Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.
Speaker 2: I'd be.
Speaker 3: This might surprise no one. I don't cry when I
Speaker 3: chop onions. Yeah it's weird, isn't it. It doesn't affect me
Speaker 3: at all, Not at all. I don't quite know why
Speaker 3: that is. So there we go. Never quite weird. Now
Speaker 3: what the big deal was? I've seen people wearing snare
Speaker 3: calls and all sorts of stuff. But you're not a
Speaker 3: problem for me, never has been a problem. I don't
Speaker 3: know if I should be in the medical textbooks. Maybe
Speaker 3: I will be one day. How I am Marcus till midnight?
Speaker 3: Habit's good? Were your habit? It's better by midnight tonight,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty day. A few breaking news stories
Speaker 3: happening tonight. A few things we will keep our eyes on, however,
Speaker 3: two Way Street looking for you and put tonight. There
Speaker 3: will be some things I'll I'll be mentioning to be
Speaker 3: some things you'll be mentioning. There'll be some things. Will
Speaker 3: all be mentioning what I thought i'd start without tonight.
Speaker 3: How are we feeling? How long self checkout been around?
Speaker 3: Has it been ten years? How long has it been around.
Speaker 4: I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling about it? First and foremost, when
Speaker 3: did it start? Will be eight years? Could someone tell
Speaker 3: me the answer to that? And how are people feeling
Speaker 3: about it? Because what happened so often these days is
Speaker 3: they're actually trying to police it. So you scan something right,
Speaker 3: and then they come and say, oh, hang on it,
Speaker 3: let me do that. And they've got to swipe their
Speaker 3: cart around the short land yard and then type things
Speaker 3: and you're there for hours. Then of course I went
Speaker 3: to buy a battery, a tonguey little battery like free
Speaker 3: hearing aid. But it wasn't for hearing aid. It was
Speaker 3: for scales. And don't worry, I'm not weighing what I eat.
Speaker 3: I had to weigh some stop food. So I went
Speaker 3: to buy a battery. There'll be a sign of a
Speaker 3: ten cent piece? Do we still have those? Should we
Speaker 3: change the current to be happy with tencent pieces? Even
Speaker 3: the size of a twent piece? We still have those?
Speaker 3: It'd be small, the biggest of the batteries, the biggest
Speaker 3: of those tiny batteries, but small compared with greencent piece.
Speaker 3: And I scanned it and I put it down and
Speaker 3: then it said item not detected because it weighed such
Speaker 3: a little amount. So I put my cell phone down
Speaker 3: and that was fine. Then it said please pay, and
Speaker 3: I use my cell phone to pay, and I couldn't
Speaker 3: got stuck down there. Once I removed the cell phone
Speaker 3: to pay, it said I to remove from bagging area.
Speaker 3: You can't win. I thought, you can't win. The other
Speaker 3: thing that happened for me today, Goodness, gracious me, I had.
Speaker 4: One of those things.
Speaker 3: I had to call her number four and they said
Speaker 3: you can hold, and I hailed for twenty eight minutes. No,
Speaker 3: I didn't complain about that because I realized that's about
Speaker 3: an industry standard these days. And then when I started
Speaker 3: talking to the person, they couldn't hear me because my
Speaker 3: cell phone's not fantastic. The screens of it broken and
Speaker 3: it had gone on mute or something like that. I
Speaker 3: couldn't get out of it and it just seized. So
Speaker 3: then I rang them back and they said this time
Speaker 3: was up to thirty five minutes. However, they I pushed
Speaker 3: a button and said that call me back right. However,
Speaker 3: I've changed my cell phone so any number that's done
Speaker 3: knowing goes straight to answer phone, and that way I
Speaker 3: don't get the idiots trying to sell me bitcoin. So anyway,
Speaker 3: so I'm waiting for this phone call back from the
Speaker 3: company to my advantage, and I'm gonna panic for thirty
Speaker 3: two minutes because I don't know how to change the
Speaker 3: phone so it will ring. Google it up and do
Speaker 3: all sort of things and go on Reddit threads, and
Speaker 3: in the end, by the way, I did manage to
Speaker 3: fix it and felt quite proud of myself. So actually,
Speaker 3: when the phone rang, it rang properly. What's all that about?
Speaker 3: What that is is about the technology? But yeah, that
Speaker 3: I reckon.
Speaker 4: I reckon.
Speaker 3: Now the supermarkets now are vetting so many products you scan,
Speaker 3: they themselves must be having a lot of leakage. Now,
Speaker 3: I'm not someone that's anyway. I'm not someone that's ever
Speaker 3: knowingly stolen from a self checkout. I've never put anything
Speaker 3: through as the wrong item. I've never scanned something through
Speaker 3: knowing it was a passion fruit and putting it through
Speaker 3: as a potato. I've never done anything like that. That's
Speaker 3: not the way I go. I'm not a scammer, but boy,
Speaker 3: oh boy, plenty of people do. But just wonder where
Speaker 3: you are. Firstly, how long self Checkout's been around, and
Speaker 3: if you're sick of it, because I used to speak
Speaker 3: the supermarket to sick of it, I reckon it's caused
Speaker 3: them a lot of leak, and that's not a bad thing.
Speaker 3: They probably should put people back there to scan insonly,
Speaker 3: if it's just for one or two things. I quite
Speaker 3: like it. I like the in and out without the
Speaker 3: small talk. But I wonder how you feel about it,
Speaker 3: because I reckon it's here to start, just wondering how
Speaker 3: you are with self chick out?
Speaker 4: How long has it been around and how are you
Speaker 4: with it?
Speaker 3: Let's just put it like that good bad, thumbs up,
Speaker 3: thumbs down, hate it? Some of you are no like
Speaker 3: the chit chat not so much for me. For me,
Speaker 3: chit chat's like work. I don't like the vouchers. I'm
Speaker 3: onto the smeg knives or anything like that.
Speaker 4: Where was it? Where's self checkout?
Speaker 3: So if people like it or hate it, Marcus, I'm
Speaker 3: the same, never thought about until you mention it. Chopped
Speaker 3: onions tonight, No tears, Never tears for me, Marcus. The
Speaker 3: self checkout is also when you have small amount of items.
Speaker 3: Instead of waiting mind Marge of three kids for ten minutes,
Speaker 3: you can whizz through and be gone. Well it used
Speaker 3: to be that way, but now every time there's a hussle,
Speaker 3: every time there's summer, and they always come over to
Speaker 3: you in a patronizing way, like you've done something wrong, Marcus,
Speaker 3: self checkout. It's been around for at least twenty years,
Speaker 3: started before I left Pottino a full of vin. Peter
Speaker 3: from Levin used to be Peter from Pottingua. Marcus, it
Speaker 3: depends what you're in area, and peck and save. Potta
Speaker 3: checks all those features and all bakery items. And people
Speaker 3: stand in the queue waiting for no reason. There's a
Speaker 3: light above the checkout green means go, Marcus. Bitcoin is
Speaker 3: not for idiots. What about that guy in New York
Speaker 3: have got hung outside his high apartment and tortured for
Speaker 3: two weeks for his codes? And what about that guy
Speaker 3: whose girlfriend throwing the bitcoin out in the dump and
Speaker 3: can't get it back. It's not safe. It's all good
Speaker 3: and proper if you've got all stored properly. But that
Speaker 3: seems to be the rarity. Start the pool rolling tonight,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty eight. Come on to a re
Speaker 3: quick poll. You like it or you hate it. You're
Speaker 3: finally sick of it self check out? I reckon we
Speaker 3: could probably start a movement.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what people are feeling about this one,
Speaker 3: So let me know if you I want to make
Speaker 3: an opinion, if you want to comment, Oh, eight hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to text.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's been around twenty years. It's been
Speaker 3: around longer than bitcoin, I wouldn't think, So come on,
Speaker 3: yay or nay to self check out? Are you finally
Speaker 3: sick of it? Because I kin'd of tempted that. I
Speaker 3: think probably that I am, And I know the supermarkets
Speaker 3: are because more and more times now you're going either
Speaker 3: going to wete something or they're.
Speaker 4: Going to ask you or look in your bags.
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, well, if you if you're gonna make
Speaker 3: us check out, you've lost that privilege of checking my items.
Speaker 3: That's my take on that one. I love hate it
Speaker 3: depends on how the items I want. By the way,
Speaker 3: peck and save morehouses. Christ Church had the first self
Speaker 3: chick out self service checkout machines Free the quake two
Speaker 3: thousand and six. Yeld Trumpo's parade was a bit an
Speaker 3: anti climax one. They could even march. Did you see
Speaker 3: them fidget spinner men? They were bad. Well i'll tell
Speaker 3: you what. I tell you what. They got nothing on
Speaker 3: North Korea when it comes to that step. But just
Speaker 3: look lazy, Beth. Good evening, it's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to say about the self service chickout.
Speaker 7: If they gave me a five percent discount, chicking it
Speaker 7: out and bathing.
Speaker 3: That they gave us a discount, or even like some
Speaker 3: knives or something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, a discount on the grocery respects would not be.
Speaker 3: Into because I think I think people are probably giving
Speaker 3: themselves a discount Beth, by like slipping something through because
Speaker 3: they feel bad that they're having to do the work themselves.
Speaker 7: Well, the super markets are saving I don't know how
Speaker 7: many tens of thousands of dollars in wages by not
Speaker 7: having people checking their groceries out.
Speaker 3: So you go through the aisle normally, do you.
Speaker 7: No, Because at my supermarket, the big one up in Auckland,
Speaker 7: they only have one person on the outs. You've got
Speaker 7: a cue, you've got a queue for the self service
Speaker 7: anyway most of the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's ghastly isn't it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and if they gave me a discount, I wouldn't
Speaker 7: feel so missed about it.
Speaker 3: Well, why don't they?
Speaker 7: It's all about the money, about.
Speaker 4: The door, Amy be thanksfully. If you've got your opinion,
Speaker 4: let us know.
Speaker 3: Marcus if a nine us too like to register the
Speaker 3: self check out, there's a button on the screen skip begging.
Speaker 3: Who knew, Marcus. Sometimes you've got no choice but to
Speaker 3: go through self chick out because there's no one on
Speaker 3: the chickut Egs Bunnings, Marcus, My local countdown and money
Speaker 3: is having a rebound. They're taking out the count is
Speaker 3: increasing self chick out area, allegedly improving customers experience, but
Speaker 3: actually increasing cues on the remaining chick out lines. Having
Speaker 3: this stuff, who is really benefiting? Marc's I hate self
Speaker 3: check out. When it's card check out, you scan the
Speaker 3: first item, then it says do you want to continue
Speaker 3: with a card? Of course I do. Can't they ult
Speaker 3: machines to remove this message? Brilliant?
Speaker 4: We're away, Philip's Marcus, good evening.
Speaker 8: Yeahhy, Marcus, just we get a one and they say that.
Speaker 8: From the day they introduced those things, I thought they're
Speaker 8: a stupid idea. Yes, and as the last lady said,
Speaker 8: what they're saving in wages they are losing in the
Speaker 8: best Yes, that's pointless. But I'd just like to put
Speaker 8: out a call to all of those for wonder a
Speaker 8: better words wortholes who think taking a full to overloaded
Speaker 8: trolley through the check that checkout that can't even hold
Speaker 8: ten are a pain in my back.
Speaker 3: There's not a limited, is there No, But.
Speaker 8: There's only a very small area to put your stuff
Speaker 8: onto for the way, Why are they doing that? Because
Speaker 8: I don't want to queue up with the other trolley sports.
Speaker 3: Seems a lot of work to do a big do
Speaker 3: a big shop through the self chickout, doesn't it? Because
Speaker 3: then you're getting as you can't stick it in they break.
Speaker 8: It does and then they hold up the so called
Speaker 8: fast checkout for half an hour trying to get their
Speaker 8: entire trolley through.
Speaker 3: Do you steal stuff?
Speaker 8: Never? But you think avoid self checkout?
Speaker 9: I'll go through the you think other people?
Speaker 8: I think a.
Speaker 10: Lot of people do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, because they've got the I don't
Speaker 3: even know how they know how many people steal? How
Speaker 3: would they know?
Speaker 8: Stop class At the end of them, A lot of.
Speaker 4: Stock lost some shops as normally staff, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: But all I know the warehouse out west is they
Speaker 8: had them originally, but they removed them and only have
Speaker 8: check out the game because of the master amount of
Speaker 8: a lot good.
Speaker 3: On West Aalkland keeping. It's real, nineteen past eight, here ye,
Speaker 3: here ye, it's been ten years for most of us.
Speaker 3: How we fitting about self checkout? This is the official survey?
Speaker 3: Yeah or no? And how many of you actually stolen stuff?
Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm going to put that through something else
Speaker 3: because you're so brassed off as the their thing around,
Speaker 3: because I reckon people are getting sick of it because
Speaker 3: it's not as straightforward as it once was. They're now
Speaker 3: policing it all the time. They wand over with a
Speaker 3: patronizing tone, rub the lanyard, wave it never explain what's
Speaker 3: going on. They type type type type should be right now,
Speaker 3: they say, wow, actually be right? If you had people
Speaker 3: working here, your comments please, I'll get to the text
Speaker 3: some lines there for you. Marcus is a self service
Speaker 3: milk if your discount, but you also don't get the
Speaker 3: stickers for the Smeg. I understand the Supermarks in England
Speaker 3: are removing the self chicken that's right.
Speaker 4: I think we're on the cusp.
Speaker 3: I think if they if we Jean Valjean, and if
Speaker 3: they hear the people sing singing the songs of angry men,
Speaker 3: we might self check out again. That's my take, Marcus.
Speaker 3: I don't mind the self checkout. It's the constant thank
Speaker 3: you for shopping loudly, over and over again. Yes, self
Speaker 3: checkout drives me crazy. Every day I go to the
Speaker 3: local Woolies just to get the ODT newspaper. But it's
Speaker 3: so light it doesn't register, so I pick it up
Speaker 3: and throw it down hard. It's crazy because it must't
Speaker 3: been matching the ODT these days. Evening, Scott, What was
Speaker 3: that make, Scott Marcus welcome?
Speaker 11: Yeah, Marcus, Hey, here you go. Mate oz your mayonnaise
Speaker 11: on GECS a few months ago.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah ye old gie yeah yeah yeah yeah, cheese toasty.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I thought with you.
