WEBVTT - Best Bits: $28 FOR WEDGES?!

0:00:00.150 --> 0:00:03.300
<v Speaker 1>Ricky Lee and Tim on Nova. What do you refuse

0:00:03.340 --> 0:00:05.260
<v Speaker 1>to pay for? I've got another one. Okay. Parking in

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the city.

0:00:06.660 --> 0:00:06.780
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Like, I can't do it. It's so expensive.

0:00:09.619 --> 0:00:11.270
<v Speaker 3>So, what do you do instead of parking in the city?

0:00:11.289 --> 0:00:12.830
<v Speaker 1>I just Uber there or train. Okay.

0:00:13.090 --> 0:00:14.130
<v Speaker 4>Like, if I have to be in the city for

0:00:14.150 --> 0:00:16.650
<v Speaker 4>an appointment, it's cheaper for me to Uber from my house.

0:00:16.860 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Both ways.

0:00:18.100 --> 0:00:18.660
<v Speaker 3>Than to park there.

0:00:18.700 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Than to park there for an hour.

0:00:19.940 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, that's the thing, right?

0:00:21.220 --> 0:00:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Like CosiLives is a real thing and people are having

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.410
<v Speaker 2>to choose what they're going to spend their money on.

0:00:26.770 --> 0:00:29.770
<v Speaker 2>And it's a really real thing and so many people

0:00:29.790 --> 0:00:33.950
<v Speaker 2>are struggling. So when parking is just an outrageous price

0:00:33.970 --> 0:00:36.349
<v Speaker 2>or when you know, say, at the shops there's specials

0:00:36.470 --> 0:00:38.670
<v Speaker 2>on for your olive oil, I'm not paying $.

0:00:38.430 --> 0:00:38.850
<v Speaker 3>45 for it.

0:00:38.970 --> 0:00:39.770
<v Speaker 1>Olive oil is so funny.

0:00:40.210 --> 0:00:43.379
<v Speaker 3>No, it really annoys me because if that's the– like

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:44.019
<v Speaker 3>it just annoys me.

0:00:44.060 --> 0:00:45.959
<v Speaker 2>But the reason we're talking about it is because there's

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.900
<v Speaker 2>a fish and chip shop That's in a little bit

0:00:47.940 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>of trouble. They're sparking a bit of controversy online. It's

0:00:52.020 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>a Northern Sydney fish and chip shop for selling large wedges.

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Have a guess how much.

0:00:58.780 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>A large bag of wedges. Yeah. It's like 15 bucks.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>I would say that's okay.

0:01:06.330 --> 0:01:10.010
<v Speaker 1>Firstly, wedges can take a high. I know. If chips

0:01:10.050 --> 0:01:11.830
<v Speaker 1>are an option, I'm not eating a wedge.

0:01:13.390 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Put aside your feelings on the wedges.

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>I take good.

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:16.340
<v Speaker 1>$ 15, right?

0:01:16.580 --> 0:01:17.740
<v Speaker 3>It's a big hearty meal for some.

0:01:17.740 --> 0:01:21.740
<v Speaker 4>$ 28.

0:01:19.740 --> 0:01:25.259
<v Speaker 2>$ 28. $ 28 just for wedges.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>For a big bag of wedges. Yeah.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.100
<v Speaker 3>So people are kind of slamming them and I get it.

0:01:29.100 --> 0:01:30.020
<v Speaker 1>That's fair. Cozy lives.

0:01:30.459 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I understand why people are freaking out about it. The

0:01:32.980 --> 0:01:36.110
<v Speaker 2>owner of a Brisbane restaurant has kind of come to

0:01:36.130 --> 0:01:38.130
<v Speaker 2>the defense of the fish and chip shop saying cost

0:01:38.150 --> 0:01:41.050
<v Speaker 2>of living pressures are also forcing business owners to increase

0:01:41.090 --> 0:01:42.910
<v Speaker 2>their prices for very little profit.

0:01:43.050 --> 0:01:43.370
<v Speaker 1>Of course.

