Returning Items to Mitre 10
Happy New Year Everyone! Thought you might be interested in our experience.....We were bought a gift for Christmas, but we already had the same item. Obviously, we couldn't ask for the receipt as this was a present, so we went to Mitre 10, explained our dilemma and was refused point blank, any help. This item was $25., so quite a lot of money to 'loose'. No receipt/No refund/No bending the rules. It will be interesting to see if the Manager's Manager does phone us back..... We've been in this situation before with Bunnings and K Mart. Their Customer Service was exceptional (Australian companies, perhaps more flexible?) Needless to say, despite being previously good customers of Mitre 10, we will never be going there to shop again. Just a simple heads up, if you find yourself in the same position.
What should the rules be for alcohol in public?
We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw
The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.
In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.
We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).
We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
Poll: How do you feel about dogs being allowed indoors in cafes?
For most of us, seeing a friendly doggo while out and about instantly brings a smile to our faces. But how do you feel about cafes welcoming pups inside?
