A little bit about me...

Stan from Browns Bay

Hi Folks.
You are reading a tad about Stan originally from the UK I have lived here in NZ for 22 yrs in BB for the past 5 years with my beautiful dog Skye and we love it especially the beach for her walk then followed by a hot chocolate of course.
My interests over some of my recent years includes base camp trek Mt Everest blooming hard but amazing the last couple of years it has been volunteering with elephants in Chang Mai anyone like to join me this year? It is just a lovely time.
Browns Bay really is a delightful place to call home especially the beach where of course I walk my girl Skye so should you fancy a nice hot chocolate just give me a call we can hit one of our lovely cafe’s together 🤔

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
