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 😔
I don’t understand how the heck Bunnings manages to have so much public good will.
For me:
I go into giant warehouse size of small city
find what i want, price is decent
i go through self checkout and leave
👍
everytime I've been has been fine? except when I look for a small widget that has 10 in stock on the website but there's none on the shelf because scumbags have stolen them all but 99% of the time it's fine
It is fine, unless you want a brand that doesn't have a deal with Bunnings, or unless you want garden furniture that is remotely durable, or unless you want some advice from someone who has experience in hardware.
Back when Bunnings was one of several large chains and small local hardwares were much more common it was easy, even Bunnings was made better by the competition. Monopolies are bad for consumers.
They got fuckin face recognition bs tracking u tho.
Damn that's kinda creepy
Well, not really they have face recognition on the entrance to see if you match one of the scum bags beating their staff or stealibg shit and it's deleted, there's no tracking. If you do match there security staff are alerted.
Taking them at their word, your image is deleted after 0.2s and they have no idea who you are anyway. Your anonumous scan just doest match said scum bag.
I'm ok with it if what they say happens does happen, an audit by the privacy commissioner should conform that either way and then thy can clear them or expose them. Instead they just said don't do it.
It's nothing like biomteric scans at airports where who you are is matched to your facial scan.
Nah, their reasoning is crap.
Facematching your local methhead does fuck all - he's not gonna listen to staff banning him and cops will claim they can't do anything with the footage. So that excuse is right out the window
They also don't delete it - already copped a foot up the arse in that regard that they're challenging.
love me games love me Bickie tin God bless 🥲
