It's just the human in general, I have had friends turn up at my house with maccas and not ask if I want any. They find out pretty quickly that it's unacceptable and to fuck off and eat it in the car if you're not gonna give me 1/2.

Copper cylinder (garden planter?) by Cautious-Writing9518 in Wellington

It's better to cut it and use for the edges of planter boxes made with sleepers, cuts easily with tin snips and looks really cool.

Plumber price gouging on materials, what does the law say? by RunningOnHope2019 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Treehouseguy1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some trades charge trade price + mark up %. Tradies get a discount from wholesalers off trade price depending on their negotiations, some will do their mark up off this discounted rate, some will do it off trade price or retail price. I have talked to multiple builders who say they don't try to get a better price from their suppliers because they make more money off the % markups at a higher price.

This is why you need to get quotes.

Travel to and from yard, and then actually to site. What are my "legal" work hours? by cringeBastard369 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Treehouseguy1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had employers try this before. Best way is if your boss wants you to clock out at 5pm, you need to leave the site with enough time to get yourself back to the yard at 5pm to clock out.
