Don't get ripped off, read THE CHECKOUT, from the team behind ABC's top-rating show.
ABC TV's THE CHECKOUT has managed to delight and inform consumers while challenging and infuriating big business. Keeping the same mix of irreverence and information as the top-rating ABC show, THE CHECKOUT is a fabulously funny read that also gives readers the knowledge and tools they can use in everyday consumer interactions. Featuring illustrations, photographs, break-out boxes and heaps of incredibly useful (and mind-boggling) information and observations, there are sections on:
How To Return This Book: a look at consumer rights when it comes to returning items using the purchase of the book as a case study
Do This Right Now: Consumer advice that can save readers money instantly
The Checklist: simple, one-page checklists of things consumers need to be aware of before making certain transaction (eg buying car insurance)
Product versus Packshot
Guilty Mum
Signs of the Times
Loving Pet Owner
First World Problems
And more!
THE CHECKOUT is a no-holds-barred, irreverent and entertaining approach to explaining and exposing the ways that all of us are being ripped off. You can't afford not to read this book!
