    @jegga apparently they believe that having staff standing around tasked with engaging with you is a cost effective (minimum wage) preventer of "wastage" i.e. if you came in with the intention of shoplifting you suddenly won't if some doofus says Welcome to Bunnings

    The herald is just phoning it on these days , this story is awful obviously but the ferald doesn’t even try to give a trace of giving a fuck and leaves the temperature in Fahrenheit which hasn’t been used here for 50 years .

    The weird thing is Bunnings decided recently to pay them a living wage and the service is actually worse now .

    Don't worry, there will still be a few morons who remark how hot it is. 25 or so in the capital today, 97 must be hot as FUCK !!!!

    …..and that story is devastating.

    @canefan It's a simple solution. I don't see the problem.

    Are they going to legislate against sauce on the top as well?

    Legislate? They're simply saying to all parties wishing to engage in the time old tradition of sausage sizzle fund raising to put the onions on the bottom to minimise the risk they'll fall out and people will slip.

    Why have you got to be so rational? It's a slow day on the Fern, can't you leave me to generate a little angst in peace? 😉

    ha, when I was about 5 or 6, I always used to be amazed at how hot it got in the US, and also used to think it was dumb that birds would fly south for the winter, given it would be colder when they flew south!

    It's so slow here I'm in pedant mode. For some reason everyone's wandered off to do other things rather than have me correct them.

    I can't be bothered with heading over to the political threads to get wound up. Apathy rules at the moment, just the way our current leaders like it

    Some of the plains Indians had people called Winkte who could live as a woman or a man , they’d often switch to a man when it looked like there was going to be a decent scrap . One who’s name escapes me now heard Custer was on his way switched back to being a bloke and distinguished himself as a warrior wiping out Custers seventh cavalry.

    I’d imagine they would look at whiny obnoxious snowflakes like that turd in the photo the same way a wolf looks at a chihuahua.

    "demand respect". How much of an obnoxious asshole do you have to be to demand people respect you because you made up a new gender for yourself.

    @mn5 luckily parliament doesnt have pressing issues to deal with and have the time and money to spend on these major problems NZ faces.

    To paraphrase Robert DeNiro in this boys life “ shit in one hand , demand respect in the other, see which one gets full first”.

    Have these sanctimonious fluffybunnies thought about the logical conclusion to doing away with societal norms and pretty much allowing people to act "how they feel most comfortable"? Or, and i know i am reaching here, are they thinking no further than their particular brand of fuckery, and how they are allowed to act?
