Gift wrapping
I was horrified to hear that the fantastic and helpful assistants at the local pharmacy were abused at the Christmas 'special' night in 2019. As a result, no wrapping was offered this year. Fair enough. However, what sort of cretins go to a special night with an amazing range of products at generously discounted prices and have the nerve to abuse staff who have been asked to wrap items? Most of us just waited patiently, having basic intelligence to realise that the delays were because the gift wrapping is skilled, appreciated and takes time. Too bad if you have to wait, learn to be patient, it wont kill you!

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)
.
