I don't think it's nitpicking, I think I'm saying the opposite of you. You seem to imply the the problem is that businesses don't trust…

No, you can shop at IGA. I'm happy to endure this massive abuse of my rights to continue to shop at the duopoly.

> All this is, are some of the physical manifestations of us progressing (regressing) from a high trust**worthy** society, to a low…

If I was losing $1m per year, I wouldn't hesitate to spend up to $1M pa on addressing the issue. To not do it would be bad business.…

I was required to check my water bottle into a "coat room" before entering a store. I had a choice to not shop there, and had no issues…

how did we get from store security to bedrooms?

I reckon a business has every right to take reasonable measures to protect their merchandise. I like this far more than watching people…

hmmm I had a REA ask me to not raise rent for I dunno how many years because the tenant had a terminal illness. Does that make the REA…

I understand that you can only get done by a red light camera if the light turns red before you enter the intersection. Am I wrong? I…

> There's nothing interesting in my social media. I think you misunderstood me. I have accounts for when I there is something in it for me.…

There's nothing interesting in my social media. I have an issue with this in principal, and it seems like a huge inconvenience, but if I…

If you have a mortgage, there is only one correct answer. All income goes into the offset account, and both partners have a card on that…

Don't worry about it. Paying off PPOR is amoung the best investments you can make. I wouldn't invest outside of PPOR and super unless super…

We've just got the Nitrided Black (paid $239.95 - never mind)... used twice.. first time with steak and came clean after a soak no probs.…

I love induction in theory, but I tend to lift the pan from the stovetop a lot: spreading oil around, stir frying etc, and the induction…

Yeah I hear you. I'm so glad I recently upgraded my laptop to get me through until I build a home PC. Now it might have to get me through a…

I'm putting off my build until RAM prices are reasonable. Prices doubled while waiting for black friday deals.

Thank you

I don't know who neg'd you, that seems like sound advice. I've been ripped off a few times, and wish I'd done something about it rather…

Well until they started taking details of who uses them, people were probably buying one giftcard and making copies. I'd say it was that…

You're not listening. The no PII option goes like this: you go to pay, someone else has already used that giftcard: you get your wallet out…

What info do you think they should hold? When you try to pay with the card, and get told someone has already used this card, do you want…

Oh is it thier own gift card? Then it seems like they've had issues with cards being presented more than once e.g. a scammer selling dups.…

If I were a business, I wouldn't want to accept gift cards. Seems like a reasonable compromise if you want to use gift cards and they don't…

Own. This was some time ago so don't know whether legally tenant paid for consumption back in the day, but iirc the adjudicator was so…

Not what happened with me. Landlord tried to claim for me to replace lawn. The adjudicator said not only do I not have to pay that, but I…

no, all the way up the chain they lied through their teeth supporting the guy who broke it. Saying they didn't test drive it, even though…

Cost me far more. First, they replaced the motor, then the chain assembly as well, and finally decided whole door needed to be replaced.

Nothing dirty here. You mistakenly assumed the money was to fix the door, but no, the money was compensation for damage caused. What the OP…

Yes, this is the way it should work. The adjudicator determines who is trying to rip off who and puts them in their place. My experience…
