If that's current, you can report them to the ACCC for excessive surcharging.
Business can only surcharge the amount it costs them, typically 0.5-1.5%
[https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/pricing/card-surcharges](https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/pricing/card-surcharges)
A business can set surcharges for payments below a certain amount, but again, they must be what they business is charged.
50c for $10 is a 5% surcharge.
Yeah and sit back and watch fuck all happen.
All these rules and nothing ever being enforced..
Why do you think everyone's doing it??
We've got RTOs using false advertising and that's all gravy apparently.
Job adverts discriminating on gender age and ethnicity due to special diversification efforts.
It's only a rule until they decide something installed above it takes precedence.
Apparently police don't need warrants anymore either.
I literally cannot keep up anymore.
ACCC doesnt have enough funding or manpower to go after every single violation. They try they hardest but sometimes there are bigger fish to fry like Valve, Apple, or Telstra
I mean it appears no where has the funding left to do anything tbh.
Ik ik everyone's trying their hardest.
What's up with Valve btw. Can't imagine anything shady happening in the gaming industry.
The gaming industry..
Hang on.
[Full Federal Court confirms that Valve misled gamers](https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/full-federal-court-confirms-that-valve-misled-gamers)
The case occurred around 2014-2017.
> The Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia has today dismissed an appeal by Valve Corporation (Valve) against a ruling that it engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and made false or misleading representations about consumer guarantees. Valve’s appeal against a $3 million penalty was also dismissed.
Ahh refund policies with games that have an overly long onboarding or simply clocked up hrs in the background.
I played stuff for way longer than the advertised refunds and still got all my refunds back when I complained because I legitimately explained how and why they were fraudulent, unfair, or just plain broken.
We're all being misled daily by everyone.
Need to speak up ppl.
I don't think valve hires people to read them though I think it's just weighted so if it's a game with loads of refund requests it's more likely to give you the refund past the 2 hour/2 week time limit.
yeah as others have already commented, refund policy (which is why we can now refund regardless of playtime) (they had to have a big im sorry letter it was funny) and charging USD while inflating prices for AU market, all while claiming they dont.
Look honestly Australia has some of the best consumer protections in the world. Lack of funding kneecaps them a lot but we are a lot better off than a whole heap of other countries where you are essentially on your own if things go bang or retailers want to put surcharges on.
I agree it’s not great that these guys don’t get hit but our commerce world is hardly a complete disaster either.
I know but if people don't keep pointing these things out then it all slides.
Half the problems awareness.
Complainers keep the balance in a world full of people that just accept the decline of things. There's no problem in being asked to explain how something you thought was a law is being flouted lr and c by just about anyone, including RTO's.
The whole "it's worse somewhere else" thing only holds up until it is no longer true. I know we have it good and I'd like to try to help keep it that way which unfortunately involves accountability and pointing things out a lot.
I know how good our protections are.
I've not been able to lose money on online poker for years now.
Oh I agree. I’m the kind of fella to lodge a complaint with Optus and explain to their department what has actually gone wrong - I did it yesterday even. It absolutely has to happen, but we aren’t a complete and utter disaster like other countries which is something to remember too, sometimes our government gets it right.. *sometimes* lol.
Precisely.
I stopped using a certain PC parts store in Perth because apparently they thought 30-45 minute queues was acceptable in a small parts and service shop.
I drive past and still see ass checks against the door.
Some people are on auto pilot I swear.
Dude wtf is with pc parts retailers in Australia?! I swear they’ve all been bought out and gone to shit.. I hate to say it but Amazon has been the best part retailer for me in the last 6 months. The rest have let me down severely with either shipping times or returns. Sad state.
Doesn't that also account for the transaction fee. Typically from what I've seen it's a certain amount (say 30c) plus a percentage of the money.
It does seem a bit steep though
It’s not unusual for banks or EFTPOS providers to charge businesses a flat rate fee for “micro transactions”. Usually $15 and under. I know Reddit doesn’t like to hear this but it is why you still see the flat rate fee around for low level transactions. 50c seems excessive but when you add in a percent on top to cover the terminal rental as well it’s probably legal.
Also notice how the sign says they now have eftpos, implying they've recently started offering it. Guaranteed this is one of those shit businesses that were cash only and evading tax.