Speaker 13: Do you.
Speaker 3: Work at Bunnings or something?
Speaker 11: Yeah? I work in ITM and the yard.
Speaker 4: Pretty good memory.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're not bad.
Speaker 3: You're not bad.
Speaker 11: Hey, brother, I've obviously got the lurg or come down
Speaker 11: with the flu.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I went to the supermarket yesterday and I decided to
Speaker 11: do Devil sausages.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good thing today. What's the devil? What's
Speaker 3: the differ?
Speaker 9: Refer to?
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I did my devil sausages markets. I had
Speaker 11: to go to the supermarket. I had to get an apple,
Speaker 11: get an onion, a little sachet.
Speaker 3: Mayonnaise, mayonnaise on the toasted sandwiches. Your heck, isn't it?
Speaker 11: Yeah? Yeah, you're very good. Yeah, yeah, you do have
Speaker 11: a really you've got a good recall there.
Speaker 4: Brother photo resentive.
Speaker 3: So you got the what did you get? You got
Speaker 3: the apple?
Speaker 11: So I get the apple, I get the onion, I
Speaker 11: get the little devil sausage, this sachet, I got the
Speaker 11: potatoes at home. I go through the self check out. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and they turned around and I put everything through, and
Speaker 11: then she goes, I need to check your receipt on
Speaker 11: your apple because when all the apples came up, Marcus,
Speaker 11: I didn't know.
Speaker 14: So what did I do?
Speaker 9: I picked the cheapest one?
Speaker 11: Am I dealing?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think you probably knew that. Did it look
Speaker 3: like the apple you had?
Speaker 11: I just grabbed. I just grabbed an apple, Marcus, straight up.
Speaker 11: That's my point. And the open basket.
Speaker 3: Things you see, I reckon they should just price. All
Speaker 3: the apples the same price, because.
Speaker 11: That's just and apples and apples potato potato. I said,
Speaker 11: I'm no an apple technician. I don't know which apple
Speaker 11: I grabbed.
Speaker 3: Do I look like the ends of marketing bought them?
Speaker 3: And who knows the jazz from a gold and Delicious?
Speaker 11: No one exactly Like I get there the green ones,
Speaker 11: but I grabbed the red and white one, and I
Speaker 11: didn't look at the prices, and I tried to grab
Speaker 11: the cheapest one, so I put it through the cheapest.
Speaker 11: But my point to you, Marcus, is to the supermarkets
Speaker 11: is we're all like I put, I scanned everything and
Speaker 11: I put it in my bag, and then I get
Speaker 11: questioned on apple. But when I when I had seven
Speaker 11: options on apples, there were seven options, Marcus, seven Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 11: No one was No one was with no one had
Speaker 11: eye contact.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 11: But when you leave, when you leave to exit, everyone's
Speaker 11: really keen to catch up with you.
Speaker 4: How much more expensive was the apple?
Speaker 11: The apple was seventy five cents. Apparently I'd grabbed Grannie
Speaker 11: Smith or a Royal Gala. I'm not a technician markets.
Speaker 11: I don't know my apples.
Speaker 4: How much was that one worth?
Speaker 11: They reckon. It was a dollar seventy five.
Speaker 3: I reckon the apples, so I can tell.
Speaker 11: You what happened. As they said, thank you very much,
Speaker 11: enjoy your day. You can go. But they had to
Speaker 11: stop me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that so they sprung you. They charged you the
Speaker 3: right price at the end for the apple.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, no no extra charge, just the little embarrassment
Speaker 11: of being felt like you're a thief when you've got
Speaker 11: the flu and you just try to make a cottage pie.
Speaker 11: And I live in the country and I'm supporting my
Speaker 11: local supermarket.
Speaker 3: I think it was a devil sausage, not the cottage
Speaker 3: by Scott. But thank you. Eight twenty seven Marcus Shop
Speaker 3: a New World. All the ones in Christich I've been
Speaker 3: to don't have self chick out. That's a bad sign
Speaker 3: for Christians. They don't trust people. Yeah, apples should all
Speaker 3: be the same price, shouldn't they. The apples have stickers
Speaker 3: with the name Lunar Apple's brother. I don't even know
Speaker 3: if the apples stickers have their name on it, do they.
Speaker 3: I can't work out why they can't develop a apple
Speaker 3: and the barcode is actually it grows on it. That
Speaker 3: would be a thing to do wouldn't it a million texts?
Speaker 3: Get those through? But mainly it's about the self checkout.
Speaker 3: Oh he's sick of it, because I suspect we probably are.
Speaker 3: But they're doubling down on it. They're doubling down on it.
Speaker 3: But I think we've got to do a little bit
Speaker 3: of resistance. I'm not saying people should check things through wrongly,
Speaker 3: but I think we've only been a bit too compliant,
Speaker 3: have we? Eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
Speaker 3: nine text? Do you want to be a part of it?
Speaker 3: Hey til the end, the bitter end, Marcus till midnight?
Speaker 3: Does anything else happens? I could be updated with that
Speaker 3: throughout the course of the evening. Anyone sits through and
Speaker 3: watch all of Trump's march, well goodness me like someone
Speaker 3: was even reenactment from different wars. The reckon The problem
Speaker 3: was it was army. They reckon the Navy were better marches.
Speaker 3: We have never seen such a lazy march. Anyway. I
Speaker 3: didn't watch it for a long time. I just thought, well,
Speaker 3: I wonder what's going on there? Didn't seem that it
Speaker 3: didn't seem like that French one that old Trump saw
Speaker 3: in about twenty sixteen. He loved that, didn't he thought?
Speaker 3: Let to everybody that wasn't even close self, check out
Speaker 3: how bad? How good?
Speaker 4: Here's the serve? There are we sick of it?
Speaker 3: That's the question I'm asking you tonight, because I suspect
Speaker 3: we probably are.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 3: I am just getting more and more kind of tricky
Speaker 3: as they keep asking you questions and doing things like that.
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine nine two to
Speaker 3: Dick's put you straight through if you want to come through.
Speaker 3: There's something else you want to mention on this fine Monday.
Speaker 3: It'd be nice to hear from your Marcus till midnight tonight.
Speaker 4: Oh eight hundred eighty.
Speaker 3: And nine to nine two to text. What they call
Speaker 3: it devil sausages? Can you tell me more about that?
Speaker 3: I'll look into that. Actually, when do I change the
Speaker 3: cottage pie in the end? Anyway? Must be sick of
Speaker 3: his confusing his dinners A half passed eight tony headlines please.
Speaker 2: I was wondering what the apple had to do with
Speaker 2: the cottage. No.
Speaker 3: I think with devil sausages there might be an applin
Speaker 3: there that gives it that sort of devilment. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: devilment that's right, that's exactly right, Tony who knows. By
Speaker 3: the way, I'm surprised you could buy a sache for
Speaker 3: Devil sausages. Must be one of the Meggi range. Callback
Speaker 3: Connor Illo, Ivan Marcus, welcome, greetings.
Speaker 2: Hi, yes, Ivan here, I'm a truck driver. I'm just
Speaker 2: about to travel over the New Highway and.
Speaker 3: Oh great, lucky you're eleven and a half k is
Speaker 3: twelve minutes or eight minutes or something. You'll go, well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: We seem to get over. I'm thinking about five minutes
Speaker 2: pretty good, so hopefully the reception hanging them yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just thinking about when I when I chopped
Speaker 2: onions at home, I seem to kind of hang back,
Speaker 2: so I'm not directly over them, so I managed to
Speaker 2: avoid the tears as well.
Speaker 3: Because some people are really the onion the onions. Some
Speaker 3: people are really really Hollywood the onions.
Speaker 4: It's like sort of that it's not that bad.
Speaker 15: Yeah yeah, but yeah to self checkouts. So I live
Speaker 15: in Martin so there's only a couple of smaller supermarkets.
Speaker 2: That they do both. The New World does their self
Speaker 2: checkouts actually this weekend, so occasionally Healthy and Farmersman or
Speaker 2: I decided to go to Peck and So, and they're
Speaker 2: quite big, and I just decided I'll go and to
Speaker 2: be much shopping and try and serve a few dollars.
Speaker 2: And they do have self checkouts as well. But I
Speaker 2: went through the main big checkout and one thing I
Speaker 2: noticed they they don't let you bag your opens at
Speaker 2: the checkout because they're so busy that it holds up
Speaker 2: the traffic that goes through the checkouts. Really, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's one thing I noticed. And yeah, I just found
Speaker 2: it odd because I've never really, I don't go and
Speaker 2: I've only been in there a couple of a handful
Speaker 2: of times. And most other supermarkets so i'll either ask
Speaker 2: if you want to bag your own thanks, or they'll
Speaker 2: bag them for you. But yeah, they wouldn't let me
Speaker 2: bag at the checkout going through. It was different at
Speaker 2: the self serve checkout. I think they don't let you
Speaker 2: danger things going through the self So yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, well I find that very interesting. I even thank
Speaker 4: you for that.
Speaker 3: We understand that.
Speaker 4: Twenty seven away from nine Welcome.
Speaker 3: My name is Marcus, Greetings, how are you? How are you?
Speaker 3: Wouldn't happen at Karabeth God sees what it and the
Speaker 3: Waltons they just wait on everything. Get in touch by
Speaker 3: name's Marcus. A ton of texts, keep those coming through. Marcus.
Speaker 3: My mate New World sells more bananas than he buys
Speaker 3: in wait till their sisters having a peach and then
Speaker 3: places this steak on the scale and hits the banana button.
Speaker 4: Marcus.
Speaker 3: Don't feel too bad half to check out. People I
Speaker 3: know deal with don't know the various varieties of fruit
Speaker 3: and vegies.
Speaker 4: Have to tell them.
Speaker 3: I don't use self checkout because I can't find the
Speaker 3: various fruit on the lists. Kate, if you would be
Speaker 3: tempted to steal something, why don't you steal? No, this
Speaker 3: is not a good thing to say. However, are would
Speaker 3: the kiwi fruit? There's ones that are kind of more
Speaker 3: colorful on the inside. They can't tell from the outside.
Speaker 3: They all look the same. Yeah, often one of people
Speaker 3: are scamming the more expensive kiwi fruit. He's a text.
Speaker 3: This is someone that's not handing the conversation. Well, utter crap,
Speaker 3: Marcus going into new Onord Fiddleton and is a self checkout.
Speaker 3: Don't we need the escalation of language, Marcus. The Albany
Speaker 3: peck and save self chick out here is huge. You
Speaker 3: can take full sized trolleys through, Marcus. I love the
Speaker 3: self check out and I have many cheats blown out
Speaker 3: because increases the price for the honest people. Marcus. They
Speaker 3: call them devil sausages because old Nick used to barbecue
Speaker 3: them and to hades back in the older days. I
Speaker 3: think they called devil sausages because because because I don't,
Speaker 3: they're called devil sausages because anything spicy is called devils.
Speaker 3: That's my take on that. Your opinion on this, please
Speaker 3: O eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus. I know
Speaker 3: people who filled the little plastic bag with expensive nuts
Speaker 3: and then write the note the code of the cheapest
Speaker 3: nuts on the bag, which would be what the peanut is,
Speaker 3: what's the cheapest nut. Yeah, well that's what people will do,
Speaker 3: I suppose. But there's all sorts of a LUTs now
Speaker 3: when someone comes walking or hang on what you all
Speaker 3: hang on? Marcus. I don't feel anything slicing onion either,
Speaker 3: But after many chili I rubs, an onion is quite insignificant. Yes,
Speaker 3: I think it's overrated, the old onions, but maybe I've
Speaker 3: desensitized myself. Get in touch, come on this and that,
Speaker 3: this and that. Mainly it's about the self checkout. I
Speaker 3: don't know what pure well as I say, one or
Speaker 3: two items fine, but the rest of it, goodness me.
Speaker 3: It's harder to get behind her. And also too if
Speaker 3: you've got those cards like I use. My partner's stupid.
Speaker 3: It's a New World card, I think, because I hate
Speaker 3: the fact that you've always got special items. But if
Speaker 3: self check out, you can't put in your phone number.
Speaker 3: I always tell me. They say, oh, I say, They
Speaker 3: say to you have a stupid card. Let's not called
Speaker 3: a stupid card. Have you got a stupid Have you
Speaker 3: got a what's a stupid New World card? Called New
Speaker 3: World Rewards card?
Speaker 16: Is it?
Speaker 3: They say, have you got a New World card? And
Speaker 3: I say, I'll give them a phone number club card?
Speaker 3: And I give them my phone number and they say,
Speaker 3: a you Vanessa, And I say, well, no, I'm not Vanessa.
Speaker 3: That's a partner. But you can't do that itself check out.
Speaker 3: You need the card. She could be so simple, Marcus.
Speaker 3: The Mandarins will the supermarkets will special off, say Mandarins.
Speaker 3: Then when you get the scan off of two options,
Speaker 3: usually use it and grown imported. If you click on
Speaker 3: the wrong option, you will pay double. I've even gone
Speaker 3: back and checked and the more expensive option is not
Speaker 3: even on the shelves. Extortion. Extortion, so you put something
Speaker 3: there to catch you out, which is a non existent mandarin.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that there's a lot of games in the
Speaker 3: supermarket business that they're into. Come on ya to the
Speaker 3: self check out, keep it busy. What do you got
Speaker 3: to say about this? I'll be around the other news
Speaker 3: for you for tonight, in case I tell us what
Speaker 3: the aeroplane crashed, Boy's crash in a decade. Took a
Speaker 3: while for that information to come through, didn't it. Temperatures
Speaker 3: are set to plunge to below zero team who minus
Speaker 3: two twice or minus four masterton zero, topol zero puanga
Speaker 3: nui five. Goodness, so yep, she's arctic. Get yourself some
Speaker 3: firewood minus or minus two for in the cargo. Godness,
Speaker 3: Sam Marcus, welcome evening thing.
Speaker 14: How are you good?
Speaker 3: Sam?
Speaker 4: Thank you for asking?
Speaker 3: Very good, dangerous, excellent, excellent.
Speaker 14: What bugs mean about supermarket says you go and buy
Speaker 14: a bottle of wine and you're fifty years old and
Speaker 14: you've got a teenage supervisor is to come able to
Speaker 14: prove your ID. Why can't the lord has progressed? You
Speaker 14: have these cards? Why can't you prove your ID and
Speaker 14: then you never have to get asked for your ID
Speaker 14: or somebody else to come over and to prove your purchase.
