Got my @woolworths delivery yesterday, 68 items were missing. 68! That is more items missing than what were delivered. I’ve organised a refund, but now I have to go and buy those 68 items even though I am still waiting for a refund. Not good enough.

When the fuel on your plane overheats and you can’t fly after a five-hour delay and now you’re eating snacks because stress eating is the only option while we wait for a new flight time. What a way to end a Vegas trip. @FlyFrontier https://t.co/Ubewyn5Uzm
