MODERATORS
I stopped shopping at Bunnings after the ABC video here. Feel free to do the same.
TLDR?
Just effectively they have monopolised, have unfair trading practices with small businesses that supply goods, are increasingly changing product for their own brand which then means the "lowest price guaranteed" is pretty null and void because you can't buy their items anywhere else.
Just noting, I watched this a long time ago, but it left a bad enough taste in my mouth to stop me from going there any more
Oh, you mean they have just become supermarkets.