Speaker 3: Looking on, they've got so much facial recognitions data going
Speaker 3: on there that should nobey because they're filming you the
Speaker 3: whole way. Surely they have Your file has been fifty
Speaker 3: You're not getting any younger, are you.
Speaker 14: That's what I'm saying is, if you have, let's say
Speaker 14: a New World card, why can't you prove to him
Speaker 14: who you are and how old you are so that
Speaker 14: you never have to get asked for approval to buy
Speaker 14: a bottle of wine ever?
Speaker 3: Again, Okay, I don't know much about that because in
Speaker 3: the cargo they can't sell one of the supermarket Okay,
Speaker 3: it's weird, isn't.
Speaker 14: It must be a licensing trust or something like that.
Speaker 3: Certainly is none. They can't sell No, only can they
Speaker 3: not sell alcohol. The vanilla essence you've got to ask
Speaker 3: for specifically. I think people are going to drink it.
Speaker 3: It's not a good sign, is it? Ralph? Yes, Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 9: Oh good afternoon, Am I on am I.
Speaker 3: Yes, you're all on okay.
Speaker 9: I've just put been down the supermarket and I buy
Speaker 9: a cat food and it's called Oscar and it's like
Speaker 9: a sort of a cartoon cait, but it put out
Speaker 9: for people that lack all the cat food anyway, and
Speaker 9: every fortnight at New World anyway, they didn't used to
Speaker 9: do it, but they do now. They put their price
Speaker 9: up that used to be teen eighty five and they
Speaker 9: go up to twelve eighty five or twelve ninety five
Speaker 9: and they do it every fortnight. And I just went
Speaker 9: in yesterday and it was too dear, so I went
Speaker 9: back tonight and because it was pay day and thanks
Speaker 9: for the government, and it was back to ten. Well
Speaker 9: was that one particular when I wanted was ten ninety
Speaker 9: five to night? So they do it every every week
Speaker 9: and then if you if you can't get it there,
Speaker 9: you can go to Alwisk and they'll have it down,
Speaker 9: you know, blah blah blasht But they're playing the game
Speaker 9: with katfoo and only buy one brand. They do it
Speaker 9: every time, so they've got lots of tricks there.
Speaker 4: How are they just doing it for pinch and day?
Speaker 3: Are you saying oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 9: It just happens that it fits in with my pinching day.
Speaker 9: So maybe it's more minister than what I thought. But
Speaker 9: it's just the brand ie buy. It's a little black
Speaker 9: and white cat and its name was Oscar and and
Speaker 9: it's quite a popular one by the sounds of it,
Speaker 9: and it's the one the cats will eat, unlike a
Speaker 9: lot of the catsoo that I used to buy. And
Speaker 9: I just get really very annoyed when they went around
Speaker 9: with the sales every fortnight without without tail.
Speaker 3: So so what are they doing with the pricing?
Speaker 9: They just put it up another.
Speaker 3: Two dollars and then take it down and.
Speaker 9: Then they drop it down the next fortnight. But when
Speaker 9: but you'll find.
Speaker 3: That that's bad. That's bad though, isn't it positive?
Speaker 9: Yeah? But then meanwhile they're swapping other brains around them,
Speaker 9: trying to confuse they.
Speaker 3: Are because thinks should just be the same damn price.
Speaker 3: We're sick of the gaming it right, we're hearing your
Speaker 3: outh now, I'm getting educated, evening cord of this is Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 3: They cured the Marcus good, thank you.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 17: So I've got a couple of things about the North
Speaker 17: South checkout. My first point is when you get a
Speaker 17: when the price is wrong on the shelf. So you
Speaker 17: buy something, you think it's a good deal, and then
Speaker 17: you scan it and the price is incorrect because it's
Speaker 17: not been barcoded or it's not been labeled properly. Yeah,
Speaker 17: there's a whole fiesco now created where I have to,
Speaker 17: you know, wave person over and hope that they're going
Speaker 17: to honor the prices per the thing.
Speaker 12: And I think I.
Speaker 3: Think it countdown. It says on their face on their
Speaker 3: website they'll give it to you free.
Speaker 17: Oh I wish I knew that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have discussed that, Yeah, I think because I
Speaker 3: think they have at least decided to honor themselves with.
Speaker 4: Wrong ticket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in correct pricing, which I think is It's been
Speaker 3: a while since I've discussed it, but yeah, that seems
Speaker 3: to be true.
Speaker 18: I had to.
Speaker 17: I just jet back and took a photo of where
Speaker 17: I found this, and then I just asked them politely
Speaker 17: if they get honor that price, and they did, luckily.
Speaker 17: But I just thought it was more of a fiasco
Speaker 17: than it needed to be. If it was just a person,
Speaker 17: that would have been a lot more easier for myself
Speaker 17: as well as the single person operating the whole stuff.
Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, but just check into that.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure they.
Speaker 4: I think they will replace these things in corectly priced.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 19: No.
Speaker 17: And my only other concern with the whole South Checkout
Speaker 17: and ever increasing AI presence is what's going to happen
Speaker 17: to all these entry level jobs in the future, and
Speaker 17: what's going to happen to our economy with those entry
Speaker 17: level jobs being replaced.
Speaker 3: I think they're going to get work. I think there
Speaker 3: are a lot of entry level people compiling the orders.
Speaker 3: I see a lot of people the supermarket putting those
Speaker 3: orders together for the home shopping people.
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's a fair call for the uber and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's that's what I'm seeing.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing a lot of people pushing around trolley's, Christ's, Marcus,
Speaker 3: good evening.
Speaker 20: Oh, good evening, Marcus listening about getting id's for buying.
Speaker 21: Wine at the chickout.
Speaker 3: Yes, all these years, I thought.
Speaker 20: In my sixties, why do they bother coming over? Calling
Speaker 20: someone over? And so I found out recently they're not
Speaker 20: really checking my age. They're just checking to see if
Speaker 20: you're inebriated or not. Finding out because I asked them.
Speaker 20: I said, isn't not obvious? I was joking with the.
Speaker 3: Young chickout it's a point, and she said, no.
Speaker 20: Well, they're reay not chicking your age. They call them
Speaker 20: over to find out if you've been drinking or not,
Speaker 20: and they won't sell it to you if you're inebriated.
Speaker 20: So it doesn't matter about your age.
Speaker 3: If you're getting aund If you get around the supermarket
Speaker 3: and find a bottle of whiter, you can scat it
Speaker 3: and pay for it, doesn't Doesn't that show that you're
Speaker 3: that you're good to go?
Speaker 20: Yeah, so that's what they told me.
Speaker 21: They just check out whether people have.
Speaker 3: Been drinking or not, or when you want more drink
Speaker 3: when you've been drinking. But they don't ever ever make
Speaker 3: your blow. No, they don't do they not really No.
Speaker 20: I just thought, why do they bother chicken your age
Speaker 20: when it's pretty old?
Speaker 3: That's interesting, Chris, why do they supervisor? Okay, I find
Speaker 3: that interesting? Take you ken AT's Marcus, welcome, good evening.
Speaker 22: Young Marcus shall a good thank you, Ken, Yeah, Supermark.
Speaker 23: Good.
Speaker 22: Yeah, the worst will countdown. Yeah, I've stopped packing your gooods,
Speaker 22: not all of them you know your eggs.
Speaker 3: Oh they don't pick anymore, do they know?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 24: And yeah, you're right.
Speaker 22: There's the gentlemen that rang up earlier about the alcohol. Yeah,
Speaker 22: you know the cards.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 22: I thought that there was something regarding the licensing where
Speaker 22: they have to be over eighteen or twenty one or
Speaker 22: something to be able to you know, because technically that's
Speaker 22: serving alcohol, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yes, but they must be Also they're not supposed to
Speaker 3: sell it to people they're an ebra.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the lawas around there, but that
Speaker 4: might be a thing.
Speaker 22: Well yeah as well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because the supermarkets to the supermarkets wouldn't want to lose
Speaker 3: their right to sell alcohol because they make an ebsolute
Speaker 3: fortune out of that.
Speaker 22: Oh yeah, they do, one hundred percent, correct.
Speaker 3: There, Yeah, they make it any good killing.
Speaker 22: But the other gentleman that was talking about is cat food.
Speaker 22: I buy that same cat food, and I go between
Speaker 22: New World and bull Worse because if Bull Worse has
Speaker 22: it at the normal price, the dere price, New World
Speaker 22: will have it at a cheaper rate.
Speaker 3: One supermarket just should say hey, this is our price
Speaker 3: that we're going to stick with it. That should be
Speaker 3: the pet owners guarantee because it's crazy to go up
Speaker 3: and down.
Speaker 4: But that's just gaming it.
Speaker 22: Yeah, but they're all you know, it's a big have anyway.
Speaker 22: There's only two supermarket groups in it, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all they have.
Speaker 4: Bob Marcus welcome.
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5: Marcus are going to make your there in home particular
Speaker 5: and at night, at midnight, there's a lot of All
Speaker 5: those pricings are automatically changed on the little clip that's
Speaker 5: clipped to the board. It's automatically changed. But the problem
Speaker 5: being there is when we put our stuff in the cabinet,
Speaker 5: we write the price on the glass, so we are
Speaker 5: unaware that half the prices. But I don't people take
Speaker 5: stuff up in the checkers and then come back and
Speaker 5: say to me, oh, no, you told me it was
Speaker 5: two dollars, but in sexty ten dollars. I wouldn't know
Speaker 5: unless went upstairs and shipped all the emails they've come
Speaker 5: through in the middle of the night. They're all electronically.
Speaker 5: They change all electronically overnight from theat.
Speaker 3: Office, even from bake Goods.
Speaker 5: No, that's from zaying we had to change the profer
Speaker 5: which they would put a price through. Change it, but
Speaker 5: unless the supervisor went up in the very first five
Speaker 5: minutes of the day and read all his email, which
Speaker 5: you wouldn't know. Yeah, okay, yeah, so they actually changed
Speaker 5: from head office. The shop doesn't decide how much they
Speaker 5: charge someone in the New World. Hit office tells them
Speaker 5: what they're going to charge and that's it.
Speaker 4: But you were saying, that's not things that you bake.
Speaker 5: No, no, because we used to write the price on
Speaker 5: the cabinet.
Speaker 3: I see, can't change it in the middle of the night.
Speaker 5: But I mean they never really advised us either. We'd
Speaker 5: get people bringing stuff banks here. You told me it
Speaker 5: was so much. Not so even if you own a
Speaker 5: New World, you can't decide what proce you're going to charge.
Speaker 5: It all gets done from head office.
Speaker 4: Nice to hear from you, Bob. Thank you, Ellison. It's Marcus.
Speaker 3: Good evening, are there, Ellison?
Speaker 19: Oh sorry about that. Yeah, I'm usually another one that
Speaker 19: is on special. You can get it every not always
Speaker 19: every two or three weeks. It's fight fifty when it's
Speaker 19: on special, and you just know to buy a lot
Speaker 19: more that week and hopefully not eat it all very quickly,
Speaker 19: because when it's not special, it's up to be nearly
Speaker 19: nine dollars.
Speaker 3: So you just get used to say what products that.
Speaker 19: Senatorum.
Speaker 3: Usually a lot of people wouldn't know that. They're probably
Speaker 3: put playing to you because they just check it all through.
Speaker 3: Think it would be the same price each time.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, and the self scanning as good. As you go
Speaker 19: shopping early in the morning and there's only one person
Speaker 19: on the ordinary checkouts and you've got a lot of
Speaker 19: people with big trolley full of growthries, it is good,
Speaker 19: and you can there's people there that the self skin
Speaker 19: can can come over and help you. If you've got
Speaker 19: to say a number of item, say fourteens of suup
Speaker 19: or something, they can come over and push the button
Speaker 19: there said you know who's are standing drag each one
Speaker 19: of cuss and they can poke the numbers in for you.
Speaker 19: So there's people want to help you there.
Speaker 4: Okay, listen, thanks for it.
Speaker 3: Back after the news trying get through it's all about
Speaker 3: self checkout. Do we hate it or do we just
Speaker 3: have to put up with it? Or are there ways
Speaker 3: to get around it? So I imagine it's not sitting stone,
Speaker 3: so I don't see much more vigilant on it now.
Speaker 3: So you might want to comment on that someone's texted
Speaker 3: through news tools he had been lefted has been switched
Speaker 3: off on the am. The same AD's been continuous repeating
Speaker 3: for the last ten minutes. That's right, it will be
Speaker 3: probably jeez, house passed the North people right down and
Speaker 3: the news the Uranian jump on their turf. We're not
Speaker 3: you could have free anymore. I think there was always
Speaker 3: use of radioactive material science and stuff. Marcus. I was
Speaker 3: told of supervisor comes to sign off for alcohol pictures
Speaker 3: because the shop attended is not of AG eighteen to
Speaker 3: sell it to you. Oh yeah, Marcus. Concerning packing your
Speaker 3: own groceries at the market, if you spend two dollars
Speaker 3: per week, that makes me a ten thousand year customer.
Speaker 3: I better get service buying one thousand. I get bitter
Speaker 3: service buying a five thousand dollars car. To the guy
Speaker 3: who's called saying he's fifty, so tie in his points
Speaker 3: card to age so he doesn't need personal approval each time.
Speaker 3: Come on, mate, that'll ever happen. You could just give
Speaker 3: your card to anybody. It seems to be the pit
Speaker 3: food seems to be the scam, Marcus, I work at you. Well,
Speaker 3: they don't change their prices willing only they do. Actually,
Speaker 3: the wall with self checkouts have a camera over each
Speaker 3: check out, watching every move. If anything looks dodgy, it
Speaker 3: locks it and the supermarket has to check what you've scanned.
Speaker 3: Marc's I hope I'm gonna pack in a self chickut.
Speaker 3: I should get a five percent discount that point of sale,
Speaker 3: Sandy Marcus. A great way to save a few bobs
Speaker 3: to have a few stick of barcodes from a previous shop.
