Masters to close

I called into one store last night and purchased 3 gallons of Titebond III :yesmaster:
Given Woolies seemingly inept management, Masters demise was inevitable.

I have a few large containers of Titebond chillin' in the climate controlled atmosphere under the laundry sink. Now there's a line Bunnies should pick up...

Went to Bunnies today to spend a bit, I was assured there would be a person in the section to help get my goods off the shelves. Riiight. Not a sign of anybody in that half of the store, I ended up getting all the stuff down myself, loaded it onto a cart and only when I was leaving that section an employee shuffled out of the stacks and just gave me the fish eyed stare. Went to another section, same story.

Good to see that Bunnies service is on the way down again now that the writing is on the wall for Masters.

All to do with expectations. I go into Bunnings not expecting service of any level and my expectations are always met and even occasionally exceeded. I am never disappointed when expectations are met!

Yep. Got stock is an online venture by Blackwoods (owned by Wesfarmers). Online doesn't mean cheaper (more specifically, without the usual much larger overheads) in this instance. It comes with the usual heavy Blackwoods mark up - which really defeats the purpose of operating a play area online.

A little disapointed I really dont like Bunnings. And Masters did carry goods that I cant seem to find else where

Well I might never have a Masters down here but as from today, I do have a Carbatec which is nice.
I did drop into Bunnings to say hello to a few items but didn't take them home.
