Farmers Returns Policy has tightened up.
HI Folks,
Just letting you know that if you are like me and sometimes buy things at Farmers to 'check them at home and then take back what you don't actually want', Farmers in Hastings seem to have a new management policy. The docket still says 14 days to return as it always has. The part that has changed which is absolutely their right to do so is that the 'unwritten kindness' they have shown in the past no longer applies. I was a little surprised today to try and return something that was a little over the official return date to be told they are tightening up so I was unable to return it.
Absolutely understand, but as it is different to years worth of previous 'late returns by me' - thought I might let you know in case you need to know of the new 'tightening up'.
So pleased I have learnt my lesson on a single item that was on sale and not on a bag of things!! Phew!
This is not a grumble - I think the staff at Farmers are great!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
