Woolworths staff refused to let a friend take the accessible trolley to their car

Hi everyone,

This happened a while ago but I've only had the chance to enquire about it now.

A couple friends of mine noticed that the wheelchair accessible trolleys were locked away. No problem, they requested one and used it in store.

When they tried to leave the store to bring the groceries to the car, one of the workers refused to let them leave with the trolley and they were told it needed to stay at the store.

After a long line of conversation and an argument they ended up allowing my friends to take the groceries to the car using the trolley, only if the trolley was brought all the way back to the store.

My questions are:

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Is this actual Woolworths policy or just a misinformed worker on a power trip?

I tried calling the "Instore queries line" with no response. Is there a better place to enquire/complain about this event?

Hospital + relationship problems + bad mental health + freezer door was left ajar now $150 worth of food has defrosted (mental health TW)

Oh my fuckin god.

So at the start of the shit show. I have chronic pain but no one knows what's wrong with me. Every single doctor I've been to thinks it's endometriosis but no one can diagnose me until I have surgery to find, and take endometrial tissue out to test it. (And I might not even fucking have it!)

I found out in December that the medical (gyno) referral I've been waiting 8 months for was never actually put through by the hospital after a previous visit.(I understand I should have called up and checked I've learnt that lesson now)

Fast forward to a month ago I was in severe pain all day for a week straight and ended up in hospital. The hospital kept me for three days doing every test under the sun to find NOTHING. They had me do an ultrasound in which my bladder had to be full, scheduled for 10:30am. At 11am they told me it would be in 30mins and told me to just keep holding it. At 11:30 they told me the same thing. This went on until 5:30pm. I was busting, in pain, extremely anxious and nauseous ALL DAY.

They had me on Oxycodone all day for a week straight. It made me feel nauseous, destroyed my appetite and I had no filter when I spoke. It was a horrible fucking experience.

Now I don't need the Oxycodone anymore but I'm still in some level of pain, all day everyday.

While in hospital my partner couldn't be there to support me on the last day and it opened up a can of worms and is causing problems in our relationship. (not going too deep into this for my own privacy).

I had a horrible weekend, I spent the whole time trying to just exist when my brain is constantly giving me horrible intrusive thoughts, telling me I'm a horrible person and giving me every single reason why I shouldn't exist anymore. I managed to get through it.

Only to wake up today with my freezer door slightly ajar, all of the food inside defrosted, while being broke as fuck. I'm going to be real. I eat a lot of food out of the freezer because I struggle to not let food go bad in the fridge.

So now 90% of my safe foods are defrosted, without enough time to goddamn eat it all before it goes off so I'm inevitably going to have to throw a lot of it out.

I started bawling. Just crying like a mf. But now I'm angry so I'm posting all of it here.

Thanks for reading friends.

Looking for a lighthearted and funny anime to cheer me up

Hi friends,

Lately I've been dealing with some mental health issues. I really need a good laugh.

Additionally, some themes are too much for me to handle right now. Please don't recommend any anime with intense graphic violence or intense mental health themes such as Bungo Stray Dogs (although I like that anime it's not for me right now).

For some context on what I like, I really enjoy Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle and That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, and they are a couple of my comfort watches.

Thankyou everyone and I'm looking forward to watching what you recommend!
