Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

BIKE RACK RACKET
Wellington City Council recently provided a large public covered bicycle rack on or near The Terrace at a horrendous cost of $562,000 plus interest from the loan and no guarantee it will be utilised past a few bikes.
I hope that the covered bike rack outside of Wallaceville railway station in Upper Hutt didn't cost more than $20,000. This rack holds 32 bikes but my wife and I have never seen more than two bikes stationed there at any one time - usually either one or none - in the year or so of been constructed.
Talk about wasting ratepayers money. It's all part of this craze on cycle lanes and the misguided notion of demand and useage.
Photos show the Wallaceville bike stand taken today at 4pm.
Happy Friday neighbours, the last riddle race of the week is on!
I can be long or short,

I can be round or square.
What am I?
