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 banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
