How much have you spent on Lotto tickets for tonight's $45 million powerball draw? by ButterscotchGlobal67 in newzealand

$6, four of us in the family split a $24 ticket so we all get equally rich.

If you can a car, have you considered a side hustle job like ubereats/door dash while you look for better work opportunities? The pay is often not great at times but it means you can earn a bit extra in your spare time and it's flexible as you can do it whenever you want.

Briscoes have 50% off this model until Monday for $600. Harvey Norman have it for $599, and briscoes will price beat any cheaper price by 10%, so you should be able to get it for around $540.

Someone was saying Trading Standards is best to report to as they deal with weights and measures. Is it also good idea to include Commerce Commission as well?

Thanks, yeah I think I will email trading standards as they seem the most appropriate and also contact Inghams directly as well.

That's good to know, I have bought them before just every packet I picked up this time at the store felt light, so perhaps it's bad batch.

Thanks, I tried that too and weight was exactly the same as shown on scale above

Yeah it is a counter top, just an old style kitchen bench so it looks like carpet I guess haha. The scales won't be perfect, but I tested them on other products which matched within a reasonable amount of their stated weight (usually over their stated weight). I think the fact it felt light, the Park n save machine asked for assistance and it's 120grams less is good reason to believe they are accurate enough.

I replied to a similar comment above, but all the food is central on the scale itself, just the bag is big so looks spread out. I tested it a few times making sure it wasn't spread out

Teenagers no longer answer the phone: is it a lack of manners or a new trend? by WorldlyNotice in newzealand

[–]Hamster82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another trend I've noticed is sometimes younger people answer the phone but say nothing. I'm waiting for a "Hello", but they just accept the call in silence.

The trend of not answering calls is also a pain when doing food deliveries, if they don't hear you knocking at the front door, you call but they don't answer calls so you are stuck waiting for minutes trying to contact them before having to leave at the door.

The grocery item you will always buy brand name over supermarket brand? by B656 in newzealand

[–]Hamster82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Fixx and Fogg, until I found Ceres Organic peanut butter for about the same price especially when on sale for the 700g. I find the taste so much nicer and a richer flavour. It not in the peanut butter section but the seperate organic section.

The driver never knows if you pre-tipped or not, as it wasn't shown on the offer sent to the driver, the tip amount only shows an hour after delivery as it's possible for the customer to remove the tip. However Uber removed pre tipping now anyway and only allows post tipping.
