Can no longer cash out more than $5k.

$5K, you high roller Trader

Buy in for $10k, cash out $6k and they say no!

Our local foodland has a "receptacle" for all used batteries. The button batteries are also very dangerous to young children as they often put them in their mouth and sometimes swallow.

just because they have a collection point that states its for recycling, doesnt mean that they actually get recycled

I'm guessing she lives alone and has no man in her life...

Went into Dan Murphys with my 20 year old daughter, I walked straight in, grabbed a bottle of gin and walked to the counter.

Upon serving me the attendant asked my daughter for ID, I waited until my transaction had gone through and then asked why did they ask her when she clearly had nothing with her.

“Company policy” was the reply as they pointed at their “25” badge.

I asked “what if I was pushing a pram?” To which they had no response to.

I had similar when working at the Aquadome in Elizabeth. Pools adhere to the government Watch Around Water policy which says any children 3 and under must be accompanied and supervised in the water by someone 16 years or older.

Girl looking very very young came in with an infant, asked her how old she was and she replied 15, I say sorry you can’t come in with the baby we need some over over 16…..her response…’but I’m the mother’.

We decided it was in our best interests to let her in haha….she breast fed the child so she definitely was the mother haha

They do it because it looks like you are buying for the daughter

But great comeback

Naw, it would have looked like he was buying for the daughter if he was purchasing anything with "breezer" or "spritzer" printed on the can.

I was in the shop for less than a minute, I knew what I wanted and knew exactly where it was, I didn’t even say anything to my daughter.

I actually ended up letting loose on my thoughts, the pram comment was my opener.

So if she was only 17 they wouldn’t have served me? Shouldn’t be allowed in the shop if that was the case.

My response as I was grabbing my ID 'you're joking aren't you? Do I really look under 25?
