"My lady, a bad asthmatic, has been keen to have groceries delivered, but this mornings delivery will be the last. 3 items canceled & refunded, out of stock, but available when ordered, 2 items simply missing, 3 substitutions, & fruit I will be throwing out untouched is too much for me. I'll take my chances at the super market & pick my own stuff."

A few of my friends get groceries delivered and they frequently complain of items substituted or missing.

Has anyone else noticed Kmart, BigW, Aldi and others are suffering a Chinese supply shortage. Bangladesh clothing is still okay with them, but is China cutting supply of toasters and flower pots to teach Aussie a lesson. As Confucius said; "You can't sell empty shelves!" or was the Bob the Builder who said that.

Australia's politicians, bureaucrats and business people have been selling the country out to China for the past 30 years and now we are paying the price for it as the CCP shows us the level of control it has over our society and economy and as I think Andrew Forrest showed over our politicians when he shoved Greg Hunt off to podium to make room for his CCP mate.

Hi Mr o,

Over 100 years ago, me old granny was teaching Chinese market gardeners English in the front room of her home, shocking as it was to the neighbours, those who would go to the Chinese gardens to buy cheap, good quality produce, much to the disgust of the local Aussie green grocer.

Give me a straight answer on this one. What do you prefer, chop suey and dim sum, or hamburgers and hot dogs? Don't say roo and wallaby steaks on a barbee caus they are strictly off the menu! Have been so for 40 years!

I think you may find a lot of shops that never open again in rented premises. Online shopping will get bigger and bigger albeit working out of suburban garages.
Pay pall is definitely the way to go as has-been for years.
There is no problems with online banking all transactions are recorded and stored for years. I have been doing online banking since 1990. If there is any transactions that are out of ordinary the bank will let you know pronto, as they are liable for false transactions.
These systems are not about to go away so get used to it.

I'm more a filet mignon and lobster man myself.
