I decided to give this store a second chance today (Sunday) and I just want to say that the woman…read morewho served me today was rude again. I thought she was just having a bad day last time but now I think she is rude all the time. I went into Fundamentals for Living Thirroul with a friend and did a whole lap of the store. We had a look around at a few things and I found a pair of tongs which I wanted to buy. The woman was hiding behind the counter with her nose in her phone and didn't say hello to us until I reached the counter. I waited at the counter while she kept her nose down in her phone. I decided to get her attention and said "hello, how are you?" and she smugly shouted back "hello, good morning". I said "I would like to buy these please". And she loudly sighed and said "these are only two dollars, I'm only going to make 90c on these". I replied that I'll just leave then if she didn't want to sell them and was prepared to leave. She laughed and said, "it's okay". I thought she was kidding around and joking about so I laughed along. However, when I handed over my money to her hand she sighed and slammed my change into the counter. This behaviour was incredibly rude and not consistent with the relaxed and friendly community which is Thirroul. I assume that she's the owner of the store because she was talking about how much profit was to be made on the transaction. This does not make sense at all because this store sells many small items for the kitchen which are low in price. I do not recommended this store to anyone who expects a certain level of manners and respect. I am surprised that this store has managed to survive for so long who happens to be competing with stores like Kmart and two dollar stores. The woman who runs the store is rude, has no manners and has no desire at all to encourage repeat business. Do not go here.

I have shopped at Fundamentals for Living for many years. Whatever it is I need, this store either…read morehas on their shelves, or will order in for me. The service is always warm & friendly. I have a lot of KitchenAid products that have needed various replacement parts, and this store has always filled the order - no matter how small - in a professional and timely manner, I highly recommend Fundamentals for Living