Speaker 3: Just pop it over the deer, same product. No, I see,
Speaker 3: that's like stuff from the deli. They're putting another the
Speaker 3: old thing. I thought they'd be date stamped. Come on, people,
Speaker 3: it's here from you. Oh eight D detects my name
Speaker 3: to market's welcome. Are you happy with the scam that
Speaker 3: is self checkout? I've always quite enjoyed it because I'm
Speaker 3: only getting smart, small items. But actually recently it's become
Speaker 3: unworkable because I always stop saying hang on. There's always
Speaker 3: things that are too heavy or too expensive, and it's
Speaker 3: kind of it's just a bit rude. So if you
Speaker 3: want to talk about that, that's all right about tonight.
Speaker 3: Eight text. If there's something else you want to mention, hidden.
Speaker 4: They now reckon.
Speaker 3: The video showed that both engines failed catastrophically. It's not
Speaker 3: just the guy pulling the wrong leaver. This is the plane.
Speaker 3: Obviously very cold frosts overnight. You might want to actually
Speaker 3: put your shade cloth over your windscreen.
Speaker 15: There.
Speaker 3: I've warned you early. You've got time to go out
Speaker 3: there and do it before you get a bed. But
Speaker 3: a drama at the mushroom trial today. There's summing up
Speaker 3: at that court case. But yes, get in touch. Onna
Speaker 3: Is Marcus if you want to talk eight hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty and nine two nine to Dicks would
Speaker 3: love to hear from you. There's something different you want
Speaker 3: to mention. I can handle that also tonight. Oh eight
Speaker 3: hundred eighty teddy and nine two nine two to text.
Speaker 3: But manly, it's about self check out. That's what' right
Speaker 3: about tonight? Long may that last? Yeip Pio just try
Speaker 3: to say it anything international? No, not much about Trump's march?
Speaker 3: Is there the TIMU march they're calling it? Anyway? Oh,
Speaker 3: by the way, price I guess will be going up.
Speaker 3: That's right. I think Boeing Shears dropped five percent the
Speaker 3: price of fuel and up ten percent. It all affects
Speaker 3: everything done. Pat Marcus, Welcome, Hello Marcus.
Speaker 12: I just thought i'd tell you what's been happening to me.
Speaker 12: I'm eighty nine and I get my groceries to live it.
Speaker 12: The other day it's been getting one hundred and something
Speaker 12: dollars and not have four little bags. The other day
Speaker 12: I went into town and I thought, I'll just check
Speaker 12: their price of steering steak to what it is on
Speaker 12: the on the list that you order off and during steak,
Speaker 12: an ice piece was twenty eight dollars, and when I
Speaker 12: looked at the shop they were eighteen. It was eighteen dollars.
Speaker 12: So I thought, blas this I'm being ripped off. And
Speaker 12: so I'm presided, because I don't drive, I'm going to
Speaker 12: get my tax seats and I'm going to go to
Speaker 12: Peck and say, and I'll tell you what I noticed
Speaker 12: that in Countdown there's about one checkup open and hardly
Speaker 12: any people in the store. And when you go to
Speaker 12: Peck and Say, you can hardly move in. All the
Speaker 12: checkouts are open.
Speaker 3: So this you were doing, you're getting your grocery slivered
Speaker 3: from Walworth as they caught now Countdown, is that right?
Speaker 12: Yes? Yes, that's right, any.
Speaker 3: Are you right with them? It was eighteen dollars, it
Speaker 3: was twenty eight dollars. It was for a whole kilo,
Speaker 3: is it right?
Speaker 12: Well, I don't look. It was in a special packaging
Speaker 12: and it's got it. And I thought, I mean, I
Speaker 12: just don't like gravy beef for stew. I like something
Speaker 12: a bit nice. But no, I just thought blast. And
Speaker 12: it got to the stage markets where I couldn't afford
Speaker 12: to buy good meat. All I was buying was sausages
Speaker 12: and mints.
Speaker 3: But they shouldn't be charging because the wouldn't the meat
Speaker 3: have a fixed Yeah, I can't work that.
Speaker 12: Out, but you go online and have a look at
Speaker 12: some stage and you just see how the price of
Speaker 12: the meat it's it's just not right. In course, the
Speaker 12: amount of meat they've got in this store isn't a lot.
Speaker 3: So when you go so you're saying they're charging more
Speaker 3: for the meat it's delivered to people at home.
Speaker 12: Yes, and it's fifteen dollars for the delivery. I've got
Speaker 12: a nobility cad.
Speaker 3: Can say, yeah, good luck with that. People see if
Speaker 3: some other people have experienced that as well, too, more
Speaker 3: expensive meets the price he cuts when they're shopping online.
Speaker 4: Ryots.
Speaker 3: Marcus, welcome, Oh hi Marcus.
Speaker 13: I was watching a YouTube video today of a captain
Speaker 13: of a new video of the plane crashing, and he
Speaker 13: was showing in the video highlighting there's a thing called
Speaker 13: a rat that comes down from underneath the plane and
Speaker 13: it comes down and it's almost like a small prop
Speaker 13: on a plane. And what it's meant to do is
Speaker 13: if somebody's up high, if the planes areup high, and
Speaker 13: it has an engine failure, catastrophic one, this rat comes
Speaker 13: down to give it just a little bit of a
Speaker 13: boost so they can try and restart the engines or
Speaker 13: getting into a gliding pattern. And with this cleaned up video,
Speaker 13: they could see the rat down, which means there was
Speaker 13: catasloris engine failure.
Speaker 3: Ram Exus turbine deploying air.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and so he could say, because they've got a
Speaker 13: cleaner video being released, and he was looking at it
Speaker 13: me he circled it and he goes, that's the rat.
Speaker 13: And he said, and listen to the plane go over.
Speaker 13: You can hear it. It's like a festna. He said,
Speaker 13: that's not a plane's engines.
Speaker 3: He said, a mess of electrical failure, a mess of
Speaker 3: hydraulic failure or duel engine failure will cause the ret
Speaker 3: to deploy.
Speaker 13: Yeah, And I don't know if you saw that. There
Speaker 13: was a man that was on that plane flying into India,
Speaker 13: you know, the day off and then doing the turnaround
Speaker 13: to go back to England, and he was taking a
Speaker 13: video and showing that the TVs weren't working, the air
Speaker 13: conditioning wasn't working, the lights weren't working. But I reckon
Speaker 13: there's something wrong with the electrical system.
Speaker 3: The other thing that I've gone back to is looking
Speaker 3: at some of those whistleblowers and some of that reporting
Speaker 3: from the blowing factory when these planes were built ten
Speaker 3: or eleven years ago, and they said that the stand
Speaker 3: the standard of workmanship. You know, if you go into
Speaker 3: the area where all the aducting and everything is, there
Speaker 3: was just all sorts of stuff left lying around inside
Speaker 3: the planes. And I think then they said, you know,
Speaker 3: it's shocking the work practices. And they said, these things
Speaker 3: will be fine for a while, but after ten or
Speaker 3: eleven years the way the planes have been left, then
Speaker 3: they will start failing because there's been all sorts of
Speaker 3: just you know, because they're so obsessed with profit, that's
Speaker 3: just apparently there's just bits of metal and everything just
Speaker 3: lying around inside the plan, you know, because they're not
Speaker 3: clearing up after them, because it's not the oversight. Now,
Speaker 3: I mean that sounds smart after the time, but these
Speaker 3: were whistleblowers that blew the whistle years ago about the practice,
Speaker 3: and they forewarned of these sorts of things.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 13: And the other thing, obviously, is that this plane had
Speaker 13: just been in for a complete.
Speaker 3: Refit had it.
Speaker 13: Okay, it had just been into Boeing from what I've
Speaker 13: heard in one of the things, So it had had
Speaker 13: its full new refit none, So you would think it
Speaker 13: would be in tiptop condition.
Speaker 3: I don't know how because they do the refings.
Speaker 13: No, they actually pulled the plane apart to get the
Speaker 13: new seats and everything in. Okay, So the part plane
Speaker 13: I saw one of New Zealand's where they were taking
Speaker 13: off the tail and everything so they could get so
Speaker 13: the whole fuselage is opened up again to get the
Speaker 13: new seats and everything in.
Speaker 3: Really the slide them in. Wow, I hadn't thought about that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, And so then there I suppose re riveted back
Speaker 13: and put back together.
Speaker 3: I guess it was. If it was birds, I guess
Speaker 3: it was bird stripe. We would have seen the footage
Speaker 3: now of the birds hovering around, because you normally see something.
Speaker 3: There seem to be so much video you think they
Speaker 3: would have caught there if there's big vultures or things.
Speaker 3: You don't think they're talking about that.
Speaker 13: No, No, the guy said it was completely clear of birds.
Speaker 13: They couldn't see any bird strike.
Speaker 3: But would you see anything that.
Speaker 13: Well, if it was a massive bird strike, you'd expect
Speaker 13: that you would see it, And he said it was
Speaker 13: perfectly clear. So I think they've ruled birds strike out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't heard anything about bird stripe, but if
Speaker 3: you're looking at two engines trailing, but yeah, okay, well
Speaker 3: there's certainly no one's coming out with any any solutions
Speaker 3: anytime soon. It's been three or four When was it
Speaker 3: last Tuesday's the year last Wednesday? It's been a while,
Speaker 3: hasn't it.
Speaker 13: It'll be months before we hear.
Speaker 4: Yes, but of course too, Bowe would be.
Speaker 3: Boeing would be very keen to try and reassure people,
Speaker 3: to get the year prices back up, to make out
Speaker 3: that they're safe and it wasn't some sort of engine malfunction,
Speaker 3: but it could well have been.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, according to this pilot, there's no way that
Speaker 13: rat would have deployed if there hadn't been something catastrophic happened.
Speaker 3: This is Captain Steve Schreiber. Isn't on YouTube kiptain Stevie
Speaker 3: is there or kiptin Steve?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, because originally he was thinking bird strike or
Speaker 13: that the the co pilot had put down the flaps
Speaker 13: or put them up, whichever way it goes. But he
Speaker 13: said after having seen the rat come down and seeing
Speaker 13: the sharpened up video, because the video had been seen before,
Speaker 13: but it was a cameraman videoing the video and there
Speaker 13: were people talking, and this time he's seen it in
Speaker 13: its pure state and he can hear the engines and
Speaker 13: he said, the engines are not making the right sound.
Speaker 13: Then they're like a Dethner and.
Speaker 4: He said that the rat, So it's dual engine failure.
Speaker 3: Yep, okay, yeah, you're happy with the supermarkets, Ray, I hate.
Speaker 13: Going to the supermarket, absolutely hateous. I get so annoyed,
Speaker 13: and at the same thing, at the price of the meat,
Speaker 13: I think the meat from Countdown is disgusting. I won't
Speaker 13: buy it anymore. I either go to Gilmore's and are
Speaker 13: buying bulk and pass it up, or I go to
Speaker 13: the Aussie butcher.
Speaker 3: And the butcher is that good? Is it?
Speaker 13: Are the one? There's one in Newlyn. He's often on
Speaker 13: the TV. His meat is the purp.
Speaker 3: Was he on the TV?
Speaker 13: He's been on the TV for raising money for charities.
Speaker 13: He got robbed several times over.
Speaker 3: Good Yes, okay, so all sort to the butcher? Yeah
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 13: Do you mean to talk about meat?
Speaker 3: Is it just an Auckland kind of a friendship? Well,
Speaker 3: it sounds like an Australian one, but is it just
Speaker 3: an Aukland?
Speaker 13: The Ozi butcher was actually set up by a man
Speaker 13: my mother and you as a child in Australia here,
Speaker 13: but he since retired, but there was a chain of them.
Speaker 13: I don't know how many there is now that he is.
Speaker 3: I think there's four Newlyn Botany Henderson q mew.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the New Lian one. He's fantastic. And the quality
Speaker 13: of the meeting there.
Speaker 9: Is the serb.
Speaker 3: Nice to hear from your right, thank you. Nineteen twenty
Speaker 3: one past nine Marcus, tell that lady it's a meat.
Speaker 3: We get peck and save size nine frozen chickens five
Speaker 3: dollars godness, Marcus. Self chicken is great until someone comes
Speaker 3: through with more than fifty nine and clogs the line.
Speaker 3: I remember back at my unie days, I'd put through
Speaker 3: everything through as a sixty cent loose bread roll. Work
Speaker 3: great on the machine, glitch and the lady caught me
Speaker 3: red handed. I live in Palmerston I Targo. Our local
Speaker 3: four square supermak has two self checkouts. I wonder what
Speaker 3: size of store is considered too small for self checkouts.
Speaker 4: We've got a four.
Speaker 3: Square and bluff and the new owners, well they've since
Speaker 3: moved on, but they've gone to Stuart Island, but they
Speaker 3: put in self checkout. So now there's one on the
Speaker 3: tail and there's two self checkouts, and uh, you know
Speaker 3: it's one of those in the grabs. We're there quite
Speaker 3: often because it's you know, you've always got to grab
Speaker 3: something for the kids lunches or something like that. So
Speaker 3: and the care. If I can give the kids my phone,
Speaker 3: they can go and grab something. They can self check out.
Speaker 3: They can do it. I've taught them. We do the
Speaker 3: tapping with our knuckles. They like that. That seems to
Speaker 3: be the way they do that. I told them that's
Speaker 3: quicker anyway, keep going. Welcome people, but yeah, self buying stuff.
Speaker 3: That was bad about the eighty nine year old she
Speaker 3: does likes, he doesn't likes the finer cut that's us
Speaker 3: had heartbreaking, doesn't it. It's got to get a taxi
Speaker 3: into town to go to peck and save because you're
Speaker 3: getting stiffed on the meat or whether she was or
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think they could be as
Speaker 3: blatant as that. But your experience with self checkout are
Speaker 3: you over it? By the way, the story of the
Speaker 3: New Zealand Harness race, they got dragged across the field
Speaker 3: at the at the Trots. That's now gone on to international.
