All About Respect!!!

Marie from Flaxmere

Cashiers are in the bathroom bawling because they are getting called names and threatened over limitations
Cashiers are calling out of work because they can't take anymore
Cashiers are quitting because they are not appreciated for putting their health, and their families health in jeopardy to make sure you and your family are fed
Teenage cashiers are watching all of you "adults" panic and they are getting scared
Cashiers are watching you all leave with heaping, hoarded buggy fulls only to find empty shelves when they get off work to do their shopping
Cashiers are working non stop, with back, feet, leg and more pain to cover for the ones that you have already ran off
Cashiers are coming into contact with too many people because you are coming in for nonsense and bringing the whole family with you for a field trip
Cashiers are getting coughed on and people insist on getting too close. They are risking their health to serve you.
What are you going to do when they all stop coming in and the store can't open for you at all?
Will you still scream and cuss at them because you can't clear the shelves?
One man finally apologized after I went to speak to him for screaming at a 17 year old and his excuse was "I'm having a bad day". Guess what, THEY ARE TOO.
YOU NEED THESE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. Please act like you appreciate what they are doing. What if it was your child getting cussed and yelled at when they went to work?
It's already starting. They are not coming into work because of you. These limitations had to be put into place because people didn't act right. Start acting right before we don't have workers willing to be there to serve you and we can't have anything open at all.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
