It's in your award, you signed it, do you really think they pay you an hourly rate that does not allow for time off, so every 2 weeks you could collect the dole for the week off, well you are unemployed?
No, you are paid for a week off in your 2 week on contract, so

YOU SHUSH UP

Ask them if you can have a 2/3rd dose, because you are sitting at home for 1/3rd of the time!.....

They don't give you much time when vaccine supplies can be on the short list in certain areas.

Websites that proudly proclaim "FREE SHIPPING" in bold red lettering at the top of each page, then when you proceed to the checkout and enter your address, they add a $33.50 shipping fee because I'm in another state.

Fine, I understand that it costs extra to send something further, but don't falsely advertise something that doesn't apply to all customers. Needless to say, I went elsewhere to spend my $300!

It's misleading. If it had a Ts & Cs apply you can be informed and read them.

First day back at work today. I forgot that they changed office restrictions and forgot to ring my boss last night to check if I can come into the office.

I ring him up this morning and no answer. So I got dressed up and then he calls me right before I leave and nope have to WFH. At least he got me before because it is a 60km round trip

Log on and check emails and yep cluster**** while I'm away. Same ****, different year

These home shopping Woolies people with trolleys pushing past everyone while you're trying to navigate the aisles. Its bad enough sometimes in normal busy situations and social distancing without now having these little green trolley people blocking your path.

This morning, I was heading for the coleslaw. I could see 3 left when this trolley dolly blocked my path and ended up taking all 3 before me. FFS.

When i went to the bottlo today, so it may sound odd, but its the only place i know that has rat tests in stock. I wasnt there for that. So i went into the cool room to grab a case. Was second in line at the checkout. So they charge 25 for rat tests, dunno if thats price gouging or not, but limit is 5 per person. But man alive. The people in front were being argumentative because they wanted all the rat tests but cheaper then $25 a pop. So it was 2 persons, so 5 each = 10. But the cheapskates left with 4 each. That wasted 7 minutes of my life with their attempted bartering. Getting my carton scanned and tapping my card took 15 seconds.

I can understand you frustration, at least you can work from home in safety. While I work outdoors, traditional retailing can't be done from home so I feel very exposed at the moment.

What I'm hating at the moment is the blase attitude to Covid now and the complete lack of regard for my personal space. I DON'T NEED to see a pic on your phone, and I DON'T NEED you shoving your phone in my face to see it. I DON'T NEED you to stand 10mm from me!
