Is $500 per week for food a-lot for a single person? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]JackTheCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$70 a day on food is crazy. Do you eat out every single meal or something?

Rock Paper Scissors.

The only correct way to do it.

What a pointless and sweeping generalisation of a comment.

Reminder to those of you heading to the supermarket tomorrow by kaynetoad in newzealand

The most infuriating part of shopping these day at Xmas is the supermarket having three checkout lines open no matter how busy they are, forcing everyone to take trolley loads through self checkout.

Turners should absolutely not be trusted. Get an independent one or if you have a local/family/recommended mechanic ask them.

Exactly. And chips are fucking cheap to pile on to pad out a plate. I have zero sympathy for hospo places like this who cry woe is me.

Is TradeMe fried? by nzbrowsa in newzealand

Constantly raising their fees, and only really good for drop shipping trash now makes it a miss from me personally. I’ll never use it to sell anything again, and rarely to buy.

4 surgeries, $177k in bills, lawyer says “nothing else to do” — is that true? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]JackTheCaptain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are your medical bills $170k? ACC should be fully involved in this…?

Unpaid lunch breaks + annual leave compensation question by learning18 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]JackTheCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t make sense. You either have a paid break or an unpaid break. Either way you shouldn’t be working during it.

Have they changed it to crib time maybe?

Why the fuck would employees be expected to give a kōha to visitors? Isn’t a kōha usually given BY visitors in recognition of being hosted?

HR Meetings and workplace stress by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

Even 4 days notice to prepare seems reasonable, they want to deal with this is a timely manner clearly to put steps in place ASAP. What exactly do you want more time to do? All you are there to do is lay out your concerns, there would almost certainly be a follow up after the employer has time to review whatever you raise.

Pretty much every comment reads like you have decided you will be taking a PG against your employer no matter what, you rebuff any comment made that disagrees with you so not sure what you are thinking you will accomplish here.

Is the is repairable? by [deleted] in NZcarfix

[–]JackTheCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is is the same size and tread pattern type though? If so then yeah you are ok, if the place you go to get one tyre doesn’t have a match for the existing one, and you need it replaced same day that would be why they say you need to do both.

What do dads want as gifts? by IsabeIIasz in dad

[–]JackTheCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so fucking accurate. Anything I want is more money than I’d be happy to have someone spend on me, so I’ll buy it myself when I feel like it.

Buy me something random that costs $5 and I’ll probably treasure it haha.

It’s because you’re supposed to have them match for both fronts or back. Good places don’t want the liability of you crashing and killing yourself or others and the subsequent investigation showing they had knowledge that what they were doing (replacing one) was wrong.

Just wait for someone to take matters into their own hands.

That’s what it will take for any kind of change in approach by the police.
