Gidday all,
Maybe should have started this thread with a poll(not sure how to do that),what's your opinion of bcf and the service or lack thereof?
I went there yesterday and was pleasently surprised. The prices were better than other places. It was the first time I venture in there and more than likely the last time (I spent way too much money). I will continue to support my local Tackle Shop.
The wife was there and I discretely made suggestions for birthday Christmas and I love you presents.
Cheers

ours is right next door to another similar shop
funny to watch people walking between the two comparing prices
the service was non existant
didnt see one person over the age of about twenty(though im sure their about)
even the young girl stacking the shelves with lures didnt seem to know what to do
Can't all be bad. I know BCF employs a few young Ausfishers...
The prices, particularly for lures are way over the compared to those who shall not be named. The staff who are working seem to be more involved with stacking shelves than customer relations, and those who are not working seem to be doing just that....... pissing around with each other and playing silly games. The till service is non existent and the staff seem to talk to each other whilst checking you out rather than talking to the customer. Goes with the territory I suppose....employing teenagers.
I can speak only of one branch, and despite the poor service at this branch, there are a couple of guys who shall remain nameless but used to work at the hypermarket gympie rod who are now employed at this branch. I have known these two guys for a while via their previous employment and they will bend over backwards to give good service and they know their stuff particularly where lizard hunting is concerned. I am sure things will now improve, now that these two guys are on board.
cheers

Im the same I think the service stinks but I thing my local bias store is realy starting to become crap, so might be going for a drive back to whitsworths, its a shame because these days that service is last on companies minds.
Shyt service, and last time i went to my local bcf they had about 3 bags of bait in total... i almost laughed...
I used my local BIAS store for the first and last time today, I did not feel comfortable at all in the shop, basically they just want your money then get you out the door, they need to be a little bit less abrupt to get my hard earned cash...
Would love to know which multinational owns BCF probably General Motors or something, if anyone can help identify who really owns BCF it would be great.
The problem I find is that they dont specialise and generalise on everythng, there rope and cord section is great though and quite cheap
they have a great range but i like the local tackle shop, just puts more presure on the poor little guy again , it also helps when they know what there talken about also .
NOW I,AM GUNNA EATCHA
BCF yeah tell me about it. One just opened up in Cairns recently, nearly landed a job there but when I fronted up it must have occured to them I wasn't under 18. Even if a person that age knows their stuff the plain fact is if you have a decade (or two) more of knowledge its hard to even want their service. I'm gunna call it Boys Caring Foundation and keep shopping in elsewhere.
devocean- Close guess...they're owned by Super Cheap Auto.
bcf is an arm ofa listed company owned by super cheap auto.
cheers mal
