This joke doesn’t work, aussies don’t call it a check, they call it a bill.

He uses an "average house price" of $893,639. That is being massively skewed upwards by urban centres. Rural houses are still relatively affordable - a quick search on Trademe finds perfectly acceptable houses in small towns like Ashburton for $300k, and if you get out into rural areas it gets even cheaper.

They mention they’re arranging a hui so hopefully a decent compromise can come from that.
If you’re getting that worked up about mild non-offensive inane comments I hate to imagine how worked up you get using a self-checkout machine. Chill out.
Good lord, you may have just changed my life.
How can one person do so much damage to a company in such a short amount of time? It’s incredible.
