HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT TO BE SERVED?
Hi Neighbours,
Last Tuesday evening we went for a meal at an ethnic restaurant.
We arrived at 6.00 p.m. and placed the order.
The meal was served around 7.30 p.m.
Is this length of time acceptable ?
Is there a regulatory body that oversees customer satisfaction, other than the Ministry of Health that only supervises health standards?
We did talk to the manager who gave the lame excuse that they had a shortage of cooking staff.
A visit to the Tripadvisor revealed that we were not the first customers to experience such delay. They too had received the same excuse.
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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