0:01:43.390 --> 0:01:44.750
<v Speaker 3>Which is also understandable.

0:01:45.670 --> 0:01:47.530
<v Speaker 2>And gone are the days when we can, you know,

0:01:47.550 --> 0:01:48.910
<v Speaker 2>remember when we used to go to the fish and

0:01:48.930 --> 0:01:50.970
<v Speaker 2>chip shop and you get, it's like five bucks and

0:01:50.990 --> 0:01:53.330
<v Speaker 2>you get like a huge like newspaper.

0:01:52.870 --> 0:01:53.630
<v Speaker 3>Wrapped thing of like chips.

0:01:53.650 --> 0:01:55.230
<v Speaker 1>Minimum chips. Remember minimum chips?

0:01:55.390 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was amazing.

0:01:55.890 --> 0:01:56.450
<v Speaker 1>Min chips.

0:01:56.580 --> 0:01:59.790
<v Speaker 3>So much fun. And, you know, inflation, we get it.

0:01:59.920 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 3>All of the things.

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.890
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but just because your power and rent and. Staff

0:02:04.930 --> 0:02:07.130
<v Speaker 1>wages are going up. Yeah. I'm not paying $ 28 for

0:02:07.150 --> 0:02:08.290
<v Speaker 1>wages just to help you out.

0:02:08.550 --> 0:02:12.070
<v Speaker 3>But that's where, like, people then.

0:02:12.090 --> 0:02:14.410
<v Speaker 2>It just forces people to choose what they're going to

0:02:14.430 --> 0:02:15.290
<v Speaker 2>spend their money on, right?

0:02:15.310 --> 0:02:16.670
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I don't like paying for things I

0:02:16.710 --> 0:02:19.340
<v Speaker 4>can't see. That's why, like, parking is a tough one.

0:02:19.350 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, like, things that aren't tangible.

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:21.630
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean, when.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, olive oil is the same. It's like that disappears

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:25.299
<v Speaker 1>in your food.

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.810
<v Speaker 3>It disappears in my food. I don't even taste it.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't even see it. I can't even see it.

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:29.070
<v Speaker 1>I don't even need it.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it does help. It does help make the food,

0:02:31.460 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, not stick to the pan. But also, I remember.

0:02:34.660 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 2>For a long time, we stopped getting fish and chips

0:02:37.740 --> 0:02:40.180
<v Speaker 2>because I was just outraged at how expensive it was

0:02:40.340 --> 0:02:41.839
<v Speaker 2>when we were living out in the Northern Beaches.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's fair. Northern Beaches fish and chips are expensive.

0:02:44.660 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>It was something like $ 45 for a small little.

0:02:49.380 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Fish and chips.

0:02:51.220 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's me. I was just like, it's just not

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.210
<v Speaker 2>worth it. I could go to a nice restaurant and

0:02:55.250 --> 0:02:58.070
<v Speaker 2>have a lovely main meal for that. It just didn't

0:02:58.110 --> 0:03:01.130
<v Speaker 2>quite make sense. And I don't want to not support businesses.

0:03:01.570 --> 0:03:03.890
<v Speaker 2>My favourite fish and chip shop now, down in Rose Bay.

0:03:04.370 --> 0:03:06.989
<v Speaker 3>Fish at the Bay? Incredible. Incredible.

0:03:07.010 --> 0:03:08.630
<v Speaker 1>That wouldn't be cheap there either, would it?

0:03:08.810 --> 0:03:09.630
<v Speaker 3>It's not expensive.

0:03:09.650 --> 0:03:11.730
<v Speaker 1>What about your other favorite joint, Lake Como or St.

0:03:11.750 --> 0:03:12.010
<v Speaker 2>Barts?

0:03:12.030 --> 0:03:12.430
<v Speaker 3>I love Lake Como.

0:03:12.450 --> 0:03:14.130
<v Speaker 1>What about the fish and chips at St. Barts and

0:03:14.150 --> 0:03:15.709
<v Speaker 1>Lake Como? Sydney to St.

