DOWN to a woman employed at a local business. I have never met such a rude person. When I go to the yard you are yelling, swearing and talking badly about other customers. We like to look around, but you take the goodness out of our visit with your thoughtless, rude remarks. It’s people like you who lose good customers. I’m a regular and have seen many others just leave their items and walk out because of your rudeness. This is appalling to think that this woman is still working and the owner has done nothing about it. Service like this should not be tolerated, especially in Wagga. (Contributed)
DOWN to the person who did not hand in the sunglasses they picked up at Kooringal Woolworths on Sunday, April 20. By not handing them in, you have cost a pensioner $75 for a new pair. (Contributed)
DOWN to a local café. Not only are they extremely slow in their service, but when I received it 50 minutes after ordering it, there was a hair in my meal. The parking ticket I received due to your long delay in meal orders was the icing on the cake. (Contributed)
DOWN to the lowlife who is baiting dogs in the Tolland area. It is obviously not OK to poison other people’s dogs, yet it is OK to allow their dogs to bark all night while neighbours are trying to sleep. Give me a break! Although I can certainly understand people’s anger at excessive barking, if some dog owners in Tolland had more control over their dogs, then maybe some people wouldn’t turn criminal just for a decent night’s sleep. I hear pet stores have spray and tone-collars these days. (Contributed)
DOWN to the three readers who responded to my thumbs down (April 30) in the May 7 edition. You three did not read my issue properly. My issue was in relation to the council’s lack of planning of an acceleration lane for the Red Hill Road bypass. The bypass was council funded and built, not RTA. If you had read it properly, I was giving an example of a fact that a vehicle turns out on to the Olympic Highway there is a need for the driver to put his or her foot to the floor to get to the 100km/h before a vehicle is right in your rear vision mirror – be it a truck, car or motorcycle. And in relation to your comments about speed limiters, I’m assuming you have not left Wagga on too many occasions and travelled north or south. I know that truck drivers are prone to not sticking to the 100km/h as has been seen by my personal experiences, ie the freeway has a speed limit of 110km/h. However, doing a little more than the speed limit less 10 per cent at 115km/h, I still have trucks passing me.
Or even more proof is the stories in the past about speeding trucks on ACA and Today Tonight on how the speed limiters can be disconnected and log books forged. And this is more than a few as one reader put it. So next time, read the article right. (Contributed)
DOWN to the service station which advertised unleaded fuel at 10.30am for 149.9 then had changed the price to 155.9 when I drove back past at 1pm. (Contributed)
DOWN to the people who are riding their horses around the Lake Albert walking track. While I am not against horses using the track – assuming they are permitted to do so – I am against having to dodge piles of horse manure left on the track. For sighted walkers this is very annoying, but what about the vision impaired man who uses the track most days of the week? If dog owners have to pick up their dog’s droppings, shouldn’t horse riders have to do the same on a public walking path? (Contributed)
