@checkouttv still remember that story

This was the sort of treachery that @checkouttv was so very, very excellent at explaining to the average consumer and good gods we desperately need it back again

The most disturbing news I’ve learnt regarding the #coronavirus is that Baz Luhrmann is making ANOTHER movie?!!

Here’s a question for #WorldConsumerRightsDay2020: bring back #thecheckout ?

Choc Chip Spot the Difference courtesy of LCMs … thanks to a disappointed Tracey who sent this to tipoff@thecheckout.tv

Today in “unnecessarily gendered products” #aldi #genderedmarketing @checkouttv

Apparently these changes to the Telstra Disaster Assistance Package are not on the Telstra website yet. We’d call this a *Checkout Exclusive* if the word “exclusive” hadn't become so utterly meaningless in the media these days ...

This just in from Telstra ... *proactive* credits for bushfire affected customers as opposed to "you can apply". Much better: what a difference 10 days (and maybe a few questions) makes ...

This statement from Vodafone to The Checkout is clearer than the Vodafone Bushfire Assistance page, which just says “please contact us … to discuss options”. If you’re affected, do contact them. And feel free to quote this. For more detail, see thecheckout.tv/bushfires-telc…

For all reasonable consumers: if you knew when buying a pre-paid 12 month mobile plan: * you still pay full monthly fee if (say) a natural disaster means you can't use your mobile for much of a month + * no right to a pro rata refund in contract would you buy the mobile plan?

Here’s a handy list from @choiceaustralia - 40 pseudonyms for *Added Sugar*. Anyone for Added Sugar bingo? First one to spot “Turbinado” or “Rapadura” in their pantry wins … some sugar. Wishing everyone a Sweeeeeet 2020!

Rewatching @checkouttv and I could definitely watch an hour long ACCCCCCC with @zoenl and @bencjenkins #bringbackthecheckout

@checkouttv The exact same situation with my fitbit and Officeworks. LOVED whipping out the ACCC app on my phone and pinpointing my rights. Thank you @checkouttv Miss you.

@checkouttv @chaser It should also be shown in high schools !
