It simply meant that they became someone else's problem, or better yet just f@@@ed off to some other store, and I could go back to mindless tedium. Do you honestly think we actually care that you are unhappy with the service or product?

If you really want to punish the retail retards make them do everything possible that you can think of i.e. make them walk around the store with you and explain everything three times... Take up as much time as possible... And then say, I think I'll shop around and promptly leave without thanking them. Basically you've completely f$$$ed their day if you can string it out long enough because retail retards are made to work hard for the paltry seeds they're paid. Managers are hired because they excel at slave driving and being assholes - not because they now how to me good managers.

Or better yet, as the poor retard sales clerk is only doing what they're allowed to do by the managers under threat of losing their jobs, go and find a manager and punish them by dragging them around and f***ing up their days work... You see the sales clerk isn't given any knowledge or training (what bunnings said in induction compared to what happened when we were turned loose on the floor is an absolute joke) to do even a remotely competent job and the managers don't give a shit. Their attitude is head down don't want to know... When I go to bunnings (or anywhere else now) and have a problem I find the first red shirt and say you don't get paid enough to put up with the shit i'm gonna start flinging so go find a manager (really). The smile that comes across their face is priceless when I say that. Cause their thinking "Yes! it pay back time and I have a front row seat"

I then walked away and got excellent service from a completely different provider. I don't care if they are bothered or not by my actions. I only cared that I explained my dissatisfaction and that I then got better service elsewhere.

On a separate note, I've had nothing but superb service from my nearest Bunnings.

I also learnt you just have to be patient and let it heal.
