Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Be vigilant with mail

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are aware of a recent overseas rise in scams which involve an unexpected package being sent to addresses with a gift and a QR code inside. Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.

The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.

The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.

Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.

Box of plugs, adapters and cords

Chris from Johnsonville

Hi everyone
I have a large plastic container full of different plugs, adapters, and cords collected over the years. They are of no use to me, but I thought someone might be interested in them.

If you would like them, they are yours, to collect from Johnsonville. Send me a PM if you're keen

I'm hiring out my near-new drum kit to clear some space (and I'm busy with a project) for the next few months. I'm only charging $25 per week (roughly half of commercial rental), but you'll need to commit to the next three months at least. An automatic payment would be good. Let me know if you're interested. I can deliver and pick up for an extra $20 each way (from Monday 16 Sept). The kit is NOT for sale though. Cheers, Shaun
