Yes I've heard that. It's like the whole "sunset over the ocean" thing. It's just all wrong...Quote:

For a while, the Cairns store had a dead set 'tool calender girl' on the door...
you know the one.... big blonde, big smile, big hooters, in big work boots.
They made her wear a red T shirt & she had to zip up her denim shorts but....
in the end, they had to get rid of her 'cos all the dirty old men would go
down to bunnies & just walk in & out all day just to have her smile at them.
I prob'ly only go there once a week now.... :rolleyes: (just in case she come back :D )
Must be different rules for different stores. In Tamworth NSW the girl at the front door just says hello and goodbye because she stands right at the front of the registers and can see every one coming out from the registers.
At the back or trade door they have a guy that checks every thing on your vehicle against the docket before he will open the boom gate to let you out.
Pretty much the same in Cranbourne.
Havent been to bunnies for a couple of weeks so dont know if things have changed but never been stopped or had my receipt stamped or whatever. (QLD) Bris.
If there is anyone at the entrance and they say "g'day" I just say "gday" back. I do the same on the way out. It would be a rather brave person to stop me on the way out clutching my goodies and a receipt after just leaving the register.
Anyway it doesnt hurt to be civil to them. They are just doing what they get paid for and if it helps to stop lowdown shoplifters, good.
Things might have changed since...... 2004....... :eek:
Top thread:D
Live no more than a stones throw away from Bunnings, so its my home away from home. Spend $10,000 everytime I walk in the b....dy place.:rolleyes:
I just say "g'day" if there happens to be a doorperson but also think its 'plastic' much like a lot of other places. I call em robots.
On the way out, and if its a nice young lady, raise the arms and ask her nicely to frisk me:p ...usually get the old,
"naah! you'll be right!"
Can't believe this thread is 2 years old. Only seems like a couple of months I posted in the threadQuote:

Occasionally having my cute 1 year old daughter in one hand helps too whilst struggling to carry the rest of the gear. (Only works with small purchases)
I had to explain to the checkout chick on Saturday that her looks can be directly attributed to her mother. Chick said what a lovely face she has.
er... my daughter's looks. Not the checkout chicks.:D
Someone will ask you "what the? " , eventually :pQuote:
