Best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, you’re in one.
What are the alternatives? I am am expat, and I like Bunnings (as in like it, I even purchased my water bottle there lol). Now that they started surveillance what are the similar stores where I can kill my curiousity?
Buying Online, and some other small hardware stores still around. If you are building anything bigger, specialized retailers will give you much better price.
One more reason to not go there again, they sells only overpriced shit now.

I now just go to the specialist stores. Some times might be a bit more money, but often much better service.
Sure, strictly speaking it’s not as convenient… but good service, good quality (variable) , not supporting a Monopoly.
Dont they own Sydney tools? As in, is Bunnings owned by Wesfarmers still?
nah, they own TKD. Sydney tools is owned by the two brothers who started it.
