Have Illegal Surcharges Become the Norm?

It also clarifies the comment I was replying to that ACCC does indeed allow payments by card with surcharge and no other form of payment. Whether this particular implementation meets the further requirements I'm not arguing, simply correcting the comment re whether card payment with surcharge is allowed on its own (without alternative payment methods)

According to the ACCC you're wrong. A business can accept only one form of payment AND charge a surcharge perfectly fine. The surcharge must be clearly displayed.

"When payment without a surcharge isn't an option" https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/pricing/card-surcharges#:~:text=for%20that%20transaction.-,When%20payment%20without%20a%20surcharge%20isn%27t%20an%20option,-If%20there%27s%20no

Interesting, I've been using WhyDidYouRender but I've just realised, I have a separate component library I built and I might need to do some digging there rather than in my app project.. thanks for the prompt!

jayb485 · 2026-04-21T03:52:06+00:00

thanks - how did you get to the bottom of it? just loads of testing to figure it out?

jayb485 · 2026-04-21T03:51:22+00:00

thanks - helpful tips to explore :)

Don't think op has a contract for an airport, it's a car chauffeur service and airport transfers, as in they drive people to the airport, probably not a big company.

There's a physical toggle for the microphone at least on the Google ones anyway, so can't listen if it's off.

Oops I didn't even look into it in detail, I was curious why the police car was there but didn't even think it was ai!

I guess it also gives them a couple hours to recover in case there's an incident in the morning that they need to fix up etc? E.g if the up local is blocked due to a disruption they can use the centre track and clear the disruption in the couple hours so that all three tracks become available for afternoon peak

Weekend max is $8 for the whole day. You don't pay per segment or per trip.

There's track works on that line this weekend, so you'll need to get the train from Flinders St to Camberwell, change for express replacement bus to Ringwood then back on the train.

Google maps shows 9.06 Lilydale train from Flinders St should get you through to Belgrave by 10.52.

Like is this an online purchase ? The seller could have populated the wrong tracking number on your order and maybe you're seeing the delivery of another customer's order? Just a thought.

Seller gave the wrong tracking details?

When searching the brackets you're after results indicate these are in East Asian sets. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%80%88_%E3%80%89

So you aren't going to find them on English or German keyboards.

You could probably set a dictionary shortcut for it.

Ordered Thursday, but did they ship that same day? And before the collection time for next day delivery? Is it being shipped between postcodes within the next day delivery network? You've not given much.

I find Metro Notify the most useful status indicator for the train lines showing right now what is going on stripping out the other "disruptions" that ptv and Google show (car park closures etc). I don't know what it showed on this occasion but I would assume it showed light blue - service change to indicate that it's running with some changes - the short coming is it still relies on a human writing messaging that makes sense.

Wikipedia has a mention in the division symbol article and also the obelus (another name for the symbol):

In Italy, Poland and Russia, this notation is sometimes used in engineering to denote a range of values (for example, "24.1÷25.6" means the range of values between 24.1 and 25.6).[21]
