@@AydinZahedi I'd say it's pretty rare to meet a knowledgable one. Some will act knowledgable but what they say is BS, almost none actually know what they're talking about.
Its like a flick of a switch, one day I had no idea where anything was, the next I could tell you its aisle seven, three bays down on the left hand side, third shelf up.
@@BarneyGumbl3 Yeah maybe that's the case. I figured since bunnings mostly sells cheap crap that tradies would find it frustrating working there. I'm not a tradie, but at my work bunnings is the place to go when someone didn't plan something properly so we have to grab something fast from bunnings instead of going through a supplier with better quality stuff.
Whereas Super Cheap Auto employees come in two types: I own a 500hp Subaru I built myself or I played Need For Speed Heat once and don't even have a license yet.
True story: I know nothing about electrical, so I went to a Bunnings where I asked one of the employees about replacing one of my lightbulbs and the fixture that holds it in place. He said "I dunno much about lighting but lemme try help," then proceeded to walk me through picking a lightbulb, how to install it, and the things I needed to repair the fixture as well. These guys know everything.
It couldn’t be more true. I have never met a Bunnings employee who had to pass me over to another staff member because they didn’t know something. It’s insane in the membrane.
In the US, we have Home Depot and “Earl”, as soon as Earl learns what a centimeter is, he would work at Bunning’s. We’re at this level until 2013. It has gone downhill very quickly. We now have home improvement stores not filled with Earl. Just 18 year-old Xander in his dog collar checking the Home Depot app. Cherish your Earl-like Bunning’s employees.
Fucken gold. I love the bit about Xander and his dog collar. Australia in general has a few Xanders as well but thankfully Bunnings weeds them out with that bear.
I was buying supplies to make a design table. A Bunnings employee actually spent some time working with me and my plans, cut the boards to size, and helped picked a paint for it. ❤❤❤
I overheard a Bunnings employee explaining that cheap garden hoses fail on hot days because they receive 40 degrees from the sun and 40 degrees from the concrete so that is 80 degrees which is too much for the hose 🤣
“Yes I can take you to the area the thing you want is then read what it says on the different products without actually telling you exactly what you need until you leave me alone”.
I once overheard a customer asking a bunno's employee where a few things were, when I noticed him struggling for the answer, I jumped in and told the lady what aisle and where abouts in the aisle, it's my most cherished Bunnings moment.
I feel like they are all just exceptionally confident. One employee will very confidently tell you one thing, and another will tell you the exact opposite thing. Also very confidently!
Bunnings set up in the UK and Ireland, and it was a miserable failure, kind of like Lowe's teaming up with Woolies in Au and getting crushed by Bunnings.
It always trips me out whenever I goto bunnings, completely confident in my ability to find something, and I don't. so I find the nearest employee and without even needing to stop and think they know exactly what it is i'm looking for, will walk me over there and take one off the shelf to confirm.
The best way to shop at Bunnings is to go to the website, dial in your local store, find the items you want. The listing will show the aisle and bay number. Take a screen shot. When you get to the store just scroll through your photos and quickly go pick up everything you need.
Haha the woman I asked for help from at Bunnings the other day had no clue! She was a recent employee and she was so funny telling me how she had no clue what she was doing! She was lovely though and I wished her luck!
If you can find one. I swear the the back end of every aisle has a potral to platform 8 & 3/4, because when you're chasing an employee down so you can find out where the hell they keep a product, they round the corner and just disappear.
I was hired through a rigorous online and interview application process, allocated a 'team supervisor' who would support and 'train' me, then was put out on the floor on a saturday with just an earpiece and zero fucking training whatsoever. turns out the 'supervisor' was not a fan of working and actively avoided me so I was thrown in the deep end to just smile and bullshit my way through my first task of memorising 600,000 products locations to memory. people have no idea what this entails. due to chronic understaffing, i would have 15 people clustering around me to ask where everything from rapid-set conrete to gutter guards to what the warranty is on warm led 3 colour motion activated baby sensor lights are AND also take phonecalls transferred to my ear piece and I got yelled at for not having my earpiece in. I have adhd and lasted 3 shifts, which is kinda amazing.
Whenever you're looking for something in a hurry, there's no employee about. Whenever you want to be left alone because you're not really gonna buy anything you run into like 5 of them wanting to know what you've got going on.
In Bunnings, random aisle, ask about tap aerators. Guy asks about the thread i need. Idk. He walks me to the exact spot nowhere near where i found him and shows me the difference. And this is just one of many similar occurrences. The meme is real.... Masters, remember them, guy wanted to help me over and over so he wouldn't need to do the rah rah stuff at the front of the store and would have a legit reason why he missed it. He told me he was offered a 100 dollar bonus if he could "acquire" a Bunnings Apron.
I used to work in Bunnings for over 5 years and I can confirm, the stuff you end up knowing is insane (and I worked in the cafe for over 3+ years!) Want to know the best product to clean a bbq? What’s wrong with your pool and how to fix it? The difference between M8, M10 and M12 screw? How to start your mower that won’t start? I got you covered ✅
Reminds me of the Costco meat processing plant I work at they got me forklift driving, machine operating on multiple machines, breaking down and setting up the machinery, batching out the meat, and doing the grunt work all in a day, I swear if I knew how to fabricate the parts for these machines I'd be able to build and run it on my own lmao
I lost my credit card in bunnings at the cafe, and five minutes later when I noticed it was gone all the staff at the front desk already knew I'd come looking for it.
in the last few years i have only ever spoken to bunnings employees who know less than i do about what i am asking questions about which is not ideal... i do miss the good ol days of these bunnings employees... rip jeremy
Not just bunnings. I bought a bosch router from Total tools. The centring cone was not in the box. I went back to the store to tell them it wasn't there. No one in the store knew what a centring cone was nor why you would need one. If you can't centre the base plate of your router, the thing is bloody useless. Every time I buy tools, it's always the same; I know more about the product generally and specifically than do the sales people.
I worked at a Bunnings DC, Holly shit so many people were up themselves and the young guys were all doing handshakes and shit in the morning. I left soon after
Kinda funny actually I work in pick packing for food distribution and I had to train up this kid who apparently worked at bunnings for a previous job and was so fuckin clueless, not switched on in the slightest and reminded me more of the Fairbairn sketch with the Subway trainee 😂
I wanna see you guys visit us up in the Pacific North/West of the USA. Washington, Oregon, California area! The people out here are a lot like Aussies, except we live in a perpetual storm-drenched landscape interspersed with deserts and random mountain lakes. I want to see your opinion on Harbor Freight! I dunno why, but every Harbor Freight I've been into was like this. I ask a guy about a drill press, and he's suddenly on about the best way to put a hole in something and the history of drills.
Bunnings employees are the exact opposite of kmart employees
as a kmart employee, i can confirm
Of all the chain department stores, Kmart is the worst
Kmart has employees?
Lol so true
Kmart still exists?
As a Bunnings employee I can confirm they be moving us around departments