Speaker 3: That's become headline news. So the footage must have just
Speaker 3: been released for that one. Jockeys, how's the hero for
Speaker 3: saving a horse with incredibly brayback? That's sort to get
Speaker 3: dragged around the racetrack with a local story for a while,
Speaker 3: but now it's got international on the back of some
Speaker 3: footage for that one. Text oh, eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 3: to eighty. If you want to come through, we talk
Speaker 3: about self check out because enough people kick up bobs
Speaker 3: he dart, they probably get rid of it. But I
Speaker 3: don't know whether people are into it or not. Yes,
Speaker 3: sick of it or just got used to it. Yes,
Speaker 3: I forgot the is to peck your goods for you
Speaker 3: didn't they got the nice bags. I noticed some of
Speaker 3: the daiies have gone self check out, even in one
Speaker 3: of the night and days. I went to you can actually,
Speaker 3: and that was actually quite handy because sometimes you get
Speaker 3: a daary it two in the morning, when the freezing
Speaker 3: works just finished. It wasn't there for their v's and
Speaker 3: meat pies is quite a queue, so it's quite good
Speaker 3: to just do a quick self scan if you're just
Speaker 3: in for something quite quickly. Works quite well. I didn't
Speaker 3: think it would work in a dairy, but it seems to
Speaker 3: work quite well, so yes, there is that. Also, by
Speaker 3: the way, we're getting into time for the midwinter plunges.
Speaker 3: Who still has those? It was the great radio standard
Speaker 3: for a while. A pole a plunge, get the local
Speaker 3: breakfast team down there in the water, you'd go. I
Speaker 3: don't know if anyone does it anymore that we're into
Speaker 3: more sophisticated pursuits, but I see that a needen one's
Speaker 3: about to happen. Oh, it's happened the ninety sixth polar
Speaker 3: plunge at Saint Claire's Beach yesterday. But it's to be
Speaker 3: the right time for polar plunges at midwinter, the solstice,
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: I think it might be a week early. Actually, eight
Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to text.
Speaker 3: Lot of solutions for onions, but yeah, onions don't make
Speaker 3: me cry, doesn't worry me in the slightest. I'm not
Speaker 3: wired that way. Get in touch, Marcus. Till twelve. It
Speaker 3: costs a supermarket two dollars to use a check out
Speaker 3: operator a butt fifty cents for self checkout. I think
Speaker 3: there'd be more leakage with the self checkout. That's my take.
Speaker 3: Good evening, Suzette, This is Marcus.
Speaker 4: Welcome.
Speaker 25: Hi there, Marcus. I've got about three or four things,
Speaker 25: so we'll see how Week Weather Week can sit them in. Firstly,
Speaker 25: you know those curtons of drink or like almond milk
Speaker 25: or swear milk.
Speaker 26: Cartons, ambient ambient milk that well, you have the cap
Speaker 26: that's secure and you hear it click when you unscrew.
Speaker 25: It, but underneath there should be a seal of silver,
Speaker 25: you know, the silver paper that should that seal should
Speaker 25: be intact, and I find almost every time that seal
Speaker 25: is being broken, and it is a concern to me
Speaker 25: who's breaking it and why?
Speaker 3: I think it's just it's not glue down proppery, because
Speaker 3: you're the top plastic thing that you unscrew, that's that's
Speaker 3: got that clip, so you know that that's tip.
Speaker 4: I think you're fine.
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's going to kill you in that milk,
Speaker 4: are they.
Speaker 25: Well, I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3: You never know, you know. Well, of course a while
Speaker 3: since they had that title and all, they tampered with
Speaker 3: the tail and all, and that was quite a big thing.
Speaker 3: But I think tampering with the supermarket products is extremely
Speaker 3: rare in this country.
Speaker 25: Well, you'd hope anyway. The other thing on the news
Speaker 25: mentioned Winston Peters telling well New Zealand is to get
Speaker 25: out of Israel and Iran. And I heard that there
Speaker 25: are seven hundred thousand Americans in Israel and I'm just
Speaker 25: wondering whether whether they've been told to get out quickly.
Speaker 25: It's going to be a mission, isn't it.
Speaker 23: At it.
Speaker 25: And the other thing, I'm finding a lot of shifts
Speaker 25: and also food that's pre made for the supermarket has
Speaker 25: got chili in it, and if you eat chili, it
Speaker 25: destroys your taste buds, so that any food that hasn't
Speaker 25: caught chilli in it tastes blend. And so they're putting
Speaker 25: it in everything, and I hate it.
Speaker 3: You think it's a conspiracy, said stop.
Speaker 25: Well, I wish said stop. It's not about their taste buds.
Speaker 25: It's about us, the buyers. I have that hearing this,
Speaker 25: tell them.
Speaker 3: There must be lood love food, Chilian that.
Speaker 25: Was there, well, pies and pree made me awesome. Just
Speaker 25: you know, chicken this and the other thing. Everything that
Speaker 25: seems to have chili powder or chili flakes, chili oil.
Speaker 25: It's very bad for you.
Speaker 3: An interesting points, Susette, Thank you there we have that, Susette.
Speaker 3: Twenty three to ten minus Marcus, welcome, oh eight hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty self check out and also buying
Speaker 3: stuff online. We're not not like Timu, but buying your
Speaker 3: groceries and get them into Wow. I won't tell you
Speaker 3: what the last four texts are about, but I think
Speaker 3: you can guess. Marcus. The worst part of the Super
Speaker 3: Bowl experience for me is seeing people digging into the
Speaker 3: bottom of the meat packets. What are they looking for? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I try and stay well clear of the meat. Don't
Speaker 3: like all the wrapping. You're not a big fan of
Speaker 3: a wrap meat that you want to find a good butcher,
Speaker 3: look them in the eye or get your beasts killed yourself.
Speaker 4: And the old polar plunge a.
Speaker 3: Have been done over the years of a number of
Speaker 3: midwinter swims myself. The good thing about the midwinter swimming
Speaker 3: invert cargol right is that you could go to Audity
Speaker 3: Beach for radio promotion. But what you could do is
Speaker 3: because you can drive right onto the beach, one of
Speaker 3: the few beaches you can drive onto, and you drive
Speaker 3: your car. If I will drive your car onto the beach,
Speaker 3: and then you would crank the heater up to full
Speaker 3: and totally hot inside the car. You go do your
Speaker 3: pole a dip straight back in the car, cozy ass,
Speaker 3: then get your sausage. So not as brutal as a
Speaker 3: lot of those ones. We actually got to then walk
Speaker 3: back to the car. But if the car was right there, fantastic.
Speaker 3: Probably the best place in the country to a polar plunge,
Speaker 3: I'd say would be a safe beach to swim at
Speaker 3: to just been one shark attack, but I think someone
Speaker 3: and I think it was a Stingway attack. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: take by Stingray. The old got the old Stevo and
Speaker 3: rushed against the barb ended up in Q hospital. That's right,
Speaker 3: I remember that a couple of years back. Anyway, we
Speaker 3: are looking supermarket complaints. Oh Marcus, the plain disaster is
Speaker 3: so heartbreaking and to me now I won't even look
Speaker 3: online as I think it's abstutely disgusting. With AI generated
Speaker 3: clips all over social media, there won't be a true
Speaker 3: account until the black box information has been scrutinized. Nobody
Speaker 3: will get the truth, and let's hope they do get
Speaker 3: the truth. Feel so sad for so many families going
Speaker 3: to start new lives and beginning the new dreams. Great show.
Speaker 3: Thank your regards, Joey ten texts. Thank you, Jane. Put
Speaker 3: your surname to your texts to people. It's been a
Speaker 3: momentous night for talkback, isn't it really? With what just happened? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I whenever that happened? Had that happened before?
Speaker 1: Like that?
Speaker 3: Anyway? Oh, by the way, there's not a story that
Speaker 3: I know a lot about it about right. But as
Speaker 3: I was coming on here tonight, I was reading about
Speaker 3: Munga Fi north of Auckland and the sand spit, and
Speaker 3: they reckon it's gonna split like it did a number
Speaker 3: of years ago, and they record it's gonna leave to
Speaker 3: lead to feeted water and a property collapse and it
Speaker 3: could cost one hundred million dollars through loss and cameras.
Speaker 3: Does you wont know anything more about that? Because there's
Speaker 3: a non replenishable sand spit and all the sands migrating
Speaker 3: elsewhere because it's got a bit of a daft geology.
Speaker 3: It's kind of on a.
Speaker 4: Bend in a river.
Speaker 3: While inlet Good Evening, Brucett's Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 6: Good at Evening Marcus, he's talking about Susan markets.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 6: I have a problem now and again. I'll buy one
Speaker 6: of these small one dollar, one dollar fifty chocolate bars.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what what what brand? Like a bounty bar?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Like a milky once, Oh yep. And you pick
Speaker 6: it up and all the you pick it up and
Speaker 6: it's all loose because some little brat has gone along
Speaker 6: and broken all the segments.
Speaker 4: I've never ever experienced that Bruce.
Speaker 3: Ever, I've often.
Speaker 6: Never and I've shown them I could.
Speaker 3: I could feel that once I've picked it up, if
Speaker 3: it's been compromised, if it's not Stefphan Richard, I'd know
Speaker 3: that someone's well, well.
Speaker 6: I know that it has happened to me. I know
Speaker 6: when they got it home. So now I check it here.
Speaker 6: And the first one's not the only fish on the sea.
Speaker 3: I've never experienced a broken bar.
Speaker 6: Can I experience something? It had first first stand? Also
Speaker 6: the other night, so on Saturday, we went and bought
Speaker 6: a sixty fifth birthday card for a friend of mine
Speaker 6: who was having a party that night. And it's okay.
Speaker 6: I get it home and opened it up and there
Speaker 6: was a it was a I heard I heard it
Speaker 6: at the bookshop. I was at first, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 6: I love that too, and he'll he'll love that too.
Speaker 3: So I bore was a musical greeting card. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: I love those.
Speaker 6: And it cost about twelve dollars worth it.
Speaker 3: I've got a better, I've got one.
Speaker 6: That's right. But before I heard these young girls of
Speaker 6: about ten or eleven, and they were going around trying
Speaker 6: out all the cards. And when I heard that one
Speaker 6: I thought, oh, I like that. Anyway, I went and
Speaker 6: bought it and gave it to him. But I thought,
Speaker 6: I said, oh, just here, listened it once more and
Speaker 6: before I put it in the pile of cabs, and
Speaker 6: it didn't go.
Speaker 3: No for twelve dollars.
Speaker 6: Yes, but these little people go, these kids go around.
Speaker 3: I didn't do it, Bruce, I don't.
Speaker 4: I think you're paranoid.
Speaker 3: I think you think kids are breaking your bars and
Speaker 3: stealing your batteries. I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 6: It's happening. Why would I know that, I know that,
Speaker 6: I know it is.
Speaker 3: Why would the kids break a birthday cat? What was
Speaker 3: the tune?
Speaker 6: By the way, I can cannot remember.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's an indication. Thank you, Kathy.
Speaker 4: It's Marcus.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, how are you Marcus? Good?
Speaker 4: Thank you, Kathy.
Speaker 16: That's good.
Speaker 27: I used to fly quite a lot, and I was
Speaker 27: in the mind and I'll plan one hundreds of flights
Speaker 27: and I've never been nervous old socker flights from the
Speaker 27: prais two hours up to the mind. But I commuted
Speaker 27: from Perth to christ Church every two weeks for a
Speaker 27: couple of years, so I've done, you know, hundreds of
Speaker 27: flights of flight and between two thousand importing and two
Speaker 27: thousand and sixteen in New Zealand they received this new
Speaker 27: this new.
Speaker 3: Plane and.
Speaker 27: The same one that crashed and between two thousand and
Speaker 27: porteen and sixteen it was grounded a lot because of bolts,
Speaker 27: so we often had a replacement plane at that time.
Speaker 27: So and I never I may not fly on a
Speaker 27: lot and a lot of planes, and I never, even
Speaker 27: though it was really really amazing with the window screens
Speaker 27: and everything about it, I never felt actually that easy
Speaker 27: on them. So instead of flying from Perth to Auckland
Speaker 27: because that's what we got the dreamline before in New
Speaker 27: Zealand and and I flew from Perth to Melbourne through
Speaker 27: virginal Quantus and mean to christ chicks because I just
Speaker 27: didn't feel easy on them because they had such a
Speaker 27: rap report. Well, we had so many groundings between two
Speaker 27: thousand and fourteen, twenty and sixteen. And I'm not an expert,
Speaker 27: but I'm just wondering if anybody else remembers that, and if.
Speaker 3: Anybody else there was elaborate on that there was something
Speaker 3: wrong with their engines? Was it they need an engine replacements?
Speaker 3: Is that that's my understanding.
Speaker 27: Yes, there was quite a few we mistakes, and I
Speaker 27: really felt quite nervous going on them. But that was
Speaker 27: just my recall. But that's like ten years ago. If
Speaker 27: anybody else recalls that, I'd like to sort of hear.
Speaker 27: But no, you know, I went on the oldest planes
Speaker 27: to go to the mines, but I never felt comfortable
Speaker 27: flying on them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well, yeah, I mean, and there's been a
Speaker 3: lot of conjecture about Boeing in their race for profit,
Speaker 3: and you know, you know, there's been a lot of
Speaker 3: whistleblowers that have talked about some of the some of
Speaker 3: the corners they've cut. There was one plane I think
Speaker 3: that almost had a severe malfunction with a door that
Speaker 3: fortunately wasn't catastrophic, but that led to some inquiries that
Speaker 3: went to show that some of the practices weren't really
Speaker 3: that legitimate.
Speaker 27: Yeah, yeah, correct, But look, I'm not an e spirit
Speaker 27: at all, but our flow and are you know, hundreds
Speaker 27: of flights of quantus spirit and all of them all.
Speaker 13: To the mind.
Speaker 27: But for some reason, I never felt comfortable on the
Speaker 27: Dreamliner from the Press to Auckland because it was grounded
Speaker 27: so many times with Foltz when it first started If
Speaker 27: anybody else can add value to that, it'd be interesting
Speaker 27: to hear.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Kathy. I do know that the seventh fourth the
Speaker 3: seven eight to seven dreamline had been played by engine
Speaker 3: problems partially caused by the abundance of so called foreign
Speaker 3: object debris that bowing assembulne workers chronically be on aircraft
Speaker 3: components in their haste to move on to the next task.
Speaker 3: That's according to some of the whistleblowers. But look, surely
Speaker 3: that would be fairly easy to check, you would think,
Speaker 3: wouldn't you. But some of the reports of people that
Speaker 3: were whistleblowers do make you wonder the oversight in some
Speaker 3: of the areas of the manufacturing of the planes. Although look,
Speaker 3: I'm not an anxious flower. I don't fly a lot,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I would not put two and two together things.
