And nothing stays the same.

Bruce from Napier South

There was a long time when at Napier Pac and Save buying some carrots in the self service section would trigger a security alert for the shop assistant to check out your honesty. Today it was buying some loose onions that triggered the security alert to be checked out for theft by misrepresentation by the shop assistant. It is probably best to be mildly amused at being suspected of being a thieve rather than irritated.
Any thoughts on this.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
