Had to got to Bunnies Broadmeadows this afternoon.
They have 4 tins of Satin and 2 Gloss.
At checkout, they are asking for postcodes - something to do with new stores and comparison with last year although I do not remember being asked at any other time.
Tell 'em it's none of their business.:((Quote:

They did have 'fibreglass resin', but no hardner/catalyst.
Just remember guys and gals it does have a shelf life so stockpiling it is not a good idea unless you use it regularly.
No, more fun to give your postcode as 9999, then they look dumbfounded and ask where that is! My answer? "can't tell you under our very strict privacy laws:rolleyes:".Quote:

Just got back from bunnies in Croydon/Chirnside Park. They had 2 of each. The staff actually new what it was!

Rebel sports have been asking that for years, my standard answer is "none of your business"
Mitre 10 Mega in Ringwood started doing that a year or so ago and not long after they closed down!Quote:

There was gloss and satin still on the shelf and appeared to be fairly new stock.

Ha ha ha ha, well said, Ive used 9389 for a long time and never been questioned. We probably should decide on a dummie postcode so they know that the inhabitants of the forum are watching them too......Quote:

Ive noticed product line variations between Bunnies. Once again this makes sense if you want to ingrain yourself as a local home maker store. Barrel nuts for Ikea type furniture gets various stock levels in different locations.
I was there 3 weeks ago. I found 2 Triton router bits. Great, knowing that they were on sale everywhere so I thought I would try my luck. I went up to this tools expert / helpful old bastard. Instead of finding out the prices like I asked him to, he said those router bits are the most expensive bits I could buy. What the hell did that mean?:(( I know it means “listen my little Chinese friend, they are too good for you. Go and get a box of GMC. By the way do you know how to use a router?” :((:((:((Quote:

So what's your problem Scott :DQuote:

Nothing Bob. Just a whinge that’s all. A lot of them treat me like an idiot and I don't like it.
I suspect you mis-identified this person.Quote:

I think this says a lot about the staff's general attitude towards the type of customers they have to deal with, ie people with no idea......'oh, that's nice honey, I wonder what it does'?Quote:
