What cheeses me off

[prozac]

WCMO tonight is ducking into Woolies without my glasses a few mins before closing to grab some small protein yoghurt tubs to make my chia pudding for breakfast only to find out once home that i got one yoghurt and one weird pudding thing! Carbs in the protein pudding way too high for the protein it offers

Throw some rolled oats in a jar. Fill it with milk, put the lid on and leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning the oats will have softened and you can eat it straight from the jar. Refreshing brekkie in summer. Best of all, the oats have started to ferment (lactobacillus) and this is great for your gut microbiome. And it costs very little and has few carbs.

WCMO....

In Thailand at the moment and queueing seems to be a bit of a furphy. Say there are two counters selling tickets for an attraction. There's no tapes or ropes to create one queue per counter; in fact, there's no tapes or ropes at all. There is a line at the "first" counter (or rather, it's growing to the side of the counter, not directly in front of it) and my instincts tell me that that is a single line and the next customer is served by the next free counter. Classic single queue feed for a bunch of counters, a common and equitable approach.

Of course, some tourists don't get the idea and see the rather "empty" line in front of the second counter and proceed to walk right up to it. Their thinking of course is that it's one queue per counter and everyone standing in line is being rather stupid not to queue for the second counter, so they're getting express service at the expense of supposedly everyone else waiting being a moron.

I hear you my friend
Sadly queuing (lack thereof) is global WCMO

Are you at the airport and referring to the Qantas priority boarding system?

There’s a lot to be said for the take a ticket and Q system in some shops…

Our country and local supermarket does this too. Drives me insane. But I blame the supermarket for organising it this way.

local supermarket

I try to only go to Woolies if they have Scan and Go

WCMO are supermarkets with coin trolleys. I don't have coins. Luckily my local Woolies has Scan and Go and no coin trolleys

Trolleys or Trollies

Then I have great news for you. Standard rolled oats are gluten free too!

I'm not liking woolies these days. And our scan and go has to pay at the gate now so it's been 'enhanced'.

No that cant be guaranteed and no commercially produced oats in Australia are labelled gluten free.

"Oats cannot be labelled "gluten-free" in Australia due to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) regulations, which consider oats a gluten-containing grain, although they contain a similar protein (avenin) and are often contaminated with wheat, rye, and barley during farming and processing"

Plus the only way oats are appetising is coated in syrup and baked in anzac cookies. Milk soaked oasts = consistency of wallpaper paste.

Although I realise you don’t like porridge, for those of us who are coeliacs, there are a few brands of artisan oats that are definitely labelled gluten free.

If you have a good source of oats you can buy a flocker to roll your own as required. There are a number of brands available locally.
This is mine.

I love this one. Wheat free rolled oats and look at the ingredients. Contains wheat

 

[Aeryn]

Says wheat free not gluten free. Gluten isnt exclusively found in wheat.

Anyway i dont know why my gripe about mistaking protein pudding for yoghurt has lead to people pushing oats.

So WCMO today is people suggesting i eat a food ive stated i do not like (and do not have in my home) as a replacement for my planned meal. If im going to schlep back to the supermarket in this heat i will just buy something i like and need.

 

[MEL_Traveller]

Yes. Mandatory Tax Invoice if business is registered for GST and goods over $82.50 or customer asks for one.
My scripts are usually over that amount but they always ask.

I think it’s mandatory to able to produce one, if requested? Not that it must automatically be produced and handed to the customer at the time of the sale? Or am I misunderstanding the rules?

Reading the ATO website it says a tax invoice is mandatory if over $82.50, but then says you must provide that invoice within 28 days of the request

I’m certainly not getting tax invoices for all my purchases over $82!

You obviously didn’t get the contradiction. I was never suggesting they were gluten-free.

The description says wheat free but when you look at the ingredients further down it says it contains wheat so they can’t both be right

But the lesser known meaning of AFF is, Always Follow Furphies. I think very few of us could walk past a Rabbit Hole without wanting to dive down it

Telstra. Geez. We are 'using' data on a device that is switched off and Telstra of no help. Couldn't help myself just now.

Must be produced if GST charged and GST inclusive price over the $82.50 or whatever it is - whether or not requested by customer
