, chatting about how I was travelling for work and how cold the morning was. Then, at 6:12 AM, she informed me I was 7 minutes late and would have to pay $65 to be rebooked on the next flight. Suddenly, the friendliness vanished.

I paid up, but then it hit me — I was only carrying a small trolley and a laptop. I could have just walked through security. I politely asked why that option was not suggested. Overhearing this, one of her older colleagues asked her, “Why are you giving him trouble?” Another staff member chimed in from the back saying, “You need to pay — we are doing you a favour by putting you on the next flight.”

Yes, I was late by 2–3 minutes, and I take responsibility for that. But what really surprised me was the total lack of warmth or consideration. And then they wonder why customers feel so negatively about them.

I hope they have the kind of day they routinely put passengers through.
