In Australia there are consumer protection laws that cover similar situations. If a product price scans differently at the checkout than displayed on the shelf, you get the product at whichever price is lower, or the business must cease selling the item until the price is corrected.

In addition there is a voluntary code of practice that the big supermarkets have signed onto which states that if the price scans higher at the checkout than shown on the shelf, the customer is entitled to receive the first of that item for free and any subsequent items at the lower price.

Excuse me, uh did you say yutes?

Yeah your honor the two yutes.

Uh, what is a yute?

Oh excuse me your honor - two youTHs.

It’s been said - you can basically go anywhere if you walk fast and carry a clipboard.

Also if you wear high vis and carry a ladder. I’ve seen YouTube videos of the ladder shenanigans - (un)surprisingly effective.

Weirdest bit of that, is the terms drop the before part of “before” and the after part of “after”

In Australia school age kids (early/mid teens) often do “work experience” in their school holidays or after school. They approach local businesses they might have some kind of interest in learning and spend that time unpaid and helping out. You get exposed to how a business works, prob have to do the boring or messy scut work, but that’s part of it; and when they finish up if they had a good attitude and were productive and worked hard - it can many times turn into a part time job. At the least you could get a written reference from them about your time there, and use that to start building out your CV and help you get a job elsewhere. It’s also great for helping you work out what you might like to do moving forward. At the least if your home dynamic isn’t always great and your folks can be a bit overprotective - it’s a structured way for you to spend some time out of the house that they may find more reasonable and be more comfortable with than your going out and just getting a job. They need to transition into you getting older and more independent too.

In case you’re still looking for someone to give you permission - that’s not me. They’re not made to support anything but the lid and contain the water. Even if you were to stand on the edges of the bowl you’d have a big risk - the bowl always expects an adult to have both feet on the floor and therefore much less than a full adult’s weight.

#Fucking despicable and disgusting.
