Is lockdown level three conspiring against your connectedness?
As part of an investigation into how socially isolated New Zealanders are, the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly is keen on hearing how Aucklanders are feeling now we're back in level three. Were you just getting back into the swing of social life again before you had to retreat? Or perhaps things are feeling a bit harder this time around. Has the pandemic changed how you socially interact? If you're happy to talk to us about how you're facing level three head on (again), please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, send us a message here, or reply below.
Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is being 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?
