are you kidding? twenty years ago if there were 20 tellers, 15 staff would be employed to man them. Today if there are 20 tellers, 3 are manned at most and the rest are pushed through to self serve.

You realise that there is a REASON why shops are turning towards self serve right?

The reason is that customers do not really want to wait in line to be served by either one of the 15 or 3 tellers to have their groceries checked out. I do not know what parallel universe you live, but in this universe, people do not like to be idle. How many times have you walked in somewhere and found that the lines are so long that you do not want to wait around to be served. You go somewhere else to be served.

That is the issue. Efficiency of serving customers quickly will improve customer relations. If you want to wait in line for any number from 3 to 15 tellers to get to you to checkout your $200 worth of groceries, I have no issue. But, us 10 items or less people are going through the self-serve checkouts. We are really doing YOU a favour.

I would wait in line at the bank to transfer money from one account to another. 5 minutes (usually minimum) in line waiting for other people to do their banking before I get served. An employee told me that I should just use the ATM to do the money transfers. No more waiting in line. And banks can get more done.

I guess if teleportation was invented -- point to point -- you would not use that because suburban trains, bus and taxi drivers would get downsized.

See that highlighted bit? That's a lie! 20 years ago did NOT pay the mortgage and bills. Nope that is a shocking lie!

You'd be stupid and naive to believe John Abo Smith who has never had a mortgage in his life and has been unemployed and living off benefits and in Aboriginal Housing for most of his dole bludging existence.

20 years ago ... both parents needed to work and indeed we ( my ex husband and I did just that ).

And childcare was bloody impossible and very expensive too.

I was personally caught up in that nightmare trying to get back into the workforce after getting married and having gone on maternity leave.

20 years ago we had a mortgage of 400 K back then and needed a double income as we had 2 babies on the scene.

It was terribly challenging jumping back into my HR career as my CV was considered "stale" for having had my twins and taking a few years off. So for REPLENISHING Australia's future workforce (which is economically important for Australia) I found my Uni degree/s from reputable Universities and prior work experience....suddenly meant nothing. As far as potential employers were concerned...my  resume had gone stale and those years were considered NON PRODUCTIVE because I had been REPRODUCTIVE. I persevered within that type of context and my persistence eventually paid off.

^^^ That was the reality of buying and owning property 20 years back. In Sydney!

Hang on .... how come you've not been able to get a full time job for 21 years? Aren't you around 40 yrs old anyway?

I personally do not know of anyone (offline) who has been unemployed for 21 years.

Good luck with relying on an inheritance for owning a home. You might find that the house in question will be required to be sold off to cover the cost of an aged care facility. Of course this is only if the current owner needs an aged care facility.

Now .... please bring the fake multi shared nic Jim Lahey out please. It makes me laugh watching the various unemployed dole bludging cyber junkie trolls from Drunk's Dump jumping up and down after my every post 😂🤣😆

Actually it absolutely delights my heart knowing that I have ardent admirers in some 4 MEN who jump into a fake id trying to PM me every day as Jim Lackey only to be ignored. And just knowing I have 4 MEN on standby day and night refreshing their screens every minute waiting to see if I've posted.

No other female on OzPol has ever managed to keep 4 unhinged male cyber junkie nutters off the street and keep them superglued to their squalid cyber junkie urinated chairs. And that makes my day! 😂🤣😆

thats because you buy a lot of processed, pre made and pre packaged crap.

as for the rest of your crap,  ... it's well, crap. $50k is enough to pay all that in Rocky, but it's not even enough to pay just the rent in Melbourne or Sydney.

Well, I must admit that for the previous 6 months (ending in February this year) I was averaging $100 a week in booze and colas per week. Added to the fact that I earn about $400 per week from work and get about $300 per fortnight from Centrelink, even wasting money on booze (and the usual hangover cure from eating a junk food meal), I can still afford to spend $200 per fortnight on groceries and rent. Yes, my rent is cheap. But you should be able to afford rent and food in cities, too, earning $50,000 a year. Are you spending more than $300 a week on rent?
