So how are you supposed to know what kind of ticket someone holds? Those people with extra or oversize bags may well be within the rules. Maybe they paid extra for the privilege. ...

 

Fair point, but when they are way down the back of the plane with me and the other hoi polloi it's a reasonable assumption that they don't hold any status and have bought the cheapest fare available, just like myself.

When doctors' (and other medical services) receptionists staple the eftpos docket to the front of the proper receipt.  The reason I (and I expect most other people) want a receipt is to claim on health insurance, so I need to scan it and it's a pain in the .... to try and get the stupid docket off and not rip the receipt.

 

Ask your Doctors receptionist/pharmacy/optometrist if they are affiliated with your health insurance company. All of my local ones are, I just gave them my Southern Cross insurance number once and it's done automatically every time- so much easier than scanning everything and submitting claims.

Geektastic: Do they not use the systems that prevent the trolley from being removed? I will admit I have never seen one here, but they were getting quite common in the UK before I left. Once you cross the carpark boundary, the wheels lock on the trolley so it won't move. Maybe too many visits from Bubbles....

 

My local Countdown claims to have that system, but I've never tried to test it!

Countdown use it here in Christchurch, but people determined to "steal" the trolley just lift it over the boundary (Where the trigger wire is buried) so the lock wheel is not triggered.

Can be pretty heavy if its full of shopping.

A couple of years ago I found a cul de sac that contained no fewer than 5 trollys all within 10 meatres of each other. The location was about 500 metres from the local Countdown. Countdown have a form on their website were you can notify them, so I did.

Hope that isn't permanent.

Not sure what system they have, but the ones I know of use a wireless boundary. Once the trolley passes that line, whether in the air or on the ground, the wheels lock.

I also wonder. I liked having him around and hope it isn't permanent but I doubt it is due to the above post. @Freitasm has lost patience with right-wingers who try to justify subtle racism and authoritarianism, but he isn't unreasonable. I suspect it must have been something else, possibly a private discussion.

I hope blakamin didn't die in the Aussie heatwave, like some wild horses apparently did.

Maybe he's busy shooting cats.

The builders ute that parked in a mobility park without a permit and the nearest place to park was a long way from my chemist. The result I was unable to pick up much needed medication.
