Having the bottom-vomits and not knowing the cause.

Annoying.

Think of it as a "free weight loss program" - people pay good money for those!

My daughter can always quit. But, the other fulltime female staff, some immigrants, need their jobs so they put up with this creep's behaviour.

If your daughter quits, before she does at least make the complaint to senior management, including the manager's lack of response.

Believe me, when my daughter finishes and if this is still an issue I will be going in personally and talking to this 'person' and their manager! I'll also be raising a complaint at their head office!

Eva888: Tell her to defend herself and whack him one hard across the face and to yell 'never touch me again.' Next step take nebs advice. What’s he going to do...call the police because she smacked him?

He knows exactly what he’s doing and is most likely secretly scared he will be caught. He’s not stupid, he knows the repercussions for harassment very well as does everyone these days and I’m certain he’s going to back off really fast when she or the others make loud noise and stand up to him.
Meek is not an option... tell her to reclaim her power.

Appreciate all advice :) My daughter is resilient so she'll deal with it during her 4-8 hours a week of work. It is an annoyance though.

My daughter was working yesterday and said that the creep made a customer cry ... an elderly lady came in asking for her tyre's to be inflated and he said some nasty things to her because he was 'too busy'.

Strangely being rude to customers is probably easier thing to get him punished for.

When a customer cries that is something seriously wrong with the management to not do anything.

Just discovered that my en-suite shower was incorrectly installed and wasn't sealed correctly. It started to leak quite badly!

The only way to fix is to remove, fix water damage, reinstall and seal the liner correctly or install new!!! Recently purchased. They don't tell you these things.

When a store makes things confusing.

The Warehouse Group created The Market to be their online marketplace.
The Warehouse Group morphed 1-day into The Market.

So far, all good.

The Warehouse Group have now decided to sell The Market items through thewarehouse.co.nz, 41,000 items and counting.

I stopped buying online from TWL when they sent the email saying that online sales would be via "TheMarket" and the conditions of dealing online meant they could sell your info to whoever they wanted!

Wonder if that applies at TWL now?

That's now the third case of this I've heard, the worst one being where it had progressed to the point that the floor joists had rotted out and it required a considerable amount of rebuilding to fix. Anyone know if a pinless moisture meter will work reliably through fibre-reinforced acrylic?

msukiwi:
6 months free Amazon Prime with 2D. At the end of the 6 months they don't warn you (Well not that I saw) that you will automatically be billed from then on!

Yes they did, it clearly said "Free for a limited time", which meets the legal requirements for them to quietly bill the bejeezus out of you when you least expect it.

Worst variant of this that I've heard of recently is Netflix, a neighbour repeatedly unsubscribed and cancelled their account with them, and at the end of every month they'd be billed again. Eventually they called their bank who did the equivalent of an eye-roll over the phone and said they're quite familiar with this and they'd cancel their credit card and send them a new one as it was the only sure way to get out of Netflix.

Google cancelling two orders of mine paid for using a US credit card but being shipped to a reshipper. I tried both Ship itto and Planet Express and both orders were cancelled within a day.

Didn't bother trying Youdhop because they're too well known already.

That sounds like you're trying to buy something that shouldn't be shipped or shouldn't be exported. Drone parts reshipped to an address in Lubyanka Square, Moscow?

Google Pixel Buds. It said it violated the terms of their sales agreement whatever that is. Anyway found them on Ebay so bought them here instead for the same price.

Persistent sparrows who are determined to roost at night up in the arms of our retracted retractable deck awning - and crap from there down onto the deck. It's a constant battle of wits keeping them out. To date this has involved pieces of light plastic netting fixed unobtrusively up there with cable ties.

This has been reasonably successful but now there's one that has found another part to inhabit. This can't be treated with netting so I'm off to Bunnings to buy some s/s bird spikes to attach to the arms.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
