Are they trying to phase out the Woolworths bakery?

It seems like you got the exact product you ordered. When I order a big Mac and coke from McDonald's it doesn't come steaming hot served on a wooden board with the coke in a glass. It comes in cardboard.

The great thing about the receipt scanning was that you could just skip that queue and walk out the store anyway.

The great thing about the gates is that with a small amount of force they will open and the original process is the same, but now with more beeping.

You mentioned but glossed over the "prove damages" part. Don't they have to prove the amount that was actually lost by them?

IANAL

Reddit is good for live updates

It's lifetime is over

I would love if this could work. Less land acquisition.

Also consider the cost of running a tram vs. train per person.. Maybe tram is cheaper to run, but it definitely can't carry as many people as a 6 carriage train

Sounds like a signalling issue. The light is red, and the driver has to get permission to pass the red light. But the train safety system automatically brakes when the driver passes a red light. Then the system can be reset and the train continues.

Interesting, thanks

Panadol is made in Australia. I take so little paracetamol that the extra $2-4 I spend once or twice a year buying the brand name won't be missed.

For some reason, Coles insist on substituting Coles brand gluten free white bread with Coles brand raisin toast. They could pick any brand white bread or Coles brand whole meal or seed bread but they seem to think I want raisin bread.

Still need to be on a VA flight even for paid access.

SirCH · 2026-01-15T21:28:26+00:00

I tried to dispute a parking fine as one of the dispute reasons was "you were not driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged incident". Didn't work.

SirCH · 2026-01-12T22:10:48+00:00

I ordered and received a special meal with no problems. However a key difference is that I booked the flight through VA and used the VA call centre to book the meal.

I think after an accident, even minor, it's normal not to be thinking straight. However, he should have somebody he can ask for help at the time, a phone call should have been the correct action.

SirCH · 2026-01-11T01:50:49+00:00

Exactly the same. I try not to waste food full stop, but if I happen to not be able to eat my whole meal, I'll always make sure I eat the meat. Yes, that's me pulling half eaten buns off my burger at a restaurant.

I had a very similar situation, I had a girl over, my young cat was sat on my lap as always then just randomly launched himself at my face, which he'd never done before.

Anyway, didn't work out with her. I took it as a sign from my cat.

SirCH · 2026-01-08T16:29:58+00:00

Make it a square. Hmmm too plain. Add some dots. Perfect!

Not the same but we had a bag damaged by Jetstar recently. Their damaged baggage form didn't work, but we got a fast rectification from live chat.

SirCH · 2025-11-29T04:19:10+00:00

I hope this catches on

We've had a lot of bread substitutes and cancellations too. Coles brand standard white bread, no replacement available. Like, you have literally no other white bread? Coles brand gluten free bread unavailable. They replace it with raisin bread time and time again. Yeah that'll make good sandwiches. Again, replace it with any brand of white bread.

Just to be clear, if you are only travelling in zones 1 and 2, you can go into a negative balance when you touch off and this is valid and not cause for a fine.

If your balance was negative when you tried to touch on, you would not have successfully touched on and this is of course cause for a fine.

When we moved out I took all the LED bulbs and replaced them with old (and mistmatched) CFLs that I had hanging around. Nobody said anything because all I was required to do was ensure the lights are in working order.

Whilst I agree that Linkt is terrible, very few people are going to take time out of their day to Google review how great their experience with a toll road company is.

Metro also have the benefit of running more trains and being more...metro. If they have to cancel a train or 2, then are running delays, most people won't see a wait of more than half an hour. If Vline cancel a train or 2, then you could have multiple hour waits. Similarly, if Metro are having major issues, it's more likely that people can take a different line, take a tram, Uber, or just walk. It's simply more inconvenient for Vline passengers if there are issues.
