Poll: Do you like using eftpos?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

On the busiest sale day for New Zealand retailers, one of the country’s largest department stores was turning customers away after its Eftpos system went down for hours before it was restored late afternoon.

Around midday on Boxing Day, employees of Hamilton’s Centre Place Farmers stood at the entrance and apologetically told shoppers they could either pay with cash, or they would have to look elsewhere.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Baker Tīrau has created what might be New Zealand's most luxurious, and expensive, take on a Kiwi classic steak and cheese pie and is auctioning it off for a good cause.

Made with wagyu beef, French red wine, the most expensive cheese he could get his hands on, and topped with 23-carat gold flakes, award-winning baker Shane Kearns is auctioning off his unique steak and cheese pie to raise funds for local volunteer fire-fighters.
