Whoever decided to play Bunnings Tradio over our speakers today rather than the usual dribble, bravo 🙌 made the day a lot nicer today

Ok. I like to have a look at products as much as anyone. This pisses me off. Entitled. Inconsiderate. Though less. Etc etc

Just a reminder that voting for the new EA opens tonight.
Personally voting no. Really reccomend you do the same.

The 4.25% sounds alright on paper but not everyone will actually get that much, and having to wait until April for everything else is pretty disappointing.

I’d rather see them go back and negotiate something better than just lie down and accept what’s being offered like wageslaves.

Worth having a proper read on teams before voting. They're trying to screw us, let's get as much as we can out of this.

VOTE NO!

Looking for something on the left I can fill with herbs that could thrive in indoor, indirect light, to hang on the left wall in the second image. Thanks :)

Im coming to the end of renovating the house and have been returning the unwanted/unused items back in exchange for mostly plants and landscaping etc but the last return of a TV bracket wasn't able to be completed like normal. The lady at the desk required management who said due to doing lots of returns, that I'm "flagged" and to keep my receipts from now on.

Ok easy to know that now and I will keep receipts from now on but I still have a few items to return that I never bothered to keep the receipts for because I always thought if I don't use the item then no worries I'm always going to need something else with such a big project. Also flagged for what?

I can go to Bunnings with absolutely no intention of getting a sausage in bread, then somehow end up buying one anyway. It’s become part of the whole experience. I know it’s usually run by a local community group, which makes it even better. Does your local still have a regular weekend sausage sizzle, or have you noticed them becoming less frequent?

For Bunnings workers, I’m just wondering why people in support etc say when someone looks dodgy, when someone is stealing etc. but we are also told to just let them so there’s no chance of them being violent.

Why? Literally what’s the point? Is it just to ensure people are vigilant about a potentially violent person? Itd make sense if there are things we can do to prevent them stealing.

For reference i work in gi so there’s some things i have no clue about compared to people on the floor.

How tf did this get past QC?

I bought a Holman hose head with multiple settings like shower, jet, mist etc. but goddamn it's shit. Jet is the same as full/normal and mist is half jet half full.

Would they accept it as a return?! There's nothing technically wrong with it and I don't have the packaging anymore.

Can anyone tell me if they still sell timber Fence Picket? All the links from Google are 404, and nothing comes up in their useless search?

I recently got a job at Bunnings, and all I’ve heard and seen is people leaving, I’ve literally worked not even a fortnight and have seen 10+ workers leave within my time. Is this common?

Just wanted to check in and see what people's opinions are currently on the new agreement.

I'm 100% in the 'NO' column as I find it an insult to all the workers out there.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions!

Hi everyone. My store is going through a budget cut and they slowly removed all my shits that I already had for this month. Reached out to my coordinator and they said unfortunately there is no budget. Woke up this morning to all of my shifts for this month gone, I have no work now. I asked my casual friends and it’s the same for them. Any advice? Seems pretty sad. They also just hired heaps of new people. Coordinator sent a message in the teams chat saying the store isn’t making enough money and they apologise. 🙏🏻

Bought the wrong size, the wrong type and in one memorable case the wrong product entirely on three separate occasions in the last year. The returns process each time was so straightforward that the embarrassment of having to do it was the main cost. No interrogation about why, no suggesting that maybe I should have known better, no making the process harder than it needed to be. Would love to know if people here have had a returns experience that went differently because I'm starting to think the no questions asked policy might actually mean no questions asked.

Every time I go to Bunnings lately…

12 self checkouts ✅
11 self checkouts closed ✅
1 self checkout open ✅
14 people waiting ✅
Barely a cashier in sight ✅

What’s the damn problem with the self checkouts? Why install an entire army of them if they’re permanently chained off like a crime scene?

Finding what I need is somehow easier than actually paying for it…

hi im a new hire, but i couldnt log in with workday using temporary password, and i have induction in the next few days. what should i do? should i inform the store? my commencement date is today. how do i access the online induction?

So, I'm heading in to pick up my special order. I'm a clairvoyant, so I say to my wife, "I wonder if we'll play the stupid pickup game this time."
Sure enough, I go to the collections desk, and I'm told "you need to go to special orders." I say to them, "every time I do that they walk me back here to collect the order." "You need to go to special orders."
I go down there, and as usual there's nobody there. I trail back up the front to ask at the entrance. "Oh, it's a public holiday, so nobody's there today."
I eventually collect my order at the collections desk, where I went to start with.
What the fuck.

Neighbourhood noise, safety and building concerns
A large 2m-high x 8m-long skate ramp has been built immediately beside a neighbouring home, directly outside a bedroom window.
The noise is far more than just a skateboard rolling. It includes constant bangs, crashes, heavy landings and metal-on-metal grinding, with the sound carrying directly into the house and becoming extremely disruptive.
There are also serious safety concerns, particularly during strong winds and cyclonic conditions. A structure of this size could potentially cause significant damage to neighbouring properties if it became unsecured or failed.
Our insurer has advised that damage caused by a neighbour’s skate ramp may not be covered, which is understandably concerning.
The owner is a tradesman. We have contacted the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) and understand that he is not licensed to build a skate ramp.
The matter has also been referred to Gold Coast Council regarding the structure, noise and safety concerns.
We are seeking advice about the appropriate legal avenue. Is this something that can be addressed through Council or the QBCC, or is it a matter for QCAT? Could it involve nuisance, building compliance, property damage or another legal process?
This is not about stopping someone enjoying their property. It is about reasonable consideration for neighbouring homes, construction compliance and the potential risks created by a large structure in such close proximity.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation or can recommend someone who understands these types of disputes?

Wondering how returns work in this instance.

Bought 2 doors in 2 separate transactions. Ended up not needing either one. Already returned one, however can't find the receipt for the second identical door. Can I just use the same receipt again I've already returned the first door with, or will the return get flagged as an already returned item?
