Bunnings are big on the greetings as you enter plus the staff go out of their way to say hi as well. This all started about 18mths ago at a guess and prob because Masters were coming.

Went to the one in Scoresby yesterday, (directly opposite Bunnings ) Much bigger car park and better designed than the redesigned competition over the road. Nearly slipped ass over out the front on their very slippery when it's been raining entrance .
Once inside, it seemed roomier, found the cutting discs I wanted for $2 each. Went to the checkout and scanned stuff, put in bag and was then asked how many bags I would be purchasing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Empty bag, pay and go. I have no idea if the discs were cheaper than bunnings and I wasn't going to go over the road to just see if I could save 20c.
No greeting when I walked in, but friendly "Goodbye" when I left.
However, I walked around just looking for about 10 minutes and no-one asked me ifI needed any help. Which I actually like. There was employees standing around looking like they were itching to be asked for help, so that's a good thing.
Next time I need stuff, I'll go there again and get a better idea of service and prices.
It may be owned by a big huge company, but Bunnings ate away all their competition, so I'm glad there may be some more again now.

Bunnings will aim to provide better service and support, in the long run they will hope people will recognise good service more than the price.
They built a Masters opposite Bunnings head office, now that is a slap in the face. To make it worse the site would of cost allot of money. They are builing Masters as close as they can to Bunnings if not opposite or next door. I heard that Masters are aiming to hire skilled staff and ex tradies whilst Bunnings have 'blah blah experts' who have undertaken a training course rather than an actual qualification or trade.
It's about time we started changing the monopolies
It will end up like the old petrol station on every corner to now being one one every second intersection if that.
Bunnings in Belconnnen Canberra used to be staffed by tradies but i don't think so now
There is a Masters opened in Canberra but it's a 45 min drive verses 5 mins to Bunnings

Bunnings Fyshwick has been alright the few times ive been there.

I got 99 problems and a crimp aint one...
There is one in the Bibra Lake commercial center , it's massive !,has been open for about 3 months , what is most noticeable is their layout and overall presentation , leaves bunnings for dead with their concrete floors etc.
There is also one in Baldivis , Forrestdale and one opening in Ellenbrooke in Sep .
