Speaker 1 (00:00):
Many parts of the world.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Most parts of the world they're still celebrating if you
could call it that cranky co worker's day.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Now, last week we had slap a co worker's Day,
which in the.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Wrong order, you would probably slap them after they've been cranky.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, or maybe they're cranky because you're slapped.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
It was I was just going to say, not to
actually slap them.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
It was so the day, as it says, often oftentimes
it will be that person who will be in a cranky, grouchy.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Mood, no matter no matter how good they've got it. Yeah,
this day celebrates the embraces such coke workers and their moods. Now,
a couple of ways you can do, whether that is
something to embrace.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
You can simply let them be, or you could just
put on your own frown for the day and be
as negative as you want to be. But I don't
think option two is is the best way to go.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
The people who decided.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Struck on them and tell them to snap out.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Of it work from home.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, Well, no, that's what they wanted, that's what they did,
that's what they're anging.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Ah, that is what.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
They're or maybe like many people in Perth they're just
a little bit cranky about the fact that they can't
get their morning toast.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Look, it's now until you said this and the reason why.
To me this morning, I hadn't put two and two together,
and now I realized. When I went to buy my
crumpets on Saturday, they were fine. There was crumpets in
the aisle. But I remember vaguely thinking this bread aisle
looks a bit barren.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It almost looked COVID era style. It was a bit
like that. So you might remember about a week ago.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
In fact, it was last Wednesday they had a giant
fire at tiptop at Canning Vale and.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
There's no bread. Well that explained, there's no bread. Woolworth spoke.
There's toast.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
There's a hell of a lot of toast.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
But it's a little bit old. Now it's a week old.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
You wouldn't want to use it, said, wa stores are
experiencing supply shortages on selected package bread brands. They're actually
having to bring it in from South Australia. Oh my gosh,
So the South Aussies are being robbed the Westsies, yeah,
in bread.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Bringing in bready.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
So if like Lisa and I noticed it myself, but
I did really pick up on I didn't put two
and two together. But that's the reason why. So last
Wednesday when there was the big tip top fire, that's
why there's no bread.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well, they are expecting to see supply returners close to
normal throughout the week.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh, they're working hard.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
And they thank customers, are for their patients. Yes, during
this time.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So if you're wondering, if you're wondering why there's no
bread on the shelves and your favorite tiptop sun Blessed
is not available, that is why.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's because of the fire about a week ago.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
And the silver lining is get a pie for lunch. Yeah,
you can't get a sandwich exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
And in other good things, I said, it's a you know,
cranky co worker day in Australia. Now we have officially
moved into Chocolate Day. Now there's a day we can celebrate.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
We do every day
