Save Mart Levin

Samantha from Levin

Hi Neibours

Trigger warning could be spelling mistakes (sorry)

I found myself in an interesting position today..

I went down to save mart Levin with my toddler today to have a look around and find some bargains.

I was stopped at the door pritty quickly and was then told I can not have my hand bag in the store.. her words were leave it in the car or leave it up at the counter...

Now I will admit I did see the sign but I was abit shocked as my hand bag is not a huge one I really didn't think it was going to be an issue well boy I was wrong.

Now I would totally understand if I had a big backpack or a extra large handbag

But the thing is my car is a keyless entry so if I was to "leave my bag in the car" any jo blogs could jump in and zoom off , if I was to bring my keys in I am then juggling keys, a wallet and a toodler all whilst looking for my bargains.

There was no way I felt comfortable leaveing my bag at the counter because by the way they act about theft ect.. how am I to know that my handbag is even safe behind their counter?

I am just abit shocked about the while experience and so bummed as I left because I did not feel safe leaving my bag anywhere but my shoulder! I have never experienced anything like this before

My question is have any of you? Am I over reacting? What do you guys think has this happened to anyone els?

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Find out more about the scheme online.