Speaker 3: Oh well, this is time up that it would not
Speaker 3: worry me in the slightest. That's my take on that one, Marcus.
Speaker 3: I've worked in bookstores with those musical Trust me, they're
Speaker 3: hard to break. I've endured many a Christmas season with
Speaker 3: those cards near our corner.
Speaker 4: Yes, I had it's your Birthday. I had one.
Speaker 3: The kids loved it for years. I don't know what
Speaker 3: it was a.
Speaker 4: Barking dog, I think talking of sandbars.
Speaker 3: Apparently Farewell spit it's growing by six meters per year,
Speaker 3: and if it continues its current projection, it'll eventually come
Speaker 3: right back on itself and create a lake like Elsmere. Wow.
Speaker 3: I always feel I've traveled using in quite extensively, but
Speaker 3: my one weakness is Farewell Split.
Speaker 4: I've never been along it yet.
Speaker 3: That was funny. I've never experienced a compromised chocolate bar.
Speaker 3: Never what about that guy so paranoid Marcus? As a bachelor,
Speaker 3: I found you can learn a lot from watching the
Speaker 3: shopping a super market, both good and bad. One time
Speaker 3: I watched an elderly lady ginger having a box of
Speaker 3: eggs and thought watching doing that for a few weeks
Speaker 3: that I'd opened a pack of eggs and found one
Speaker 3: broken but had self glued so was broken before I
Speaker 3: bought them another. More annoying observations while standing in the
Speaker 3: fruit section, so many people squeeze all the fruit, and
Speaker 3: someone even buy any of the fruit. You're not a
Speaker 3: fruit squeezer. Potluck did as it back. I've been to
Speaker 3: three in the last month. We like to spot a trend.
Speaker 3: Here did they ever go away. Love a potluck? You
Speaker 3: don't know if I've ever been to a potluck. Probably
Speaker 3: one of those heartbreaking sentences I've ever said live on air,
Speaker 3: love to go to a potluck. US aircraft carry a
Speaker 3: steamed towards the Middle least after Trump issued threat to
Speaker 3: tay round his video show Iranians chanting death to Iatola
Speaker 3: in wake of Israeli missile blitz. Goodness. Yeah, probably after
Speaker 3: that dismal parade that he had, he probably thinking to
Speaker 3: do something slightly more impressive. A lot of people are
Speaker 3: texting about bars being broken at the supermarket. This text
Speaker 3: says Marcus, regarding your last call about broken bars with
Speaker 3: chocolate and supermarket. I complained to staff about scorch nut
Speaker 3: bars being broken the whole box FM. So the response
Speaker 3: with they are still okay if they are broken, that's
Speaker 3: from management of my local countdown. See your caller is correct,
Speaker 3: you must be the luckiest person you had had a
Speaker 3: broken bar of chocolate. He is right, Well, I've never
Speaker 3: had one. Bring back the seven four seven, someone said,
Speaker 3: and pot luck dinners three in the last month.
Speaker 4: What have you got people?
Speaker 3: Mainly it's about what we are where we are at
Speaker 3: with self check out. Also, if you're buying groceries online,
Speaker 3: are you finding that you're given vegetables at the end
Speaker 3: of their life, because that would be annoying, mind you.
Speaker 3: You might be asking for things around a season that
Speaker 3: all they've got. I guess that's the beauty of actually
Speaker 3: being in there. You can look at what fruit and
Speaker 3: produce they've got because they do shuffle through it quite regularly.
Speaker 3: By the way, today is fresh Veggie's Day. It's also
Speaker 3: fudge day. Um and you won't be able to buy
Speaker 3: disposable vapes from tomorrow. I don't know that's a good
Speaker 3: or a bad thing. I guess people that are writing
Speaker 3: into it would have stockpiled up. Would they just trouble
Speaker 3: all those bands? As people stockpile up, and then there'll
Speaker 3: be a lot of sort of there'd be a lot
Speaker 3: of um stock product floating around the market. Yeah. State
Speaker 3: highway delays continue for State Highway three. But it's doing
Speaker 3: quite a bad slip there. Oh, it looks terrible as
Speaker 3: a mudslide. Sixty minute waits stop go management, sixty minutes Wow.
Speaker 3: Restrictions will remain in place overnight and continue through the
Speaker 3: month of Eky weekend, so that's a big slip.
Speaker 4: What a beautiful bit of road. That is one of
Speaker 4: my favorite roads.
Speaker 3: Love that. Gorge New Zee and author Morris G has
Speaker 3: died age ninety three. A lot of you will have
Speaker 3: read his books. I just read Plumb quite recently actually,
Speaker 3: which is a great novel. He'd be living in Nelson,
Speaker 3: I think mainly he will from west Auckland, I think
Speaker 3: where he lived. I was fortunate enough to meet him
Speaker 3: and have a good chat room when I was on
Speaker 3: one of those West Talk and literary weekends. I was
Speaker 3: talking about the railways and we'd been on a steam
Speaker 3: train out towards Helensville, and he was great to chat to.
Speaker 3: That would have been about twenty years ago, So there
Speaker 3: we go. That's my story there, and that needs to
Speaker 3: be acknowledged. First, think I thought kids would go around
Speaker 3: breaking everything. I've never seen kids. I've always seen kids
Speaker 3: quite well disciplined in supermarkets' So I did struggle with
Speaker 3: that cool and also too, continue to discuss about that
Speaker 3: dreamline a plane.
Speaker 4: Is anyone freaked out about flying?
Speaker 3: On the back of all this thing, Most of us
Speaker 3: are pretty good about flying these days, aren't we get
Speaker 3: in touch? Eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty nine nine
Speaker 3: two sex. If you don't have talk about this or
Speaker 3: anyth else would love to hear from you, make yourselves
Speaker 3: known to me. And if there's something different you want
Speaker 3: to talk about, that's all good too. But mainly it's
Speaker 3: self check out, because don't ring up tomorrow and say
Speaker 3: you hate it. I say that was yesterday's topic. Today
Speaker 3: is today. We're talking about that. I'm just doing the lights,
Speaker 3: any bit of atmosphere going on and here. People normally
Speaker 3: do it now early, but I left mister my window.
Speaker 3: Come on, let's go. What turn one light? If hold
Speaker 3: your horses, guys is going to walk around the room,
Speaker 3: deedlyose of all the light?
Speaker 12: The light?

Speaker 3: truck drivers that can tell me how you're experiencing the
Speaker 3: whole situation with Aurpino as well, because it is a
Speaker 3: long delay if you're actually forced to wait for an hour. Wow. Yes,
Speaker 3: broken chocolate bars are common, especially crunchies. Don't blame the kids,
Speaker 3: it's damage from transport plumbers. Great thought the sequels even better.
Speaker 3: He so I read the sequels as well. I think
Speaker 3: one of the pigments had done one of those ones.
Speaker 3: I picked it up somewhere anyway, and the kid's books
Speaker 3: were good too. Fourteen past ten under the Mountain I
Speaker 3: think was a ripper Graham.
Speaker 4: It's Marcus.
Speaker 3: Welcome.
Speaker 4: Oh Marcus, good Graham, thank you, thanks for asking.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 10: Hey, Michaels. I've just listened to the radiation. I like
Speaker 10: the program, it's good. I enjoy it. But I've just
Speaker 10: listened to the news. And then you had the sports
Speaker 10: newze and it told us the results of the Gulf,
Speaker 10: but you didn't mention anything of there are good New
Speaker 10: Zealander old Foxy there? How did he get on with it?
Speaker 10: Where did he come?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 4: Big, your pardon? Then he was tired for nineteenth.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, why wasn't it on Why wasn't it on
Speaker 10: the news telling us how the New Zealand had got on?
Speaker 4: It was an hour ago, It wasn't ten.
Speaker 10: Minutes ago when I was listening to it, though.
Speaker 3: No, But there's a lot of information to get through.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know, But isn't that important? You know when
Speaker 10: I say important? Isn't there an interest in New Zealanders?
Speaker 3: I think all sorts of things are interesting to all
Speaker 3: sorts of different people in different ways. Really, I mean,
Speaker 3: no news bulletin has curated just to one person.
Speaker 10: No, it's not no, but it's an interest to New
Speaker 10: Zealand and I think. But anyway, I just thought i'd
Speaker 10: bring that up because I following it, and I thought,
Speaker 10: I wonder how you Foxy.
Speaker 4: Go when you say following it? What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 10: I listened to the news as it goes on at
Speaker 10: times when I'm on the radio, and then they say
Speaker 10: this is the latest news. Boom boom boom.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people have the Internet now
Speaker 3: and they're really interested in something can go and seek
Speaker 3: around rhining bed.
Speaker 10: I don't go on the internet.
Speaker 2: I listen to the radio.
Speaker 4: You sounding it but grumpy Graham, No, I'm not really No,
Speaker 4: you are you are?
Speaker 10: You're sound story.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's my take on you. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean see it with kindness.
Speaker 4: We'll try to. But yeah, I mean we're gonna people
Speaker 4: just trying.
Speaker 3: You know, there's all sorts of information they need to
Speaker 3: get out there, and the bulletins get varied from hour
Speaker 3: to hour. I mean, that's not my brief. I do
Speaker 3: the bulletin, but cheap as creepers I'll tell you what
Speaker 3: if you if you want to. If there's ever anyone
Speaker 3: that there's no shortage on the media, it's Fox. He's
Speaker 3: always on every bulletin because one of has great attributes
Speaker 3: is he's very much available to give interviews, extraordinarily available
Speaker 3: to give interviews. Ryan Fox, not his father obviously, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I think we hear a great detabate. It makes himself
Speaker 3: extremely available, and it says, Marcus, what I hate. It's
Speaker 3: been a maximum plus one degree all day here in Alexander.
Speaker 3: It's so cold. A heat pump doesn't like the cold,
Speaker 3: and we feel miserable, Marcus. The Progressive Dinner was a
Speaker 3: favorite of the nineteen seventies, related to the Potluck dinner,
Speaker 3: but the neighbors moved house to which course ninety five
Speaker 3: percent chance of prawn cocktail.
Speaker 4: Good times. They'll be coming back.
Speaker 3: I think what's coming back is the pot Luck, not
Speaker 3: the Progressive So we can talk about that as well
Speaker 3: as self check out. If there's something else you want
Speaker 3: to try your try your try your hand with be
Speaker 3: my guest, And what about Suzette with the ambient milk.
Speaker 3: People think that stuff's been tempered with. They think the
Speaker 3: batteries have been stolen from their cards, they think. I
Speaker 3: think the chocolate bars have been bent. Ten twenty four, Jamie,
Speaker 3: it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 24: Hey, how you going?
Speaker 2: Marcus?
Speaker 21: Good?
Speaker 4: Jamie, thank you? How are you going?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Good?
Speaker 24: I thought it was very funny. You asked, oh, mate,
Speaker 24: what tune that has card played? But his card was broken?
Speaker 3: Well, buddy, I think it heard the tune in the shop,
Speaker 3: and then he liked that tune. And then I couldn't
Speaker 3: quite work out the tideline of the call.
Speaker 24: But now yeah, yeah, it just made me laugh. But yeah,
Speaker 24: self checkout I like them just because generally you can
Speaker 24: get out of the score faster. But when I watched
Speaker 24: the wife like a machino, she could do a burgloaded,
Speaker 24: big load of shopping through the self checkout and probably
Speaker 24: five or ten minutes.
Speaker 3: So why does she self check out and not go
Speaker 3: to the counter.
Speaker 24: I think it's probably because when she was doing Uber
Speaker 24: Eats Coals deliveries, they just have like a card on
Speaker 24: their phone and then they just do self checkout and
Speaker 24: then they scan that card and then the customer gets
Speaker 24: built just learned how to get good at it.
Speaker 3: She stopped, she stopped, are you going.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 24: It was funny because she had a sort of a
Speaker 24: work friend that she met and they would try and
Speaker 24: scan the card and like buy heat the random stuff
Speaker 24: for themselves.
Speaker 22: I think, wow, yeah, yes, she's stopped doing it now
Speaker 22: because we moved.
Speaker 3: Do they not offer that service where you live?
Speaker 24: They've only just started uber eat and I'm king Heroy.
Speaker 3: Now, what's what's your town called?
Speaker 2: Manango?
Speaker 11: Menango in Yeah, in a in ad O.
Speaker 3: How many people?
Speaker 23: Ah, maybe like five or seven thousand sounds fantastic.
Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good there. We're like ten minutes
Speaker 24: out but yeah, the closest down but yeah sure, but
Speaker 24: we've been out there living there for a month now. Well,
Speaker 24: because it's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Why does the town exist?
Speaker 24: Uh, the oldest town in Queensland or maybe the third
Speaker 24: oldest town in Queensland from memory?
Speaker 4: Which would and why would it have been established?
Speaker 11: Coal mining?
Speaker 25: Nothing?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the extractive industries that'll be of course
Speaker 3: it'll be cole a. Yeah, you're right. Is it still there.
Speaker 24: Because there's yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a big we were
Speaker 24: you know, there's a power station not far from there.
Speaker 28: Burns cold yeah yeah yeah, yeah, cold fired. We were
Speaker 28: having yeah, we've studied the weather maps and the prevailing
Speaker 28: wind because we wanted to be up win from it.
Speaker 28: That was you know, because it's just was cheap so
Speaker 28: we could afford sort of out there.
Speaker 24: Yeah, we want to live too close thought, we want
Speaker 24: to be up win, and so we went through the
Speaker 24: whole room in the role to find the right spot.
Speaker 3: And it's and it's been success. It's been successful. You're
Speaker 3: not you're not down win from the chimney.
Speaker 24: No, No, we can't smell. We're probably further enough away
Speaker 24: that we wouldn't smell at anyway. But yeah, we're probably
Speaker 24: got forty ks away from it.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, good on you doing. And the place has
Speaker 3: worked out well, yeah.
Speaker 14: That's real good.
Speaker 24: Yeah, because the only thing is the seven year old.
Speaker 24: He's got to expended from school a couple of times.
Speaker 3: But yeah, suspend seven, Yeah.
Speaker 24: I know he's go going to get ad EHD looked
Speaker 24: at for that class to leave. Yeah, he's just a little.
Speaker 4: Purists, a lot of wire, is he.
Speaker 24: Yeah, he's a harder goal when he's when he's not
Speaker 24: having attention, But when he's having attention, there's no reasoning
Speaker 24: with him.
