So often I see Americans say they think it's weird or wrong that Australians say Capsicum. Yet it is correct, named from the scientific plant, capsicum annum. Maybe it's easier to say with our accents 🤷♀️
Pepper over here would refer to the seasoning, pepper. As in salt and pepper. And to me if, you call something a pepper it should have a bite or some level of spice to it. Like chili pepper/peppercorns. Yet capsicums are kind of sweet, not peppery or spicy.
I've lived in both Sydney region and north brisbane suburbs and the buses usually stop at the stops if someone is there...they only dont stop if theres no one there, or if the bus is full to legal passenger capacity. And if it's a main transit stop or park and ride stop they will srop for a couple of minutes regardless. Hailing is more common at stops where swveral routes may use the same stop frequently. It's a courtesy for the driver.
It's normal for us with our shopping centres and trolleys because they are designed to be' one stop" places. Our shopping centres usually have two, sometimes 3 supermarkets in them, which makes total sense convenience wise. And there's usually ample room, unless its a tiny shop but thats no worse than people with prams/strollers. Most of the time people would go to those tiny shops first and supermarket/bigger shops after. Or leave the trolly outside with someone if you're not shopping alone.
Minimum wage here is $24.10 an hour so the video must be old or she's incorrect . It'll be $25 later this year. What you call job benefits over there, are rights under the law here.
