Fiji is a Safe Place
I will make a political statement and tell all those who think Fiji is a bad place to live, come back and see for yourself. But if you have been bad mouthing people, come incognito.
Water Leak
It has been like that for some time and the leaking water has flowed right into the Mulomulo school compound. Its unsightly and a nuisance because pedestrians get our feet all dirty. Students pass through this and those wearing shoes and socks end up getting dirty.
But the bottom line is water is wasting.
Check Your Cash Register Slip
No amount of advice can be given to shoppers to always check their cash register slip.
We have always checked ours because we just can't afford to lose money when supermarkets make mistakes with pricing on their cash register machines.
A few years ago my daughters and wife went to a supermarket in Lautoka and when they were about to pay, my daughter Lina thought the amount was unusually high. Because they were in a hurry and the supermarket was really full , they just paid and moved onto the footpath. Silina decided to check the cash register list and saw among the items the price of an $18 perfume that they didn't buy. They immediately returned and the cashier admitted that she had made a "mistake". They saw the manager and he pleaded to save the supermarkets name. We got our money back and the cashier's employment was terminated. This happened where cashiers punch in the amounts.
In other cases, supermarkets show goods on special but do not change the cash register price and we dont know that we paid the full price. Supermarkets usually say it was an honest mistake.
Honest my foot.