Wow! Now that's professional!
[Guy finishes taking down 6 burglars at the bank]
"You former military?"
"I guess you could say that."
"What division?"
"Bunnings."
i swear they know where everything is without thinking
I know right …
Because they do. They're the ones who put them there in the first place.
"Picked up a thing, or three" 😂😂
Every Bunnings employee I've ever dealt with wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a hammer and a bag of concrete.
But as hammer-and-concrete-expert I must say: These are almost impossible to distinguish
They may not know what a coniferous is, but they sure know their way around a cone
True, but they could tell you which aisle they are in.
Anything could be a hammer with enough leverage at least once.
@@ElDirtybacon So poetically :)

He's like that rabbit from Peppa Pig who works everywhere

They also gotta learn to play the Bunnings theme on a didgeridoo. That they made themselves out of treated pine.
Inaccurate. This is a mitre ten employee.
Bunnings employee “how am I supposed to know I’m 15” or
“Can you just leave me alone I’m retiring soon”
“Yes I can take you to the area the thing you want is then read what it says on the different products without actually telling you exactly what you need until you leave me alone”.
do ur own research before walking in, problem solved
Spot on
As a 17 year old Bunnings worker, the old ones are the only good ones
what is "mitre ten"?

Yep, my experience at bunnings is they get annoyed when you expect them do actually do their jobs.
Bunnings employees legit incredible at knowing which aisle and how far down for anything you ask for.
I went to Bunnings earlier today and now you posted this.
You guys are amazing.
Maybe my favourite store in the whole world. Miss Bunnings from when I lived in Australia, what we have here back home in Denmark just isn't the same.
Bunnings set up in the UK and Ireland, and it was a miserable failure, kind of like Lowe's teaming up with Woolies in Au and getting crushed by Bunnings.

Bunnings is an Australian hardware comapny.
