So the Media's whingefest about paying surcharges has shot themselves in the foot.
They could have just paid cash 💸
Now, via their Servant in Anus ALP.
That cheaper alternative is gone.

The Media is the real blame and culprit behind all that is failing in this country and going cock-ups. Anus & the ALP are just doing its bidding.

I genuinely wonder about that sometimes. WK in particular always seems to be posting furiously about some random problem 6 months before labor implements some new scheme to 'fix' it.

Coffee at my local:

30 September $5.00 + $0.08 surcharge = $5.08
1 October $5.00 (no surcharge)
2 October $5.50 (new "Summer Menu" launched with new pricing due to "rising costs")


And, as they say - "that's just the tip of the iceberg".

The last time I ate out anywhere was about 20 months ago and I can guarantee it won't be happening again any time soon.


Yep. Who woudd thunk that shopkeepers would pass on costs.

Bingo!  Wink

How's it feel to have your country's Politics run by Television networks?
