Watched this from uk as a kid, even i've done a stint for her.

I'd be afraid to ever go in the diner to eat in case Ailsa forced me to "look after the place for half an hour".

Can you this watch this video for me while I pop out?😉

Come for a milkshake and then find yourself working 6 hours 😅

The handbag is already half way over the shoulder before she’s even finished asking the question.

You realise you’ve been left holding the fort for half an hour and you never saw it coming.

NO wonder she freaked out at Bobby’s ghost - she realised she wouldn’t be able to fill in for half an hour

Fun fact Ailsa only worked for 27 minutes in 12 years

Someone sifted through a hundred hours of home and away to make this ….. that’s impressive!

I can’t believe I watched this for my entire childhood and adolescent years and never realised all she did was pop out for half an hour 😂

The only people who haven't filled in for Ailsa are the people who watch the show.

Omg even asking a principal on his lunch break 😂😂😂😂

I've finally discovered the reason I grew up with no work ethic, what with role models like Ailsa making me think that work just a minor inconvenience I could offload on to other people, so I could go out and enjoy life.

I can't believe there is a whole two minutes of Ailsa just pissing off for half an hour. Brilliant!

I'm still waiting for her to come back.  Only came in for a smoothie.

What blows my mind most is she's not even pausing to give them chance she's got her bag her shit excuse (soup library book etc) in hand and she is going. She's not giving them a choice.

Wow this is impressive. Someone watched all 13 years worth of episodes and cut all these clips out? That’s crazy.

I worked an unplanned 4 hour shift at the diner for Ailsa and still had to pay for my meal . 🙄

Hindsight 20-20 - Ailsa was obviously a day-drinker. Never realised it at the time of course.

I watched this and ended up holding the forte for half an hour

"Just for half an hour; I need to clear my head"  🤣🤣🤣