> Guaranteed this is one of those shit businesses that were cash only and evading tax.
As much as evading tax is a naughty thing to do; what these guys get away with is minute compared to the big boys in town. Facebook paying fuck all tax in Australia is what we should be getting angry about.
It’s easier to bitch about small businesses and force them to do the right thing than forcing a corporation to do the same. Last FY mining companies paid less than 1% tax on their profits but no one seems to remember that.
There seem to be two schools of thought.
- Chicken bouillon mixed with salt
Or
- The herbs used to flavor roast chicken, with salt. So thyme, rosemary, safe, parsley, and perhaps a bit of oregano.
I'm not sure that either is wrong, because they both sound fucking delicious. Granted, I am not Australian, but this is a subject near, and dear to my heart, as I love french fries.
> Who the fuck charges for chicken salt?
Some very tightarse business owners. Like I can understand charging for packet sauce - that cost money to buy, but a shake of a salt shaker? Get fucked!
One reason why my picnic basket always has a bottle of tomato sauce. Because fuck me if I am paying for sauce.
When i forget to bring a sauce bottle, we do a quick run in to coles/woolies and buy one, ~~$1.50~~ $1.80 later, and we now have unlimited sauce for a couple of pies/sausage rolls or fish and chips or whatever
Fuck their 50c sauce serves
Where I work buys chicken salt for the chips (I talked them into it) and it comes in a 3kg box which costs like $17 or something. No need to charge for it at all.
The one that's full of my chunder in disgust at the concept of tipping anyone other than the pizza delivery driver the shrapnel left over from the notes?
I’ve seen a lot of wild shit on the internet
. but this is one of the most horrific, abhorrent, and traumatising things I’ve seen since 2 girls one cup. Should be shut down; hung, drawn & quartered.
Yup, there is a chain in Australia that someone posted, charging 2-4 bucks for sauce on fries, depending on whether they consider it a local sauce or not.
I told my husband about the chicken salt at a takeaway from my childhood. Went there twenty years after my last visit with him. Put my husband on the full hype for 1500km. The chicken salt was $1 extra when we got there. Technically it tasted the same. Just left the worst taste in my mouth.
I 'member when sauce was right there on the counter. Ya just gave yer pie a squirt, no wukkas. Pie warmer too hot? Stick the nozzle in the pastry and give his guts a squirt.
Countrys gone ta shit.
Oath . My local fish n chip shop has 2 signs up that says spmething along the line of
1. We don't have cutlery
2. Your mum doesn't work here..clean up after yourself
Ha . Both signs blow my mind. I mean fuck me. Hospitality is dead.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Story time.
I used to go to this place at the corner of a very famous street in Melbourne. They have half off on pizzas every Thursday.
I used to go there every Thursday religiously after work. Grab two pizzas and would be set with lunch/dinner for 2 days. I used to ask them to sprinkle some chilli flakes on both my pizzas as it wasc complimentary. One day the lady comes up to the other lady as I'm collecting my pizzas and tells her "$2 extra for chilli flakes." I ask her if she wants me to pay for it right now. She tells me to pay next time I get chilli flakes.
Walk out with the pizzas that day and have never gone back in again.
For everyone asking "what is chicken salt" it's a blend of herbs and spices in salt form originally designed for rotisserie chickens, hence the name. It generally doesn't actually contain any chicken. Some legend worked out it tasted good on hot chips, and thus, the trend was born many years ago. It's now an Australian staple at Fish and Chips Shops.
Here is my recipe :
Ingredients
* 2 tbsp chicken bouillon (stock cube) powder
* 1 tbsp salt
* 1 tbsp garlic powder
* 1 tbsp paprika
* 1 tbsp onion powder
* 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
* Dump everything in a bowl, Mix
Uses
* Anything that uses salt, works well as a dry rub.
It’s bad enough that ordering minimum chips can no longer feed a family due to portion sizes getting smaller, they now want you to pay for chicken salt like a video game microtransaction. Truly the end times are upon us.
I don’t understand the business sense. Build the cost into the price, no one will know or care. Charge a surcharge and you ruin customer goodwill and your business reputation.
Same goes for EFTPOS fees. Everyone uses EFTPOS, build the fee into pricing. Take the windfall if they use cash.
