Thread: Bunnings on a Sunday

Certainly much erratic carpark behaviour outside Bunnings at Edgewater WA especially on Sundays and the staff seem to spend a lot of time avoiding the customers whenever possible!
Or maybe that's just me as the girls in the pub don't come near me either!

i've found their checkout staff on weekends are also quite an attraction

So would I get better service/advice buying timber from the local strip joint?

Well there's definitely plenty of "hard wood" at the local strip joint and the girls would most likely be experts at working with it and handling it.... so its quiet a possibility........

I go late on Sundays,all the idiots have gone,the carparks half full & the staff are helpful trying to get you sorted & out of the place as they wanna go home.

The supermarket is the same,either go very early or very late,go during the middle of the day...& your asking for grief

Thats just every day at out local bunnings.

Are we still talking about strip joints ?

Pretty much just the norm for Bunnings. A lot of DIY wannabes that dont have a clue and should not be allowed into a hardware store let alone buy anything and attempt renovations.
I have asked for stuff before to be met with just blank stares. Even basics, there is a lot the warehouses dont have or store in obscure locations and their staff dont even know where it is.
Having said that there are some good ones. My brother in fact works for Bunnings in Adelaide and is very customer foccused.
Most of the time I dont need help, but it is appreciated that staff do ask, most of them will just walk on by. Sick of going in, one check out open, 30 customers waiting to be served and 6 odd Bunnings staff standing around near the checkouts talking and ignoring the customers.
But I suppose you get what you pay for and most of them do not want to research and know their departments.
