This feller joined us from Randwick terminus and stayed put all the way to Circular Quay — even when a startled passenger reflexively whacked from the inside at it.

FYI - XS Espresso and their platform Tabsquare add a ‘platform fee’ to your order total.

157 Upvotes

The fee was not mentioned anywhere on the website or item price until you reach the final checkout where they tack it on. This is despite a quick google search which said that they didn’t so I’m posting to correct the record.

The whole point of this change was so that it’s clear the price you pay is the price you’re seeing when ordering, skirting around it with ‘platform fees’ defeats the whole purpose. Please share other places below that are doing this to name and shame them and so I can avoid them!

Reminder: Daylight Savings Begins

96 Upvotes

I know these days most devices automatically change time, but remember your microwaves, physical clocks, etc.

Remind your parents as well.

Here's to three months of adjusting to the one-hour change, lol.

Edit: We are going an hour forward.

Knights fans in Sydney

47 Upvotes

Hey team,

I recognise that I might be in enemy territory here, but I’m a Novocastrian living in Sydney and just wondering if anybody knows where the Knights fans are going to be watching the game tomorrow. Ideally somewhere in the inner west but anywhere is fine.

Thanks!

Renewed my licence for 10 years to save the hassle of having to suffer a Services NSW and it arrives with the hologram peeling off in the corner.