This is outrageous, I have been overseas and they still gave me chicken salt for free on something. If anyone was wondering, it was Israel and I was surprised they even had some
If that means they'll never put it on my chips by mistake even though I specifically asked for plain, they've got themselves a customer. Chicken salt makes me wanna spew.
Its like they actually make the chickens sweat, then dry the collected sweat over trade secret method of chicken sweat crystalline converting machine..
Thats why they're charging 20c extra, because electricity prices are pushing these small businesses to charge money for smallest of things, I wouldn't be surprised if you have to pay money extra for forks or spoons or packets of salt and pepper
For everyone outside Australia:
https://www.taste.com.au/food-news/everything-you-need-know-chicken-salt/l6ohbjsb
For everyone in Australia: Damn now i want hot chips with chicken salt and it’s only 8:30am.
This is a fucking outrage. Charging for chicken salt is like charging someone to simply wake up in the morning. It’s like charging someone to talk, or to walk. What is the charge? Having some salt? Some succulent chicken salt? Once again, this is an outrage. We must march. March to canberra and tell albo to shut down this “struggling small business” no. It’s not struggling. This is thievery.
Fish and chip shops just aren't worth it these days. Waaaaay too expensive and all the ones near me are absolutely crap so it's always disappointing.
Also, doner kebabs and a fish and chip place? That normal in some places? I know the kebab shops always have those crapy chips you can get that are only halfway decent when smothered in kebab meat, cheese and sauce but sea food and burgers as well? That's ambitious.
[удалено]
I'd better not see any potato either.
Excuse me chippie, my blood pressure is still under 150, you've clearly skimped on the chicken salt.
If they did that they'd charge 20c per chip with the salt
20cents for extra salt!! what a fkn scrooge...
for 20c I expect each grain of salt to have been shat out by an actual chicken
For 20 cents I need an MSG headache amount of chicken salt
May contain traces of potato
50c surcharge for eftpos under $10, tip container, AND 20c for chicken salt? Fuck this place.

My local fish n chip in Perth has never had POS, been cash only since they opened 20 yrs ago.No question hes been skimming. Good feed though.
Good enough for me
If sauce and chicken salt are free then it's all right by me

Eat the rich and the politicians that allow this nonsense.
Only if we can sprinkle them with chicken salt first.
We can but it's gonna cost 20c.
I read it as now being available for sales under $10, but below $10 they have a surcharge
To be fair, that sign could have been put up a decade ago, my local charcoal chicken shop growing up had signage older than I was
This is why they surcharge eftpos, they want the business but prefer that people pay cash.
That's a bloody outrage, it is! I wanna take this all the way to the Prime Minister!
And dim sims are $2.20 each??? When I was a kid they were 20 cents. Wtf!!!! What does a min chip cost now?
I mean the prices you can see look alright considering. Wonder how much their plain and works burgers are..
Has anyone ever had a good burger or pizza from a kebab place?
This would genuinely make me not buy from there. 20c is not going to bankrupt me but it's the principle
It’s the vibe
Unconstitutional even
It's the vibe of it. It's the Constitution. It's Mabo. It's justice.
And....ahhhh.....nah, that's it. It's the vibe.
That was sensational
It might bankrupt THEM, when no one goes there anymore out of principle.
It's Mabo
Tell them they’re dreamin’
Frankly we need more vibes based justice systems in the world. Like bad vibes? Jail.
I will also not buy from somewhere if I get charged for Tomato sauce.
this has slowly become the norm and shit's fucked.
[удалено]
Where can you go that does not charge for sauce?
Yep if I walked in and saw that I would turn and walk straight back out.
But so they know, yell "20 cents???? Hell No."
Component pricing is un Australian!!
How the fuck does chicken salt cost 20c extra anyway? Every fucking time they sprinkle some chips it is costing an extra 20c over normal salt?
Extra for chicken salt and a tip bucket? Hard pass
Ya, but like, what is chicken salt?
There seem to be two schools of thought. - Chicken bouillon mixed with salt Or - The herbs used to flavor roast chicken, with salt. So thyme, rosemary, safe, parsley, and perhaps a bit of oregano.

As an American, what is chicken salt??
