Vent - discountvitaminsandherbs.com
I've used this company once or twice for vitamin supplements and although the delivery has been slow, it hasn't mattered as I order them allowing for this. However, beginning of February I placed an order, and as I hadn't received anything I tried to get in touch with them. I EVENTUALLY got through on their 'phone number…

Ebay - bad sellers

Being on a tight budget I do occasionally buy clothes on ebay, yet I'm starting to think it's not worth it. I always check feedback, only buy items with full descriptions stating item as at least…

Play.com - my experience
About a year ago I ordered a mobile phone from Play.com. Having ordered countless gadgets through Amazon, I expected next-day delivery, or at least within four or five days. This didn't happen. The phone, in fact, never turned up at all. I emailed Play.com but they refused to do anything about it until 28 days had passed,…

Nurses (& the like) wearing scrubs outside the workplace.
Are there any nurses on here with a view on this as i'm curious. My gf is a dental nurse & at their practice, on H&S grounds, they're not permitted to wear their uniform outside of the practice.

Unhygienic practice?
In my local Iceland store, the staff stand on shelves displaying chilled food to restock higher shelves. They come in from the street in outdoor shoes and actually move packets of bacon, cooked meats etc. aside with their feet while standing amidst them. Surely the manager shouldn't allow this? I wouldn't fancy finding…
