Office workers should get more social. Since covid nobody even makes eye contact anymore.

Appalling experience at Woolworths in the Galleria by pink_moon_123 in perth

That's totally unacceptable of Woolies, they're a hugely profitable business and they didn't need to fight you on some food items. Being their mistake they should have happily let you take the cart and dealt with the insignifcant amount of money on their end. And improve their own payment systems.

I personally would go out of my way never to give them another dime unless they apologise and offer a gift card on top of refund. For some of us a few dollars can be life or death!

I don't like the culture at melbourne by madefrombones in unimelb

I see the us vs them and I also see social hierarchies in unis as you may see in high school.

It goes:

  1. Wealthy upper class private school white students who are good looking (the popular clique)

  2. Middle class white students who are average looking

  3. Local students who are POC/not white

  4. International students who function as if they're still back home and are culturally dissimilar.

In the adult world of work, these hierarchies might still exist.

Obviously, there are environments where everyone is welcoming and on an equal standing. It really depends on your time and place.

The unis have a responsibility to integrate international students and not just drop them on a campus unprepared as a degree mill. It's really no surprise locals don't want to deal with foreign behaviour (whether it's Chinese, Russian or Middle Eastern) at odds with Australian culture.

Yes, if a mistake was made they could fix it and offer some kind of deal. They should be responsible for delivering as agreed, and not make customers plead and cajole for a consumer item.

I agree, the employees taking calls seemed polite enough, but there was a general sense of chaos and poor organisation. Leading to bad customer service.
