On numerous visits, both to the bar and to eat, I have found the service excellent. There is a wide range of wines to choose from, and the knowledgeable staff are very helpful to the uncertain. The food is excellent and the prices wuite reasonable.

This review is for The Undertaker, Hawthorn VIC

On only one visit so far, my wife and I were particularly impressed by our waiter, who attended most professionally to our needs but was in no way "pushy," not suggesting what we were not wanting or questioning what we chose. The food was absolutely delightful, though looking at some other comments I wonder does that depend on what you choose. We have eaten in many places and are looking forward to returning in the future to The Undertaker.

This review is for Coles Supermarket, Hawthorn VIC

Because this store is close to home I sometimes have to use it, though I would rather not. Products are so frequently out of stock and the staff are so unhelpful that shopping becomes something of a trial. There are far better supermarkets a short drive away.

There is always a crowd in this store, which is surely an indication of its popularity and worthiness. The staff are alwasys very helpful and the aisles very clearly marked so that items can usually be found without too much difficulty. The adjoining Liquorland also is a bonus.

This review is for 1st Choice Liquor, Balwyn VIC

Their range of liquor products is quite extensive and the staff are very helpful indeed. They have a policy of beating any competitor's price and actually keep a stock of competitors' advertisements to check when asked. The discount amounts to 10 cents off the competitor's bottle price, regardless of the number of bottles being purchased.

This review is for Bunnings Warehouse, Nunawading VIC

The range of products available is mindblowing, the only difficulty in some regards is to find what you are looking for. Nevertheless, if you can find an employee you will soon be directed correctly. They have a policy of beating any competitor's price by 10% which can be very handy, especially when they have increased a price following the arrival of new stock and the competitor has run out and not yet secured new stock, which can produce quite a saving.

This review is for Reader's Feast Bookstore, Melbourne VIC

Readers Feast has a very wide range of books and very helpful staff members. They also conduct a points system that gives customers a personal reference card and points are awarded according to the value of purchases. Credit vouchers are issued by mail according to the number of points awarded during the period and these vouchers can be used toward future purchase costs.
