Reminder to check your receipts
Wife went to Chemist Warehouse, Botany to pick up prescriptions. When she got given them she checked them off against the receipt. One item was missing but receipt said it was issued. When she asked about it, they said it was out of stock and they'll owe her. She asked about the incorrect receipt and got told it was just their system and not to worry. Wife did worry and wouldn't let it go and got them to amend the receipt showing the allegedly issued medication as 'owing'.
According to the original receipt she was issued with prescribed medication when in reality she hadn't. Have a safe summer.

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