Off topic here, but Vik... I'm, wondering why on earth do you refer to yourself in the 3rd person in a post. Its a bit odd..... Funny but odd...... or is that the desired effect?

10 years time, we'll have no army of teens running the place, just self serve checkouts who which if you try to start a conversation with them, they don't respond haha.

You should hear me when I'm near one of those things with my 4yr old daughter. I wont let her within 2 feet of it because she always manages to set off the "unidentified item in bagging area" or "item removed from bagging area" alerts by reaching for the change she knows is soon to come out or simply just grabbing the items i've placed down.

We always use them in Big W, never at any grocery store though.

I don't mind the post office delays. Only one I dislike is passport applications & photos to go with it but that has only happened twice this year. That's a fair delay.

Mate, my daughter's exactly the same. I let her empty the basket or sit in the trolley and hand the stuff to me.

my brother recently ordered a item off ebay for his gf's birthday. after days and days of it not arriving i receive a sms from another forums member on here who i know quite well... she said she had a package for my brother.. i found it quite strange as my brother doesnt really know her too well. when the package was dropped off it clicked how it happened. well my brother lives on hilltop crt, and this other forum member lives on hillcrest crt, both the same suburb and the same house number. its by extreme freak coincidence that the package got delivered and she knew who it was for. she said she never had to sign anything (was ment to be registered post) and not even the same street and is about 20k's from each other.. if it had been any other person i dont think we would have had that package passed on.

i think its shithouse how aus post works, not only the delivery people but the way the stores are run as per original post.

like what are the chances of it getting sent to the wrong address and the person actually knowing the person its ment to be sent too..

much respect for the person on the forum who passed it on.
