Who, exactly, do you think is struggling in this scenario and who, exactly, do you think I want to dehumanise?
What an absolutely sht take. People that are already struggling and you want to dehumanise them more.
.perhaps you would happily pay full price for a inferior product which was not that was advertised, bend over on the way out and say thank you.. but all I did is nicely enquire and was given attitude to which I replied with the same calibre tone. Yep important lesson for my kids how the world works and not to be walked over, not to confuse with walking over others
here we go again ?.
"all I did is nicely enquire" lol, buddy, lucky she didn't call the cops on you. You underpaid and left.
"Oh sorry officer, I didn't like the way she responded to me"
An elderly person who has had an accident (and this is what's actually happening) young people getting on the phone refusing to clean them. Now they are actually paid to shower them. But to call up in front of them is.... well its dehumanising. And this is basically what's being touted around like it's some idiot philosophy like the yolo trend.Who, exactly, do you think is struggling in this scenario and who, exactly, do you think I want to dehumanise?
Not you. The qq trend. It was the actual way the kid was telling my friend how he would handle it. I was shocked. And I'm a lazy mofo., do you think I want to dehumanise?
the ones that do that little extra , often find a way to earn an extra ( legal ) dollar on the way .Not you. The qq trend. It was the actual way the kid was telling my friend how he would handle it. I was shocked. And I'm a lazy mofo.
the ( Chinese ) festive season starts soon take careChina is back to buying up our resources and Chinese tourism is supposedly coming back. So we are going to be in this weird zone still
Pubs might start and feel the squeeze, as another tax increase hits.
I'm getting the feeling over the bar prices are starting to bite the bar flies, I know the 4% increase last August, caused a bit of a reaction at my local.
I think if I owned a marginal pub, I would be looking for the exits, another 4% might be the straw that breaks the camels back.?
Maybe there will be an increase in foot traffic, for BWS, Dan Murphy's, First Choice etc.
The price of beer is set to rise yet again, with the tax raised by the ATO.
From February 1, the price of an average schooner could be $12, with the excise increasing by 3.7 per cent.
The tax on beer is tied to inflation, and rises every six months.
And with the consumer price index rising 7.8 per cent over the last year, it means a larger than usual jump in the tax.
That includes beer sold on tap at the pub and in cartons at the bottle shop.
The current taxes mean Australians pay more in beer tax than every other nation, save for Japan, Finland and Norway.
The Brewers Association is now lobbying Treasurer Jim Chalmers to put a two-year freeze on tax increases.
I was at the rsl few days ago, haven't been since covid. Place emptied out by 11 30 pm never seen it so quiet and dead, no drunks angrily massaging the pokies buttons after midnight like in good old days ? Here I thought alcohol and gambling is supposed to increase in a recession ?Pubs might start and feel the squeeze, as another tax increase hits.

Yes, that's why I mentioned marginal ones, the ones that don't serve anything other than beer.Good pubs don’t rely on beer profits anymore. Good meals, and then entertainment opens the wallets.
In W.A we don't have the pokies, so the pubs tend to be either drinks only, or as @JohnDe mention drinks/meals.I was at the rsl few days ago, haven't been since covid. Place emptied out by 11 30 pm never seen it so quiet and dead, no drunks angrily massaging the pokies buttons after midnight like in good old days ?

These days I only go to a pub that has Guinness on tap and decent food for a reasonable price.Yes, that's why I mentioned marginal ones, the ones that don't serve anything other than beer.
As you say the more up market ones cater to a different clientele and aren't as exposed to the increased drink cost, as the mark up on food is quite good.

Pint sized man. ?What sort of man only drinks schooners?
Trouble is the land is too prime. One of the pubs near me has just been closed to build apartments. Waterloo Cup Hotel.Good pubs don’t rely on beer profits anymore. Good meals, and then entertainment opens the wallets.
