Shopping local just bit itself in the bum!
This afternoon I went to Stevens in the Plaza to buy the red silicone utensils I saw online, they had all of the ones I wanted except the FLIPPER. I asked Aaron behind the counter if he could get one for me and without hesitation, a slight arrogance in his tone, he said NO. I asked if he can click and collect or get one from another store etc - NO. I proceeded to take the ones I could find in-store and came home to buy the flipper from their website and pay the shipping on top - which is fine.
However - in a day and age, where we are being asked to shop local I expect the customer service to shine, I enjoy a good shopping experience and will tend to return if it was a good experience, however, if not you have lost my business and I will happily shop from AliExpress, Amazon and other overseas markets...for a fraction of the cost to buy it at a shop local....think about that!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
