Bunnings & Dogs - yes or no?

I wanted to kick this topic off because it started popping up in another thread, so it probably deserves one of its own.

First up, I'm a dog person. I absolutely love my two little horror dogs, and they're a big part of my life.

Like many things, it's the small number of owners who ruin it for everyone else.

On the positive side, I enjoy seeing dogs in store. When they're sitting in a trolley with a towel or cardboard underneath, they add a friendly atmosphere. If I see one without anything underneath, I'll politely suggest the owner put something down.

The problems start with the owners who think the rules don't apply to them.

I've seen dogs off lead because the owner says, "Don't worry, my dog's perfect." I've had to clean up dog poo after owners simply walked away. We've had dogs wandering the store while staff stopped what they were doing to help catch them. And, of course, there's the issue of male dogs marking anything vertical.

I think if Bunnings is going to continue allowing dogs, there should be a few basic requirements:

  • Dogs must be on a lead or safely restrained in a trolley.
  • Owners should carry poo bags and be expected to clean up after their dog.
  • Staff shouldn't be responsible for cleaning up after customers' pets.

I heard some stores tried providing free poo bags, but people apparently took entire rolls, so that idea didn't last long.

I'm interested to hear what others think. How it could work?

Should Bunnings continue allowing dogs, tighten the rules, or ban them altogether?

Please keep it civil. I'm genuinely interested in hearing different views.

Has customer behaviour changed in Bunnings?

After spending time in Bunnings, one thing has become hard to ignore: the amount of damaged stock caused by customers.

I’m talking about ripped boxes, opened packaging, products removed from their packaging, items dumped in random aisles and goods that become difficult or impossible to sell because someone wanted a closer look and couldn’t be bothered putting things back properly.

It makes me wonder if customer behaviour has changed over the years. There seems to be a growing attitude that “someone else will deal with it.” The result is wasted stock, untidy shelves and extra work for staff who are already busy helping customers.

Most shoppers are respectful, but it only takes a small percentage of people treating the store as if it doesn’t matter for the effect to become obvious.
I’m interested to hear from others.

Have you noticed this becoming more common, or do you think it’s always been this way? Sorry one more thing. Globes. Why do customers have to take a normal everyday globes like the b22 or e27 socket and touch it? then put it back and get a new box. All the info is on the box and its a mainly 2 sockets. Ok, I’ll take a breath now.

Be gentle, I’m just venting.
