I got a real laugh out of this needed to share here for you all. I decided this needed another 'airing' as in more recent days, I have found it more necessary to do more 'whinging.' There is a saying and I like it as I guess I qualify...."The squeaky wheel gets the oil!" I am not sure what the custom is in America. However, in Australia, even though we have far less competition and options to choose whom we patronise - the tendency is, if not satisfied with service at an establishment - rather than 'whinge*' - to take our business elsewhere. I guess I am a bit out of the ordinary. In recent days with the new 'ALDI' company in Australia, I have found myself whinging* more. The good thing about ALDI, unlike some traders, is they are quite happy to refund on return, or replace an unsatisfactory item. Turns out also they are giving our two major Supermarkets a bit of a hiding, as are more of the newer American and even English traders setting up branches in Australia.
