I went down to my local Bunnings store on Friday to pick up four bags of GP cement, a bag of Gyprock base coat, a roll of paper joint tape, a bucket of topping coat and a measuring tape.........and guess what......they had none of these in stock (that;s right, not a measuring tape of any kind)
I said to one of the staff "are you closing down or what?" and he said yes we close on Sunday.
There were no signs telling the customers about this and nothing on their website (which is a joke at the best of times) I just can't believe the contempt these people have for their customers......or in my case ex customer.
It's just a pity there are now no hardware stores left in Blacktown.
There used to be three hardware stores within 500 meters of where I live. real hardware stores where the staff knew their business and were only to willing to help you........sorry this is bringing out the old fart in me....think I'll hang up my diy hat and spend a lot more time down the pub, unless of course Wesfarmers decide to take it over and close it down!