Speaker 3: Patient's suspended more than once.
Speaker 24: This is the first time. Yeah, a couple of times
Speaker 24: we go to school and coming down and the whole
Speaker 24: class lift of the room. It's very so long. Well,
Speaker 24: but he's actually been better less, he's been better out
Speaker 24: there on land than he has where we lived in Logan.
Speaker 18: Yeah, help them.
Speaker 24: Yeah, he just said to me he doesn't like school,
Speaker 24: so he just plays up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well, good luck with that. Jamie enter at
Speaker 3: Smarcus Welcome.
Speaker 21: Oh, I find you up to tell you how much
Speaker 21: I did tist so self checkout machines.
Speaker 3: It's the spirit.
Speaker 11: I hate them.
Speaker 3: You always have, or you hate them more because they're
Speaker 3: getting worse.
Speaker 21: I've always hated them. I'm seventy six years old. I
Speaker 21: can't see properly, i can't hear properly, and I'm too
Speaker 21: old and grumpy and bad tempered to be bothered with
Speaker 21: trying to find buttons on the machines, trying to scan it,
Speaker 21: trying to find where to put my card, where to
Speaker 21: put a bank note. It's just I'm not doing it,
Speaker 21: and I'm not doing it to the extent. If that's
Speaker 21: my choice, I will just abandon my shopping and walk
Speaker 21: out right and the best place to do it, of course,
Speaker 21: I also call cash flow machines. I think they're also
Speaker 21: to self checkout in my book. And the best place
Speaker 21: to be very adamant about what you will do and
Speaker 21: what you won't do is standing in a queue at
Speaker 21: the bank, because quite often a park will walk along
Speaker 21: and say what do you need? And I say, oh,
Speaker 21: I need, you know, my regular one hundred dollars worth
Speaker 21: a five dollar bills out and they turn around, they
Speaker 21: say follow me, and I watch them walk all the
Speaker 21: way down the bank through the sliding door, they get
Speaker 21: to the cash flow machine, They're turned around and they
Speaker 21: suddenly realize I'm still standing in the queue watching them,
Speaker 21: because I just refuse.
Speaker 28: To do it.
Speaker 3: Great people will be curious about one hundred and five
Speaker 3: dollar notes there twenty five dollar eights hundred dollars worth.
Speaker 21: Oh that's my coffee money.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 21: I have a coffee every day. It's the only thing
Speaker 21: that I do that's a rankly extravagant. And I make
Speaker 21: a point of having coffee money because quite often now
Speaker 21: with the f boss going down, oh in shops and
Speaker 21: banks and regular places, it's becoming more of a than
Speaker 21: a sha trying to use a card somewhere. I was
Speaker 21: in the coffee shop the other day and Friday morning
Speaker 21: and the if post had gone down. I was the
Speaker 21: only one that had cash and could pay for it
Speaker 21: and the bill, and the girl behind the counter said, well,
Speaker 21: we used to actually write down amounts, names and phone numbers.
Speaker 21: But she said, so few people came back and.
Speaker 11: Pay, really do it?
Speaker 21: Yes?
Speaker 4: I thought they'd be regulars.
Speaker 21: Well, they are regulars, but they won't pay. If they
Speaker 21: can't use their card, they won't pay, obviously. And I
Speaker 21: was shocked by that because you see the same people. Yes,
Speaker 21: I was really shocked by that, because you see the
Speaker 21: same people at the same time almost every day.
Speaker 3: I thought, sorry about that, Steve, here's your ten dollars
Speaker 3: for yees today. I thought there'd be all people coming
Speaker 3: in saying that.
Speaker 11: Yes, maybe in a.
Speaker 21: Small town of yew zeven, but it's not really not
Speaker 21: where I live in the central So beg to.
Speaker 4: You, anna, So.
Speaker 3: If you go to supermarkets so there's no people will checkout,
Speaker 3: will you go somewhere else?
Speaker 21: Yeah, I'll just leave my shop and trolley and everything
Speaker 21: in it, including the ice cream, and just go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Great, And do you find there are places with self
Speaker 3: check with actual tell us actual checkouts.
Speaker 21: Now, well, it depends on the day, and it depends
Speaker 21: on the supermarket. I mean, what one supermarket is doing
Speaker 21: on one day because they haven't got the staff, another
Speaker 21: supermarket will be doing. And of course where I live,
Speaker 21: there's so many supermarkets and shops anyway, and there's also
Speaker 21: if I need something in the way of meat and vetties,
Speaker 21: there's also the Fruit World and Pharaoh places like that.
Speaker 21: So I don't have a I don't have a limited selection.
Speaker 21: I just choose to collect what I will do and
Speaker 21: where I will do it.
Speaker 3: I think people are doing it because I can't get
Speaker 3: Do you think Super Mac's doing it because they can't
Speaker 3: get the stuff?
Speaker 21: Well, that's an excuse, excuse, that's what they're reasoning is.
Speaker 4: I have never heard them say that. I just thought
Speaker 4: it was just greed.
Speaker 21: But well, you know, I say, well, the queue, there's
Speaker 21: ten people in the queue, there's one one checkout open,
Speaker 21: plus a couple of the self checkouts. Why are there
Speaker 21: no more regular checkouts? Oh, we don't have the stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never heard them say that, So I don't
Speaker 3: know if that's I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 21: Well, maybe at the other end of the country. It's
Speaker 21: it's more.
Speaker 3: Oh, they're still getting rid of they get rid of
Speaker 3: the right around the country. I think that I think
Speaker 3: the move is towards less of them.
Speaker 21: M hmm, right. I mean if I go into Kama
Speaker 21: in Saint Luke's let's say a Saturday morning, the queue is,
Speaker 21: you know, it's like the sheep herding pens. There's at
Speaker 21: least six of the lines are full, like in an airport.
Speaker 3: How do you cut with places like Kmart, Well, I have.
Speaker 21: To be really desperate to go there.
Speaker 11: And of course the thing.
Speaker 21: About it is I've moved away. If I can get
Speaker 21: something online, I will in preference to go to the
Speaker 21: shop and centers or supermarkets or anything like that. If
Speaker 21: I can get it online, I will count down as
Speaker 21: the brilliant grocery delivery. You said earlier about your end
Speaker 21: of life produce.
Speaker 2: But I can't get much.
Speaker 3: That's what people have said to me. I've never done
Speaker 3: an online shop. I'm agnostic with that. It's not something
Speaker 3: that's in my realm.
Speaker 21: When I shop online for food and groceries most of
Speaker 21: the time. And of course I've also discovered team Now
Speaker 21: you don't know that's what I said. When I started,
Speaker 21: I thought, oh, you know, my credit card's going to
Speaker 21: get hacked. Things are going to.
Speaker 3: Go about that. My concern is just the extraordinary amount
Speaker 3: of junk that people don't need that they're buying.
Speaker 21: Well, you can count me in there.
Speaker 3: What are you getting.
Speaker 21: Mostly winter clothing at the moment.
Speaker 3: A hack hack start? Oh yeah, fair enough, and.
Speaker 21: They're a fraction of the price that they are in
Speaker 21: the retail shops to begin with. I felt guilty. I thought,
Speaker 21: my money is going out of New Zealand. Oh it
Speaker 21: shouldn't really, I should, you know, support the local retailers.
Speaker 21: And then I saw on the news what the government
Speaker 21: is doing and I thought, nope, nope. I mean they're
Speaker 21: bringing all sorts of people into the country to work
Speaker 21: and the money is going straight back out of the country.
Speaker 21: And I've spent a total of about two hundred and
Speaker 21: seventy dollars and I thought, I'm not going to feel
Speaker 21: guilty about that.
Speaker 3: Lovely to hear from me any thank you to the
Speaker 3: texts the supermarket, sure, and not having trouble having staff
Speaker 3: troubles when they have no hard time doing how many
Speaker 3: interlevel workers at entry level jobs when they expect a
Speaker 3: whole of experience from someone.
Speaker 4: Straight out of high school.
Speaker 3: Surely can't be their excuse for increasing the self service checkouts.
Speaker 3: I love checkout self checkout. It's one of my grandchildren
Speaker 3: showed me how to do it. I've never looked back.
Speaker 3: My friend told me off for using them and said
Speaker 3: I was selfish. I asked them at the superman, I
Speaker 3: said no, they can't get staff. I noticed mostly their
Speaker 3: older woman working there. I never thought it's about staffing.
Speaker 3: I had to test self checkout, refused to use them all.
Speaker 3: Like the last caller, I always have cash for my coffee.
Speaker 3: I think she's just getting a coffee for five dollars.
Speaker 3: I was wondering about that. Also in the Orkland CBD,
Speaker 3: they might be going, I don't know, we should get
Speaker 3: in a coffee for five bucks. Self service at supermarket
Speaker 3: is so the boss doesn't have to pay staff. I
Speaker 3: love self checkout unless you're buying something like alcohol or
Speaker 3: nuclear fission material, and then you need to wait for
Speaker 3: supervisor check you're old enough. Quite often now they're stopping
Speaker 3: me and saying, oh, can we just check that. Sorry.
Speaker 3: They seem to have been having a People must be
Speaker 3: stealing up to stuff. Because probably every second time they're
Speaker 3: coming along and checking an item I'm buying to make
Speaker 3: sure I'm putting it through what it is. And I'm
Speaker 3: not an erratic shopper. I wouldn't think, Marcus, I'm sixty
Speaker 3: five plus the news countdown online three times and said
Speaker 3: no replacement, so they don't have the goods, but they
Speaker 3: just ignored us put another much dearer item in, so
Speaker 3: I won't use that now.
Speaker 4: That's the other thing we are discussing is your own
Speaker 4: buying online.
Speaker 3: I work in retelling it. Indeed, say short staffing is
Speaker 3: a cause to many of our stores problems, the front team,
Speaker 3: customer service, and check out team members. Lately we've only
Speaker 3: had two staff members on rather than the rosted five.
Speaker 3: The only problem with high school students they can't work
Speaker 3: the weekends because of a school and definitely don't want
Speaker 3: to work weekends to the ego. So it might be
Speaker 3: to do with the amount of pay they're paying people. Ah,
Speaker 3: there'll be the other stretch there if they can't get staff,
Speaker 3: so I can't imagine. The hours are always fantastic. Yes,
Speaker 3: fourteen to eleven Raymond as Marcus, welcome in good evening.
Speaker 8: How are you going mate.
Speaker 3: Good, Thanks Raymond. You're going all right?
Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty good. I've just come through a Wisceno Gorge
Speaker 8: about an hour and a half ago. It's all open.
Speaker 8: We're up north about three flop this afternoon it was open,
Speaker 8: no hold ups. It's all clear now, the roads roads clear.
Speaker 8: I'll be weary about more rain though, because the ravene
Speaker 8: the mudslide came down, is about fifteen k long. So
Speaker 8: a friend of mine owns that land up there. Something's
Speaker 8: burst up the top of the lake, up the top
Speaker 8: and it's all come down through the gully. So the
Speaker 8: ravine impulse, all the mud out is the road?
Speaker 3: Is the road just a temporary fix? Because I did
Speaker 3: see they have more They had our long closures plan there.
Speaker 3: Maybe that was an old story, but that seemed to
Speaker 3: be one that I had today. There was from two
Speaker 3: PP and that was reporting that they're going to have
Speaker 3: our long delays.
Speaker 8: No, they just had a digger behind the build a
Speaker 8: big bank out of paper and clay on the side
Speaker 8: of the road. There's a digger down a behind that
Speaker 8: and he's dug a trench so that anything coming down
Speaker 8: the hill goes parallel.
Speaker 11: With the road.
Speaker 3: Sure understand, Yeah, okay, So that's okay.
Speaker 8: But I went through on Thursday about three point thirty
Speaker 8: in the afternoon going north and came down just after that,
Speaker 8: so I got stuck, couldn't get back, stayed at Cave's
Speaker 8: motel and for the night. Went through to Puopoo about
Speaker 8: nine in the morning, had breakfast and we got lipped
Speaker 8: through about ten o'clock. But on the way from Puopou
Speaker 8: to the slip more mud came down.
Speaker 11: So we're.
Speaker 8: At the slip and had to wait three hours for
Speaker 8: them to clear that. And after they led us through
Speaker 8: and the heavy traffic that was stuck on the other side,
Speaker 8: it was only heavy chain they lit through because the
Speaker 8: depth of the mud, and after they cleared both ends,
Speaker 8: they shut the road down again until Saturday.
Speaker 3: Sure, okay, so that must be a message slide.
Speaker 4: How's about message?
Speaker 2: You go?
Speaker 8: It's pretty impressive look and actually it's more like a lahart.
Speaker 3: Yeah sounds like it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, very liquid. We drove through about six inches of
Speaker 8: slopping mud on the on the way back on Friday.
Speaker 3: Probably kind of kind of lucky that didn't wiped someone
Speaker 3: out when it came down.
Speaker 8: I think it was probably moving too slow. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 8: The first push apparently was pretty thick, and it sort
Speaker 8: of got more liquid as the rain fell and water
Speaker 8: down a bit. But Messenger seems to be coming along.
Speaker 8: And see down to the tunnel entrance by the steps.
Speaker 8: If you know the Messenger, these are really winder bit.
Speaker 8: We can see down there to the steps and off
Speaker 8: the steps into the entrance of the tunnel.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah. I was quite impressed when I was down
Speaker 3: there two months ago how much you could see. But
Speaker 3: I don't think they started tunneling them, but you could
Speaker 3: certainly see what wea they're about to go.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're bringing out the drilled out material now.
Speaker 3: And do they use that to make the road that
Speaker 3: the dump the overburden or whatever it's called.
Speaker 8: No, I think that that cadn't They had a way
Speaker 8: to a dump side about three k's down the road.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably one of the most it's one of
Speaker 3: the most significant roading projects I've seen for a long while.
Speaker 3: It's pretty oppressive. Raymond, thanks so much. That's good intel.
