Yeah, I used to find the people at Bunnings were like that. Just didn't give two shits about being remotely helpful because they were working for a chain that didn't pay much and didn't give a crap about them. But they could at least put in a modicum of effort. Same with if you buy a Maccas burger (which we only do in a food emergency), my wife got a Fillet'o'fish the other day - there are only 3 things in the burger - a piece of fish, a piece of cheese and some sauce and do you think they managed to get any of it between the buns? Hells no they didn't! Now Maccas pays crap, but goddamn it, you can still at least put the food on the damn bun!

So that's Myers where the manager had to give you an apology, Toys'R'Us where the head office had to give you an apology - out of interest how many stores have you brought to task Gok?
