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?

    I now just go to the specialist stores. Some times might be a bit more money, but often much better service.

    • Go to mitre 10 / dahlsens for generalist store (or if you're lucky you might have a small family business)
    • Total tools / Sydney tools for tools
    • Reece for plumbing goods
    • Local wood provider for wood.
    • Metal land for any metal needs etc.

    Sure, strictly speaking it's not as convenient.. but good service, good quality (variable) , not supporting a Monopoly.
