Lucy Zelic.

I don't get what people see in her. She's like a 6 and the way she over pronounces people's names irks the shit out of me.

Her football punditry is atrocious. It is generic and lacks detailed analysis

Bring back Mel

HeartFc · July 6, 2014

Anyone see her and ned bickering over trivial shit a few weeks ago? SBS never put em on together again. Lol.

Nate · July 6, 2014

Mel was the best

I mean sure, she fucked up what she was saying at least once every few sentences but that just made her even better tbh.

bt50 · July 6, 2014

I find her stunning tho. I know she's not your average hot bird, but something about Lucy makes me want to rub it raw!

There's something about that elongated neck that makes me want to do a Brian Lake.

Self serve check-out lanes at woolworths

This. No need for human interaction. And I like how you specified woolworths, as there self checkout is far superior to Coles for a few reasons:

So simple if you just want to withdraw money and not do any shopping, withdraw cash option available on the first screen, don't know if you can even jut withdraw money without shopping on the Coles ones

Paying by card is easier, you just click 'card' rather than having to select credit or debit like at Coles, then the rest is handled by the card machine which is the correct way to do things.

They ask you if you want to print a receipt, rather than just printing it like the Coles self checkout does.

Etc.

I like for convenience of them as well and as back as 1999 when I worked at Coles as a kid I would use Supermarket Checkouts to withdraw exact amounts (Like $38.70 for example) and to not pay ATM fees.

However what I don't like about these lanes is how dodgy kents use and abuse them to steal petty items of food which ultimately just affects the price of groceries for the rest of us who are not thieves.

FWIW, given the duopoly that exists, the effect on prices from people stealing wouldn't be much, the store would end up taking most of the hit.

Still doesn't matter - Having worked at Coles for five years throughout School and Uni I have an in built dislike towards these scummy kents who steal from Supermarkets.

Then there is of course also my well known dislike towards frugal cheap kents in general which developed strongly during my time serving people at Coles who would follow the Girl with the Discount Sticker Gun around the store for half an hour to save $4 bucks.

I'm not a fan really.

Why should we pay the same amount to put our own groceries through?

Especially when the savings aren't being passed on because kents keep putting through steaks and other expensive shit as loose brown onions :hmm:

edit- The one good thing about them is the absence of guilt felt when paying with shrapnel.

A loose brown onion is probably just as enjoyable as a Woolworths steak to be fair

What about a Masters Choc Honeycomb Super Shake?

Why should we have to pay less for an item just because we bag it ourselves? If that's the case i should get money off my next car service because i dropped the car there. Heaven forbid having to scan some items yourself, such a challenging job that is :rolleyes: I'd rather bag my own groceries then let some bloke behind a counter who doesn't give a fuck about his job stack them like shit.

As to your second point you're always going to have people who cheat the system, i know at woolworths they have people literally standing there at the machines so if people are cheating the system it's that persons fault for not doing their job properly. Surely a quick glance at a persons screen can solve that?

AyeCee · July 18, 2014

Fwiw, I've been told from a pretty high figure from woolies in Vic that the losses from people cheating through the self-check out is hardly a worry of theirs at this point in time. Very little impact on their figures apparently.

1. Your analogy about getting your car serviced makes no sense - In fact it worries me that someone who can drive (As in a legal adult) came up with such an analogy.

2. Often the person monitoring the Self Service Checkout is a teenager who is too scared/or feels to awkward to make sure PPL are not stealing.

1) Agreed. People who can't come up with good car analogies can't drive :droy: Whilst it wasn't the best analogy i was trying to say that just because you have to do a little bit more work as in packing your groceries doesn't mean you deserve a discount of them.

2) What a cop out. Whilst you're not going to catch every cunt stealing have some balls and try and pull some people up on it. Sorry if it's a bit 'awkward' it's called doing your job.

marteaux · July 18, 2014

The costs of thefts are largely offset by the need for manned checkouts being decreased thus needing less staff.

so steal away cunts