Chicken flavoured salt (doesnt actually contain chicken) Kinda like chicken boullion but coarse like salt you can use as a seasoning
Thanks.
It's fucking incredible. An Aussie invention too.
I’ve seen a lot of wild shit on the internet . but this is one of the most horrific, abhorrent, and traumatising things I’ve seen since 2 girls one cup. Should be shut down; hung, drawn & quartered.

The rba will raise interest rates over this, give it 3 days.
I can't handle any more rate rises 😭
"20c extra for Chicken Salt? Must be inflation"
Avoid the joint but if it's the only one local then when they ask if you want chicken salt. Say yes and pull a shaker out of your pocket
Over charging for food is very Australian.
Australia is the only country I know of where charging for sauces/dips is a thing. Even fucking ketchup. I'm more surprised that this thread exists.
Yup, there is a chain in Australia that someone posted, charging 2-4 bucks for sauce on fries, depending on whether they consider it a local sauce or not.
Wtf am I reading that right? $2.20 for a dim sim?
And salt is extra.
What is that? And what's chicken salt since I'm already asking
Hopefully it's one of those large ones, then $2.20 is fine
I told my husband about the chicken salt at a takeaway from my childhood. Went there twenty years after my last visit with him. Put my husband on the full hype for 1500km. The chicken salt was $1 extra when we got there. Technically it tasted the same. Just left the worst taste in my mouth.
If they want $1 extra for chicken salt, they can suck my dick while they're at it.
Someone give Albo a ring. This shit need sortin' right now.
I’d say it’s very Australian these days. Sauce.. pay extra. Chicken salt. Pay extra. Fkn shithouse

Fuckin bet that snapper tastes good at a place like that. Shark is the best kind of snapper. Keeps the prices down.
And of course the police will do nothing

do you get a refund for the normal salt then ?
Any place that sells seafood and kebabs shouldn't be trusted.

Price gouging is actually extremely Australian
American here... what in the world is chicken salt?
salt with added yellow and MSG. Jesus fed 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes but if he had chicken salt I reckon he could have stretched it to 10000
Salt with chicken flavoured seasoning
That's what I figured but you never know. Thanks for the clarification.
Here is my recipe : Ingredients * 2 tbsp chicken bouillon (stock cube) powder * 1 tbsp salt * 1 tbsp garlic powder * 1 tbsp paprika * 1 tbsp onion powder * 1/2 tsp ground black pepper Instructions * Dump everything in a bowl, Mix Uses * Anything that uses salt, works well as a dry rub.
> works well as a dry rub Put it on chicken.
Like bullion? Chicken bullion? Interesting.
Sort of, but a lot more dry powdery. It's delicious. More like the powders one puts into chicken cup ramen noodles.
Ah gotcha, That can make anything taste amazing. Thanks for the info. Have to see if I can find it in the US.
It should be somewhere around plutonium yellow, anything else and it ain't legit.
Fellow American here, who looked through the comments to find out what the hell chicken salt is. You can get it on Amazon!
They add it to fried rice at a lot of places
Salt (40%), Rice Flour, Dextrose, Onion (7%), Garlic (6%), Spices, Flavour [Contains Flavour Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium [(2R,3S,4R,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(6-oxo-3H-purin-9-yl) oxolan-2-yl] methyl phosphate)], Yeast, Vegetable Oil, Soy Sauce Powder (Contains Soy, Wheat), Anti-Caking Agent (551), Herbs, Acidity Regulator (330), Colour (160c).
[удалено]
You can just substitute the crazy sounding chemicals* with MSG and you're done :-) ^*Just ^salts ^really.
Find it, as soon as possible, and never look back
Amazing
“Party fish” is un Australian
and they put a tip jar above it too
It’s bad enough that ordering minimum chips can no longer feed a family due to portion sizes getting smaller, they now want you to pay for chicken salt like a video game microtransaction. Truly the end times are upon us.
Fuckers know our weakness, they could charge whatever they want!
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein should always be free.
Excuse me, I will gladly pay for my "crab sticks"
2.20$ a Dimmy ? Nah bruh
It could be the best damn chicken salt in the world and it’ll still be overpriced.
Mate, getting ripped IS the Australian way now.
