I've been here 3 times so far. It's been hit 0r miss service for me so far.

The first time I went inside to order, and had to wait 20 minutes to get my order. The second time was through drive-thru, and it was super fast service. And the third time I went through drive-thru again, and afterwards realized they had forgotten my sauce, so I had to go back. When I went inside, I was stopped abruptly before I could speak, and was told she would be with me shortly, and she turned her back on me and walked away. Three minutes later, and she stood there with her back still to me while she seemingly stared at the wall while she waited for chips to cook. I interrupted her daydreaming, and asked for the missing sauce, and she obliged.

If you go here, I guess I would recommend avoiding going inside, by going through drive-thru only and double-checking your order before you drive away.

$9 for 3 small chicken strips, small chips and a can of drink doesn't sound like very good value to me, especially when you have to put up bad service.

Approximate cost: $8-10

Fast and efficient service. The staff could try to be a bit friendlier and smile once in a while. Always fresh food. Would recommend to others.

Approximate cost: $7-10

This review is for Far West Pizza & Pasta, Bacchus Marsh VIC

Very pleasant and polite staff. The customers were even offered Ferrer Rocher chocolates while we waited. They also seemed to have quite a few tables and chairs for customers to sit and enjoy their pizzas too.

Unfortunately, the pizza itself isn't very good. It was far too greasy and plain tasting. They were also quite expensive.

Verdict: The pizza is bad enough that I probably won't go there again, which is a pity because the staff and shop are very nice.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for McDonald's, Mooroolbark VIC

A few weeks ago, when I pulled in to McDonald's I noticed that their drive-thru was wrapped around the building, so I thought it might be quicker just to go inside and order. There were only 2 or 3 people in front of me, and I only had a small order, so I thought it wouldn't take long. A few minutes later, the manager started flipping out as his kitchen staff, yelling at them for not being about to get any food out. All up, I waited 29 minutes before I finally got my McNuggets combo! They apologized, but considering that there were several people who ordered after me who got their food before me, I think their effort was terrible, and I told them I would never go back there again.

This review is for Telstra, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 17 Dec 2010

Moved to a country town and signed up to a Telstra phone, internet and TV package 4 weeks ago. We still haven't gotten the T-box yet, so I called them up to find out what's happening with it. They told me that it was shipped from Sydney to Melbourne and then back to Sydney! WTF! When asked when I can expect to get the T-box delivered, was told that it normally takes a few days, but given that it's close to Christmas we probably won't get it before New Years! WTF! When I signed up with Telstra, I was actually starting to think maybe I had been too rash in avoiding Telstra in the past, but this experience so far is making regret signing up already. They have an attitude problem that dictates they are always right, when they need to learn that the customer is always right. I won't be dealing with Telstra in the future.

This review is for Even Layers Unisex Salon, Mooroolbark VIC

Went here a couple of months ago. $30 for a simple 10 minute men's haircut is 40% more than I've ever paid for a haircut. The cut was average and the service was poor. He was really working on 3 people's haircuts at once, so none of us got the best service.

The sign out the front says "No Appointment Necessary," so I was a little surprised when he told me to come back in an hour. When I returned he still wasn't ready for me, and I had to wait a further 15 minutes before he was ready. Poor effort mate. I won't be back and wouldn't recommend him to others.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Georges Fish Shop, Bacchus Marsh VIC

I've been to George's a few times. The service is average, and the two ladies there whinge and gossip to each other the entire time you wait. Their chips are ok, not great but not terrible either. Parking can be a little awkward near the roundabout.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Grant Street Pizza Shop, Bacchus Marsh VIC

verified email - 17 Dec 2010

I enjoyed a pizza from there last night. I'm used to being able to get a large pizza for $6, so their $9 for a medium pizza seemed a bit steep to me, but it was a much better quality pizza than what I normally get elsewhere.

+ lots of toppings
+ clean
+ no non-sense service
+ plenty of parking available on Grant Street
+ big screen TV to watch while you wait
- expensive

Approximate cost: $9-12

This review is for Croydon Self Storage, Croydon VIC

verified email - 02 Aug 2010

We used them a few years ago. Very convenient setup, and they have quite a few different sized bays on offer to make sure they have something to suit your needs. They provide a pin number to open the gates, and there's 24/7 camera surveillance, so you can rest assured that whatever you're storing is safe and secure. They allow access to your storage bay 7 days a week from 6am to 8pm, which is very reasonable. I have and would recommend them to others. Great service guys.

This review is for Australian Cinemas, Croydon VIC

verified email - 02 Aug 2010

While the sound quality, seats, and restrooms leave a little to be desired, their prices are great. On discount Tuesdays, adults pay only $8, while it's still only $10 any other night. I'd much rather pay $8-10 to a local independent cinema, than $17 to one of the bigger cinemas that tell me I have to sit in my assigned seat. Oh, they have nice ice creams too.

Approximate cost: $8-10
