Woolworths/countdown Orewa, why are there charity muggers at your door AGAIN?

Chuggers are predatory and it really pisses me off that you make me have to walk through them to get inside.

I can only see two possibilities:

  1. Countdown just doesn’t care and doesn’t bother to vet who they allow to stand outside.

  2. Countdown does actually know how predatory these people are, but allows it anyway.

So countdown, which is it? You allow this carelessly? Or you deliberately allow it because you really don’t care?

Any Stuff or Herald reporters reading this, feel free to pick it up. You know how much these chuggers specifically pressure the elderly because they find it harder to say no.

Oh and btw, when I saw them I turned away and went to Pak n Save instead. Voted with my feet.

Pretending to be a charity in order to make a profit is a scum move.

All of the above is my own opinion only.

I just watched this MacGyver sequel series, and boy did they get so many details wrong!

First of all, his name is Mac, yet everyone in the sequel has some kind of speech impediment and pronounces it as “Jack”

We know how much he hates guns, yet he uses them a the time now? He hasn’t even picked up a single roll of duct tape yet either.

And he was US Army, but they got this wrong too and put him in the air force instead!

Pete from the Phoenix Foundation is now called “Hammond” for some reason, and I think they recast him too, he looks a little bit different.

Overall it’s like they never watched the original episodes or they did but just don’t care. They got everything wrong! Boy I sure hope somebody was fired for that blunder!
