Hey @Qantas, disappointed with my national carrier at the moment - promises of phone calls back with resolution to issues but a week later and radio silence from your staff. Seems no email contact is possible either? How can I get things resolved if you never call me back.
Can @Qantas please reply to my DM from last week? Need some help with an upcoming booking.
I don't know if @OfficialBlueyTV has a preferred AFL team, but I reckon if she did...
I feel like I mostly use @twitter (still calling it by its real name) to complain. I think that needs to change. So I'm going to make a conscious effort to tweet more positive and edu related stuff. Let's see how long this lasts...
Been a week and @AppleSupport @Apple clearly aren't interested in helping me resolve an issue.
There are only so many times a person should hear an @Officeworks ad while standing in a @metrotrains platform. Reckon I've heard their back to school ad 20 times while waiting for my train at MelbCentral. Surely there's a volume switch somewhere.
Shout out to the @metrotrains driver of the 1.41pm from Canterbury (towards Ringwood). My 3yo was waving as the train pulled in and the driver waved back. Then when we alighted at Union, 3yowaved again, driver opened his door and gave us another wave.
Little things make a huge impact. All the way home my boy was talking about "the train waved at me". So thanks to this particular @metrotrains driver for making his day.
Self serve checkouts have their place, for people who want to use them. My local @Coles has heaps including conveyor belt ones. No lines. My local @woolworths has less, no conveyor belt ones. At least 15 people waiting plus long queues at each normal checkout.
I thought there was a public sector wages cap of 2%pa, or has that been removed?

This is at Box Hill Station, down end of platform 3. Trains (from Ringwood) pull in to the platform, I assume lining up with the platform hump at the up end for alighting passengers. Which means no alignment at the down end for passengers heading towards Ringwood.
I want to share this, because today my 2yo son nearly fell between the train and the platform while trying to board, due to the train door not being on the hump. I had his hands and was able to pull him back up, but it was a fright neither of us needed.
For platforms where trains can reverse (such as Box Hill Pl3), humps need to be placed so that they line up at both ends of the train, irrespective of the direction of travel. I hope this is something that @metrotrains and @ptv_official can look in to as a matter of public safety
Hey @youtubemusic and @googlenesthelp! If I've paid for a subscription, why would my google nest hub be playing ads? Seems I'm not getting what I'm paying for here.
Tomorrow I want to take my kid to Camberwell. He's a fan of the train so was going to jump on the tram and see what he thinks. Except the 75 isn't pram friendly so I suppose we'll just drive instead.
I wonder why @yarratrams has adopted a fully low floor service on some routes, and not a more even spread of low floor trams across every route? Surely every 2nd or 3rd tram being accessible on every route is better than what we have now.
Little bit behind on @TaskMasterAU but got to see the generic yeast spread task earlier today. Don't think I've laughed that hard in ages. This show is getting better each week.
You know what @Coles needs? Trolleys with mobile phone holders. I'm a fan of their app, tells me which aisle to go to, but it's difficult juggling a trolley, a phone and a toddler (especially one who insists on walking then deciding not to walk with his dad through the shops).