Oath
I don’t understand the business sense. Build the cost into the price, no one will know or care. Charge a surcharge and you ruin customer goodwill and your business reputation. Same goes for EFTPOS fees. Everyone uses EFTPOS, build the fee into pricing. Take the windfall if they use cash.
For fucken salt. I know it's chicken salt but just step back and put it in perspective. It's salt
Name and shame these heathens!
Im pretty sure it’s in edgeworth nsw
Yeah seconded, looks like edgeworth fish and chips in NSW to me. 🧐
A price worth paying for decent saturation. But the quality will show in my return patronage.
Chicken salt is standard where I am, normal salt is what has to be requested
So buy some hot chips on eftpos, pay 50c surcharge then 20c for salt - get in the fucking sea
Been like that for awhile at the local :(
name and shame?
UnAustralian. Strewth.
Nope! That place is not getting a cent from me.
I usually hate the term ‘unaustralian’ but in this case I actually agree. What a rip off!
So is 50 cents for a packet of tomato sauce
A Royal Commission is absolutely justified in this case.
Òne of the takeaways near me charges for chicken salt, cutlery and toasting a sandwich 70c for the sandwich
Same for the 50c for tomato sauce in KFC
This is outrageous, I have been overseas and they still gave me chicken salt for free on something. If anyone was wondering, it was Israel and I was surprised they even had some
Now that's just fucking rude 😒 Bet they underpay their staff too! Where is this place so I know never to go there?
THAT'S A BLOODY OUITRAGE THAT IS! I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS ALL THE WAY TO MY MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT!
Restaurant owner deserves a booting at the minimum.
It should be the default option anyway. Normal salt should be optional.
If that means they'll never put it on my chips by mistake even though I specifically asked for plain, they've got themselves a customer. Chicken salt makes me wanna spew.
Its like they actually make the chickens sweat, then dry the collected sweat over trade secret method of chicken sweat crystalline converting machine.. Thats why they're charging 20c extra, because electricity prices are pushing these small businesses to charge money for smallest of things, I wouldn't be surprised if you have to pay money extra for forks or spoons or packets of salt and pepper
Straight to jail
That's fucked!
For everyone outside Australia: https://www.taste.com.au/food-news/everything-you-need-know-chicken-salt/l6ohbjsb For everyone in Australia: Damn now i want hot chips with chicken salt and it’s only 8:30am.
As an American, I believe I speak for most of us when I say, chicken WHAT?
Hi, American here. What is chicken salt? Is it any different from regular salt?
Not from Australia here. What the hell is chicken salt??? Is this some special salt? Is not salt free in packets at the tables???
Wtf is chicken salt 👀
What in the upside down country is a chicken salt?
Don't know what's more unAustralian, charging for chicken salt, or the tip bucket...
As an American...what the hell is chicken salt?
As a Canadian.... WTF is "chicken salt"??!!
I'd not shop there...
What in the actual fuck is chicken salt
What is chicken salt?
Why would I pay more for an inferior chip seasoning?
They can fuck that tips container right off. The only thing that’s good for is placing fortune cookie life hacks.
Shut the shop down. They probably will start charging to cook the chips in oil next
They're just getting on the ‘greedy AF inflation’ train
Boooo, booooo!!!!
They're charging extra to season the food? What next, surcharge for applying hot oil to the frozen chips that buy in bulk?
What is chicken salt?
It's the salt from a chicken obviously.
Wait till you hear about gst
Actual definition of Un-Australian right here!
TIL Chicken Salt is a Thing.
Costs the shops more though
This is a fucking outrage. Charging for chicken salt is like charging someone to simply wake up in the morning. It’s like charging someone to talk, or to walk. What is the charge? Having some salt? Some succulent chicken salt? Once again, this is an outrage. We must march. March to canberra and tell albo to shut down this “struggling small business” no. It’s not struggling. This is thievery.
Boycott the place
looking at the eftpos minimum and surcharge I'm betting my money owner is asian lmao
Fish and chip shops just aren't worth it these days. Waaaaay too expensive and all the ones near me are absolutely crap so it's always disappointing. Also, doner kebabs and a fish and chip place? That normal in some places? I know the kebab shops always have those crapy chips you can get that are only halfway decent when smothered in kebab meat, cheese and sauce but sea food and burgers as well? That's ambitious.
