At lunch today, at Harvey's in Parramatta, if I use the self serve kiosks, they add a platform fee to the menu total.

I cancelled the order before paying and ordered at the counter - no fee.

Is this legal? Surely it costs them less money for me to order through a screen instead of taking the time of an employee?

30 October save the date!!!

This is a post asking for help. A friend of mine was harassed by a middle-aged man on a train in Sydney. He asked for her mobile number, and as she was afraid that refusing might cause him to become agitated and do something harmful, she gave it to him at the time. She has since blocked him. Our concern now is: if this man realises he has been blocked and starts stalking her or something similar, how should we deal with it? They got off at the same station, and their homes are not very far apart. Would it be useful to report this to the police at this stage?

Note: We are all international students, and we all live on our own.

Second edit：I’m sorry, everyone; I didn’t want this post to spark an argument. Perhaps people have different perspectives on this. However, I believe that, as a female international student living alone abroad, it is perfectly normal to feel this kind of fear. I have now reported the incident to the police and at the station, and I have posted about it on social media on other platforms. I have evidence to show that another student has also been harassed by him.

Tldr; the police lied yet again.

American here looking for the kind of whole pickles you get at delis in the US. Or something like the jarred Clausen pickles in stores. I’ve found great sweet and sour pickles as well as bread and butter pickles, but not the dill and garlic crunchy pickles I find back home. Thank you!

Greetings from the States. I could not find a subreddit for the Sydney White Bellied Sea Eagles so I'm posting here.

I would gladly be redirected to the official subreddit.

Be well all and stay safe and in good health.

I am much more pro lime bike than most people, I’ve found them useful for getting around unfamiliar cities, and like that they get cars off roads.

But this is insane. This is the bike rack at a T1 train station. Absolutely full of lime bikes.

I tried to park my bike and could barely squeeze into the single spare slot, and on some days there are no slots available.

This is a commuter bike rack, and if you know this station you’ll know it’s actually a fair way from the road down a hill, not even visible from the road even, so I’m surprised they’re allowed to put the bikes here. I don’t love the idea of people trying these bikes out for the first time on a fairly steep hill.

But more importantly, these bike racks are for commuters. We paid for them with our tax dollars. And lime get to use them?

Even if you could argue that commuters will use these (which is still a dumb argument as it actively takes away spots from commuters), these bikes have kick stands for fucks sake. They stand up on their own. What bright spark thought they need to be crowded around a bike rack?

Basically - who do I contact council, TfNSW, or Lime?

Edit: before people posit that maybe this was a group of people leaving them there. Nope, I ride to this station once or twice a week. Sometimes there are far more bikes, such a large bunch that it actively constricts the path to the station. Sometimes there are 1 or 2, or no bikes. Someone from like is absolutely replenishing them. They are usually much neater than this, to be fair.

It's been up for many years. I drive past nearly every day. The building facade has been painted a few times, however the Monkey stays.

Everyone is worried about the artefacts on the weather radar created by swarms of bogong moths: this is the real plague. Just left wherever with no sanction for Lime or the rider.
Of all the major cities in the world why did Sydney agree to permit the creation of an inconvenient eyesore?

Hey, tried googling but got conflicting information, where are the best places to park your motorcycle for the whole day? Somewhere where i wont have my bike stolen please.

I'm in Sydney in a couple of weeks for work.

Never been to Australia before. I'll only around for 1 week and will only have evenings available to me (5pm onwards).

What are some must-do things I need to go out of my way to do?

I will be staying just south of the harbour bridge, that's pretty much all I have to go off as I haven't got all my hotel details from work yet.

I recently tried to cancel anytime fitness saying that i am moving overseas permanently next month and they said they need proof that I am moving permanently. And I cant “just” cancel the Gym even though I have already finished their 18 months contract. All fking BS man

Is there anyway someone can help me.

I'm not from here, anyone know what this is for? Says "Iris Grad" with a funny little heart

I need a restaurant recommendation around the CBD, Surry Hills, inner west or south Sydney that will satisfy a really fussy crowd:

- group is about 15-20 people, but some won’t know until the day of if they can come due to travel. We need somewhere that doesn’t require a set menu for a group this size, so if a few extra people can come it’s not a drama!

- somewhere where people can order their own food and drinks and we don’t need to worry about transferring people (possibly an upmarket pub)

- a nicer, upmarket venue- the group are middle aged/older that wouldn’t appreciate a super busy atmosphere.

- good parking a plus!!

If this unicorn exists pleaseee let me know! It will be for a Thursday as well, so hopefully not the busiest nights of the week.

EDIT: thank you everyone for your suggestions, they are so helpful. I’m sure we can make something work from them… love from a stressed EA 🥲
