Tuesday, 14:00 ish and Out Shopping
First outing in over 4 weeks for me.
Bin Inn was open, against expectation, and it was a clear run for me.
Pack 'n Save - good, I rocked up with my walking stick and got waved straight in.THANK YOU. There were maybe 40 people waiting.
No wholegrain oats, so on I went ...
Countdown Regent - 10-15 people waiting, it didn't take long to get in. And it didn't take long to get out. With wholegrain oats, and some nice cheeses.
New World Regent - maybe 30 people waiting outside. Wait was a little longer than 10 minutes, but no more than 15. Checkout was really fast.
I can't post from my phone, so had to wait to get home to the computer. Hope this gives you some idea though ....
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
