I don't understand how the heck Bunnings manages to have so much public good will.

It's a total monopoly that has run all of it's competition out of business and over the past 20 years has become progressively shitter at customer service.

I miss other hardware stores 😔

@mativity @Joshi @shinyrat yup, Mitre 10 and Home Hardware are both still around (now the same company that also owns Total Tools). Also, a Bowen’s building supplies opened up in the old Bunnings nearby after they moved out to an even bigger store.