Speaker 3: But we're talking about self check out. Tell me why
Speaker 3: you hate it. It was interesting because when it first
Speaker 3: came on, there's a sort of pride about them. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a pride using it. He managed to work out
Speaker 3: how to do it. Then they kept coming over and think,
Speaker 3: hang on, I've got this for self. It was pretty
Speaker 3: annoying when they sort of hover and watch over you
Speaker 3: when you could do it. But recently I've noticed it's
Speaker 3: just become much more fuss with them actually coming and
Speaker 3: checking items. And it seems as are the supermarkets themselves
Speaker 3: have realized there must be a lot of leakage going
Speaker 3: on there. And I guess that's because of the cost
Speaker 3: of learing crisis because people are church mouse poor and
Speaker 3: imagine people trying to gain the system. That would be
Speaker 3: my take on that one. So Soundra it's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 13: Oh thank you, Marcus. Nice to be part of your show,
Speaker 13: The Self Cheekout.
Speaker 23: I really like them.
Speaker 3: I'll go in.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I do. Because when you walk along and
Speaker 13: you've got a few items and you see queues of
Speaker 13: people with loaded shopping trolleys, yeah, why wait bloom and
Speaker 13: hours or it seems like ours when you can go
Speaker 13: through the self checkouts and be out quickly.
Speaker 3: You know, if you're for a short thing, it's for
Speaker 3: two or three items, it's a godsend.
Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 13: It is not if you've got a loaded shopping trolley,
Speaker 13: I wouldn't even attempt it. But just a few items
Speaker 13: by all means I love it. And also at Woolworths
Speaker 13: they have the facility that you can get money out
Speaker 13: and they don't. It doesn't charge you in exorbitant fee.
Speaker 13: It doesn't charge you anything for doing it.
Speaker 3: It's good Intel Sunder thank you. Last time I mentioned
Speaker 3: that someone came through that I wasn't watchare how that worked?
Speaker 3: But check out? You cannot scan brown onions normally these
Speaker 3: days in Auckland. I got checked last week as they
Speaker 3: would not scan because onions are cheap and too many
Speaker 3: people scan peaches, grapes and other stuff in a brown
Speaker 3: paper bag as onions. What will they charge you with
Speaker 3: when they catch you? Is a deception? Is it theft?
Speaker 3: I don't even know if there's a lesser charge. We're
Speaker 3: trying to pretend you're paying for it?
Speaker 11: Is there?
Speaker 3: So I might know self? Check out the f Post machief.
Speaker 3: The f Post machine failed to read my card and
Speaker 3: keep rejecting my card and canceled my card and I
Speaker 3: had to go to the bank to get my card fixed.
Speaker 3: After three rejections have blocked my card. Now I won't
Speaker 3: go near self checkout machines. My local supermarket has seen
Speaker 3: people wait for personal checkouts over the self checkout. There
Speaker 3: are eight self checkouts available most of the time, they're
Speaker 3: all free, and the two checkouts have people waiting. I
Speaker 3: am not the only person who has cards rejected. I'd
Speaker 3: say what's happened tonight is most people that have rung
Speaker 3: up are opposed to self checkouts.
Speaker 4: Mind you.
Speaker 3: They're motivated to call Shane. It's Marcus, welcome, ay.
Speaker 23: Marcus.
Speaker 3: Good, thank you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, look, well, a self checker.
Speaker 23: I love that stuff. It's it's fantastic. I hate standing
Speaker 23: in queues and having my stuff packed out and back
Speaker 23: in and back out. I just love to you to
Speaker 23: put the stuff in the trolley, push it out and
Speaker 23: put in my car.
Speaker 8: It just makes more.
Speaker 23: Sense to me.
Speaker 4: So hang on.
Speaker 3: So you like to scan it and put it from
Speaker 3: one trolley into the other.
Speaker 23: No, No, you packed your trolley while you're shopping. You
Speaker 23: scan the stuff yourself.
Speaker 4: With the scan You love the scanner. You love the scanner.
Speaker 23: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, because otherwise the practiced though, you've
Speaker 23: got to practice about the trolley at the checker, and
Speaker 23: then you've got to go pack back. It's a big fuss.
Speaker 23: It's too much drama, and then you've got to explain
Speaker 23: how your day was, and it's too much. I deal
Speaker 23: with that.
Speaker 11: I'd like to kind of just leave so.
Speaker 3: As you go around you can put it into your
Speaker 3: bags as well that you've bought.
Speaker 11: An with you exactly exactly.
Speaker 23: And I mean they've got a system. If you constantly
Speaker 23: check your stuff really well, they never check you. I
Speaker 23: mean I'm pretty good at that. I'm very very you know,
Speaker 23: I'll scan absolutely everything. I never miss anything. They used
Speaker 23: to check me, but I haven't been checked in about
Speaker 23: the lost many times I've been there.
Speaker 3: Hey, I think we've done that a number of times
Speaker 3: and we've always been checked. Do they have a file
Speaker 3: on you so they report if it's been legitimate, because
Speaker 3: I didn't see that coming back.
Speaker 23: To any ID. They scan your card so they know
Speaker 23: exactly who you are, because you could have scan your
Speaker 23: pack and save card.
Speaker 24: And I think about it.
Speaker 23: When you go the first few times, I'll check you
Speaker 23: X amount of times. If you make a mistake, you'll
Speaker 23: they won't check five items, they'll check ten items. And
Speaker 23: if you do it if you make a mistake the
Speaker 23: third time, they'll check you every time. But I don't know.
Speaker 23: I've got checked maybe every ten times, but lately they
Speaker 23: don't check me at all at all.
Speaker 3: Ever, I wonder why the other supermarkets aren' wheeling it out.
Speaker 23: I don't know. I don't know, but for me, it works,
Speaker 23: and I don't mind. If somebody takes five eyes, it
Speaker 23: doesn't bother me. Yeah, you know. And if a packing
Speaker 23: are tolley out, that means you've made a mistake several times. Yeah,
Speaker 23: then it's you, not them.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 3: I just didn't know that.
Speaker 4: Do you need to have a Peck and Save card
Speaker 4: to do that?
Speaker 23: Yeah? I know exactly who you are.
Speaker 3: No, I'm asking I'm asking a question, Shane. Do you
Speaker 3: need to have a Peck and Safe card to do
Speaker 3: the sales? I didn't realize that. I just started with Vanessa.
Speaker 3: I wasn't quite sure because I didn't think she had
Speaker 3: a Peck and Save card. No, you do.
Speaker 23: What happens is you walk in. There's a whole little
Speaker 23: screen there, you go and scan your pack and save
Speaker 23: card and then it will highlight one of the scanners
Speaker 23: and you take the scanner.
Speaker 3: And you go in yeah, okay, one of the other supermacs,
Speaker 3: one of the other supermake is going to adopt it.
Speaker 9: I hope.
Speaker 14: So personally I hope because I hope.
Speaker 23: So there's a lot of stuff that I can't get
Speaker 23: it at a pack and say, but I go there
Speaker 23: in any way because I just love it.
Speaker 4: How many people? Many people doing it?
Speaker 10: In my head?
Speaker 23: Yes, okay, but that could be me. You know, you've
Speaker 23: got everybody doing that middle thing. I mean, I still
Speaker 23: if only by two or three items, I'll go directly.
Speaker 23: You know, I'll do the self checkout. But if I've
Speaker 23: got a lot of stuff, I'll do the scan go.
Speaker 3: Yep, okay.
Speaker 4: Love you is to read.
Speaker 3: If it's Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 24: I'm Marcus.
Speaker 2: It is training.
Speaker 18: I'm calling from Ahmedabad is the city where recently the
Speaker 18: plane crash happened.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you for cooling.
Speaker 18: Okay, So a few things. I don't know if you're
Speaker 18: aware the plane crashed into one building. I don't know
Speaker 18: if there is International media is kind of mentioning that.
Speaker 18: But the tragedy is that building contained people who were
Speaker 18: studying for medicine, basically like a third year fourth year
Speaker 18: medical students. So from the news here, I understood almost
Speaker 18: nine of those young guys that also a part of
Speaker 18: the two hundred and forty one people died in the flight.
Speaker 18: There is also these people fulled in the building. Some
Speaker 18: of them also died. They were having lunch. I mean,
Speaker 18: it didn't happen. I think there are only one forty
Speaker 18: five PM So that is also one where he set
Speaker 18: part of the story.
Speaker 3: Because there must be there must have been a number
Speaker 3: of because did they say that this toll was about
Speaker 3: three hundred?
Speaker 4: Were there were there more people killed than just those
Speaker 4: in the hostel?
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, so this is not one area which
Speaker 18: is empty, it's pulled with apartment buildings. So I mean,
Speaker 18: I'm not surprised if the number is three hundred and
Speaker 18: in fact, well I saw the place and if by luck,
Speaker 18: if the plane had crashed maybe one kilometer ahead, there
Speaker 18: was one important hospital, so that would have been even
Speaker 18: more disastrous. Yeah, was overall one and margin one in
Speaker 18: that day. The same very day, in the morning, I
Speaker 18: took one Air India flight out to Bahmedabad and oh
Speaker 18: my god, when I heard the news, it was we're
Speaker 18: still not so let's say, I cannot believe this has happened.
Speaker 3: Not normal so were you not there on the day
Speaker 3: that the quest You're out of the a bit of
Speaker 3: bad for the day when that had happened. Yeah, okay, correct.
Speaker 18: I had to come back the same day, but they
Speaker 18: had closed the airport for a few hours, so I
Speaker 18: had to took another I had to take another flight
Speaker 18: in the next morning. But by the time the airport
Speaker 18: was working. I mean, this specific flight was flying from
Speaker 18: the terminal two, which is the international one, but I
Speaker 18: was taking the domestic one. But now more or less
Speaker 18: all the flights are working well. But also there are
Speaker 18: some important people who died inside the flight. There is
Speaker 18: this province. The name of the province is Gujarat, the
Speaker 18: ex chief minister. He also died in the playing press.
Speaker 18: And in fact, a few days back, the Prime Minister
Speaker 18: of India, Narnamodi, was here and he met the guy
Speaker 18: you were mentioning. It's a lucky, miraculous survivor just happened
Speaker 18: to kind of. His signum was eleven A and he
Speaker 18: was in front of the emergency gate. Somehow the gate
Speaker 18: was opened. He could get out, but his brother was
Speaker 18: also in the flight. He died and now I think
Speaker 18: he's in the hospital. So he was also one crazy story.
Speaker 4: What's the mood of the city like at the moment.
Speaker 24: It's quite sad.
Speaker 18: It's quite sad. It's firstly it's disbelief because it never
Speaker 18: has happened this kind of thing, at least in my lifestyle.
Speaker 18: I say, last ten to fifteen years of flying. It's
Speaker 18: not so normal. And Ahmedabad doesn't have too many international
Speaker 18: flights for that kind of range. Means the Air India
Speaker 18: flights to New York and England in some cases. But
Speaker 18: to have one Dreamliner crash like that was people are
Speaker 18: still adjusting to the fact.
Speaker 3: Do you think that they will be from families that
Speaker 3: are looking for answers that if they don't get answers soon,
Speaker 3: that that will be lead to frustration and anger. We
Speaker 3: often see scenes that they went when they don't get
Speaker 3: ansced about why something happens.
Speaker 4: Do you think that would happen in this situation.
Speaker 18: I hope now they would be a bit more with
Speaker 18: a new technology these days, with social media, everything is
Speaker 18: quite transparent. I don't think they can hide any information.
Speaker 18: What I know is Air India is arranging flights for
Speaker 18: many many people, means the relatives of the disease and
Speaker 18: they're kind of bringing them to Amadaba because also one
Speaker 18: thing is to notice is people are burned and the
Speaker 18: bodies are charged completely. So they also asked even we
Speaker 18: went for one blood donation, but okay, didn't work because
Speaker 18: everybody dies.
Speaker 2: They're checking the.
Speaker 18: DNA and they will notify the next kin and till
Speaker 18: now they have managed the situation in this bad ndition
Speaker 18: quite well. But in the next few days we will
Speaker 18: know exactly why it crash. Means now the story is
Speaker 18: developing and it seemed there was an engine failure, so
Speaker 18: the teams have been notified, so hopefully they will get
Speaker 18: some kind of closer. But still, I mean, it's not
Speaker 18: let's say, justification for the things, and people are not
Speaker 18: happy in the sad situation.
Speaker 3: Love you to talk. Thank you so much. I appreciate
Speaker 3: you making the effort. Sorry, thanks so much for that
Speaker 3: good evening, Harvey. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16: Market, You've got to be smart. And uh, you know,
Speaker 16: I don't cheat on anything. I used to when I
Speaker 16: was in the Navy. I said, it's a new world
Speaker 16: in Devenport. We used to go and buy luncheon and
Speaker 16: put ham in. But that's that's another story that was

Speaker 3: twenty six eleven Marcus. I love self check out. I'm
Speaker 3: a big interrovert, but I work in a small retail store.
Speaker 3: I serve a majority of customers through the day and
Speaker 3: have to engage a lot of small talk. If you
Speaker 3: have to go to the soupermak after work, I always
Speaker 3: use self check out to avoid having make small talk
Speaker 3: and get out of the shop quicker. There we go.
Speaker 3: That goes good. From Indy Wannie twenty seven past eleven.
Speaker 3: My name is Marcus hurdled twelve. Oh wait, one hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty to ten. If you want to be a

Speaker 3: that Sky has not showing the England and Cricket in
Speaker 3: England in their Cricket series in England starting this Friday.
Speaker 3: I presume that would be on YouTube, wouldn't it. I
Speaker 3: think all the sport's going to end up on YouTube.
Speaker 3: That would be my take. But yeah, I'm hearing you
Speaker 3: because not much else on Sky Sporting moment. We've got
Speaker 3: a State of origent this week, haven't we. It's a
Speaker 3: bit too full on the State of Origin, I've decided.

Speaker 3: a bit too full on this time. Oh by the way,
Speaker 3: if you want to go out and tell us how
Speaker 3: cold it is out there, tonight freezing. But what is
Speaker 3: an alex at the moment. I'll tell you three degrees

Speaker 3: zero in Queenstown zero and Tapanui zero in middle March,
Speaker 3: so it is cold zero and Arrowtown.
Speaker 4: Zero at the moment in Vicago.
Speaker 3: We will be the coldest we'll see. It is an
Speaker 3: Omerico zero getting down to minus two at sunrise, so
Speaker 3: there will be a frost for a lot of you
Speaker 3: on your cars. Just so you know, you can go
Speaker 3: and put the newspaper or the shade cloth or whatever
Speaker 3: you like to do. Rub it with a potato, and
