I have never felt so wanted/welcome

I don't know what is happening out there at the big green shed. Was there with the missus this morning - about 100 new young kids (team members) greeting and wanting to help. I have never been greeted so many time in 30 minutes. Just annoying when they call me "buddy".

I think your wallet must have been showing....

[Oddjob1]

Mate I don't know what your doing but I'm thinking the kids are from USA, unless your name is Buddy of course but no worries, they are getting a serious release from their day to day and you are a big part of that, good work mate!

Cheers Oddjob1

Just so long as they can genuinely help you if you need assistance; but can you find someone when you need help, eg to cut a length of timber or chain or insect screen.

[Cliff Rogers]

Good on ya Buddy.... eerrrr BLoke.

Ah Bunnings. I remember during my first renovation I asked a young bloke a question about door jambs. He went away, came back a few minutes later and told me I should oil the hinge. *sigh

Is there a Masters store opening nearby soon??

I would hope. The first Masters in Perth area will be about 40km away.

Competition and threat from Masters. Lack of service = #1 Bunnings complaint.

This one just cracked me up.

Young assistant in hardware store asked if I needed any help. I wanted 60mm connector bolts which were out of stock. I took 70mm instead.
Young assistant asked "Didn't you want 60mm?"
"Your new at this aren't you?" was my reply.
I then explained that I could cut the 70mm down to 60mm or shorter as required.

Easy to make things shorter, hard to make them longer.

Wait until you go into a Masters store, they don't leave you alone, constantly being approached by staff. I went in the middle of the week to our local Masters, there are more staff members than customers. Staff calling out to me from everywhere. Sorry guys I don't like to be pestered to that degree.

I do enjoy the friendly greeting when I visit my local
Bunnings store. A smile costs nothing and let's face
it I am sure they get sick of greeting customers sometimes.

In the Winter the greeters are open to the elements as the
freezing cold wind blows in the entrance. They need to be
well rugged up. The best thing about entering is the smell
of sausages and onion at the BBQ.

Have not yet entered a Masters store but will try them if
they move into my neighbouring area.

They treat you like their best mate when you walk in, then treat you like a potential thief as you are about to leave.