0:03:15.730 --> 0:03:17.210
<v Speaker 3>Barts. Shut up.

0:03:17.650 --> 0:03:20.970
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, we want to know, what do you refuse to

0:03:21.010 --> 0:03:22.930
<v Speaker 2>pay for? Because people are refusing to pay for these

0:03:22.970 --> 0:03:25.549
<v Speaker 2>fish and chips at these high, high prices.

0:03:25.550 --> 0:03:27.210
<v Speaker 1>13, 24, 10. I'm really putting off my power bill

0:03:27.230 --> 0:03:29.410
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. Almost refusing to pay for that. I

0:03:29.430 --> 0:03:30.150
<v Speaker 1>may have to do that.

0:03:30.169 --> 0:03:31.950
<v Speaker 3>Does your power bill make fun of you with the

0:03:31.990 --> 0:03:33.250
<v Speaker 3>amount of people on the.

0:03:33.050 --> 0:03:34.770
<v Speaker 1>Little bill thing? No, because I don't leave things running

0:03:34.810 --> 0:03:35.710
<v Speaker 1>like you. Oh, okay.

0:03:37.340 --> 0:03:39.790
<v Speaker 3>Mine is mocking me. Mine thinks I've got like a

0:03:39.830 --> 0:03:41.610
<v Speaker 3>family of 10 living in my house. It's just the

0:03:41.650 --> 0:03:42.130
<v Speaker 3>two of us.

0:03:42.430 --> 0:03:45.250
<v Speaker 4>Jenny, good morning to you and Amy Plains. What are

0:03:45.310 --> 0:03:47.660
<v Speaker 4>you saying? No, I'm not paying for it.

0:03:47.710 --> 0:03:48.250
<v Speaker 1>Refusing.

0:03:50.630 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Water.

0:03:52.460 --> 0:03:52.780
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:03:53.500 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Like at a restaurant?

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, at a restaurant, they give you water on the table.

0:03:58.860 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 3>They want you to pay for it.

0:04:00.380 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 4>But I really hate paying for bottled water as well.

0:04:03.660 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:04.100 --> 0:04:05.310
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a weird thing about that.

0:04:05.730 --> 0:04:08.090
<v Speaker 2>And also, depending on where you buy it, a bottle

0:04:08.130 --> 0:04:12.890
<v Speaker 2>of water can sometimes cost you like $ 10.

0:04:11.670 --> 0:04:14.089
<v Speaker 1>$ 12.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.030
<v Speaker 2>If you go to the Easter show, it's like $ 6

0:04:14.970 --> 0:04:15.910
<v Speaker 2>for a bottle of water.

0:04:16.170 --> 0:04:16.690
<v Speaker 3>It's insane.

0:04:16.710 --> 0:04:17.870
<v Speaker 1>You've got to take a bottle of water to the

0:04:17.930 --> 0:04:18.890
<v Speaker 1>Easter show. That's fair.

0:04:19.029 --> 0:04:20.270
<v Speaker 3>Or do they not let you take it in?

0:04:20.290 --> 0:04:21.870
<v Speaker 1>Of course, no, they do. They do? Yeah, you can

0:04:21.890 --> 0:04:22.890
<v Speaker 1>take a big backpack of stuff.

0:04:23.130 --> 0:04:25.570
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm with you, Jenny, like at a restaurant when

0:04:25.589 --> 0:04:26.530
<v Speaker 3>they come to the table.

0:04:26.550 --> 0:04:28.349
<v Speaker 1>I always tap water. I'm never going to drink it anyway.

0:04:28.410 --> 0:04:31.470
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, still sparkling, and I always say tap because I'm

0:04:31.490 --> 0:04:31.669
<v Speaker 3>with you.

0:04:31.690 --> 0:04:33.250
<v Speaker 4>I always say tap because I'm not drinking it.

0:04:33.470 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're not drinking the water. You're drinking 78 martinis.

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.219
<v Speaker 1>Ricky Lee and Tim on Nova.
