Fuck you, Bunnings Warehouse.

God, the Claremont Bunnings is an absolute fucking shamozzle.

They have a Paint counter there, right? You get your paint mixed up, you go there for consultation. You also have to ask someone behind that counter to unlock the spray paint display so you can buy spraypaint, which is what I wanted to do today.

I had to wait ten minutes while this guy was on call waiting on the phone. I can't stand and wait, I have a disability. I will either collapse or vomit on you right there.

I had to sit down on the dusty, disgusting concrete floor because there was no chair there for people like myself with disabilities. I was in SUPREME agony, standing for as long as I could manage. Then I gave up and sat down. I felt incredibly embarrassed to do so, but I had no choice because of the pain I was in. I'm not gonna lie, I felt really unvalued as a customer. I would have walked out but I really needed the damned spray paint.

I mean - one chair, Bunnings. ONE. You have a whole display of the fucking things around the corner! Is it so inconceivable to you buttfucks that someone might want to sit down while waiting in such a busy place as the Paint station?

God, I am fucking ropeable. I was in so much pain, I nearly vomited on the guy right there.

I don't even want to think about the precious spoons I burnt standing there like a total pillock. Don't even.

They're all "We're wheelchair accessable! Lookit our ramps!" Yeah, that's great.

The number of shops without chairs next to queues or waiting areas is UNIMAGINABLE.

I've become much more aware of these issues, and it's really mind-boggling how few stores offer more 'accessibility' than "oh look, ramp!" :(

A lot of people/places believe, in their ignorance that accessability is only about wheelchair access/ramps etc. As a society we need to educate them. Someone should write to these people and point out their error/ignorance and ask that they do something about it.

Too late for you now, I know love. *hugs* but yeah...

Oh, I'm writing to let them know anyway. I go there regularly and I do not want to be in that situation again.

Good. *more hugs* There's a lot of places like this over here in England too... and don't get me started about over in the US. Even my friend who /is/ in a wheelchair has problems that are not related to having ramps and such. When will society listen and learn?

Oh! I noticed! I was like, AAAAH AAAH AAAAH WHAT HAPPENS NEXT AAAAAHHHH! I meant to jump on you about that but I have the attention span of a fucking flea. Bounce, bounce! I can pounce on you now if you like. :D

Oh my goodness, that's so horrible. I'm sorry you had to go through that. :(

I complained to Bunnings about it. They're pretty proud of their customer service so I hope they'll do something about it.
