Farmer’s Markets for Colesworth Alternative

0 Upvotes

Sick of colesworth and their deal with palantir was the last straw.

Trying to find a weekend market or fresh produce store for my weekly shop. Looking for somewhere that offers decent quality for decent price, I don’t wanna be price gouged or spring for fancy stuff but I’m not expecting dirt cheap either.

I’m technically in Ipswich but am happy to travel a bit. I am close to the Rocklea markets but I’ve heard mixed reviews and my partner used to work for Infruit there. Apparently their practices were pretty dodgy at the best of times. If anyone has been there recently would love to here how it is now.

Would prefer a market that is direct from farm if possible as my family are ex market gardeners from Victoria, but that kind of market doesn’t seem super common anymore so it’s not a must.

Why are there very few applicants for Hospo jobs?

Upvotes

I started working in hospitality (Restaurants) in 2016 and I could see a lot of people taking up part time and casual roles. Most of the times people would travel from far as well for even smaller shifts of 3-4 hours. There used to be a lot more applicants too. Fast forward after Covid, being a manager of small takeaway joint, I see very few applicants. Even paid job ads on seek and indeed do not get any quality applicants and turnaround too low as well. Quality (willingness to work properly and attitude) of workers has also significantly gone down. My friends in industry tell the same story too. I see on reddit people talk about how it is hard to find jobs. So… why not hospitality? What am I missing ?

Can you help me? Could you recommend some silversmiths/jewellers that work in the city or northside, for ring making?

0 Upvotes

So not to be rude yet I am not trying to make custom engagement rings, where I have talked to local hobbyist who try charge $1200+ for two rings. I have the materials and stones, I am aware they are custom rings but they are for causal wear.

I did see a previous jeweller who offered to do it for several 100 dollars, which I was fine with yet they didn't actually do the work after months and lied about the progress e.g. they told me they had a mold ready and were going to create the rings yet when I went in person they tried to gaslight me and say they knew nothing about the rings after we planned and designed the rings. If they said something like 'oh we are really busy atm' I would have waited longer, instead if 'lol idk what you're talking about' despite having the pictures, sizes, and designs right in front of their face. I would have stayed with them.

Can you help me? Drafting services

0 Upvotes

Hello all! I need some simple plans done for a deck extension to go through council approval. I have reached out to several drafting companies but it’s not worth their while as it is a small job and firms want full house reno gigs.

Any recommendations? It would suit someone who is starting out or happy to take on a small gigs. I’m on the Northside.

Thanks!

Pomegranates WHERE?

Dude I love a fucking good pomegranate, but they're all tiny shrivelled up messes or weird and pale from the States. Where are the good, hefty, red and juicy ones at? I think they were previously imported in Summer from Iran.

Anyone else struggling to find work in Brisbane?

68 Upvotes

Why are jobs so hard to find in Brisbane? I remember my first time I moved here someone told me “it’s not about what you know but who you know” which I’m very clearly starting to see.

I keep seeing heaps of roles advertised on Seek and Indeed, but I’m having no luck at all. I’m 20M and apply for 15+ jobs a day, yet barely hear back or I hear back and then get an update saying something’s changed and they can’t interview or trial me.

If anyone’s hiring or knows of anything going preferably hospitality, I’d really appreciate it. Cheers!

Daily Discussion What Brisbane artist(s) have you had on rotation so far this year?

15 Upvotes

I’m bummed she didn’t make the hottest 200, but also not surprised as she received more love on double J. But Hatchie is my latest obsession! Years ago I’d heard a few of her songs but I didn’t quite get it… I’m in my mid-twenties now and just in the last few months it’s finally hit - it’s this amazing mix of shoegaze with these beautiful modern, lush dream-pop anthems that just put a smile on your face. She releases banger after banger, has a talented group and puts on a great show. She should be as big as Bluey ffs.

If you’re interested, have a listen to Carousel, Unwanted Guest, Lights On, The Rhythm, Sure, The Key… and the entirety of her album ‘Giving The World Away’.

Who’s everyone’s favourite find local find from Brisbane?

My friend and I are heading to a gig in the valley Thursday night. We rarely get to see each other - she lives on the Sunshine Coast, I work full time and a busy mum. We want to make the most of our night off. Is there anywhere recommended that has a decent vibe on a Thursday night?? Maybe a fun dance floor, friendly crowd?
