Why Morayfield Is A Bad Place To Shop
67Ok, you probably have a few questions before we get started.
1) Where is Morayfield? Well Morayfield is a place next to Caboolture in Queensland, Australia.
2) Why are you writing this? Because they have been selling dodgy products to the customers.
3) Why havent you just complained directly to them? I have but they don't care.
Let's start things off with JB Hi-Fi. Now this shop prides itself on having all disk oriented products for sale, along with flat screen T.V.s, but what could be wrong with this? The disk themselves. After purchasing several DVDs from this place, 7 out of 10 were either scratched, damaged, or completely snapped in half, and all of these were brand new. You may wonder why they bought these ones to sell when they are damaged? Well this place seems to pride it self to getting things in quicker then other places, which means they don't care if they do get damaged in the process. Some people even have found copied disks with a print-out sticker of the disk on it instead.
The Televisions aren't to flash hot either. These days you need a digital one, which itself is terrible because during a storm you get terrible reception, but I'm not complaining about that, I'm talking about shotty merchandise. I bought a T.V. and every day like clockwork, you have to turn it off and on again cause it freezes, and that causes it to lose all records of channels, making you have to go into the channel edit, make channel 7 the favourited one, exit the menu, which freezes it, turn it off and on again, and then it all works.
Now you may think to yourself 'Hey, why don't you get your money back?' well I cant, as this place only gives store credit, and it isn't a $20 credit uses all of it, I had a $40 credit voucher from something I returned, and I bought another dvd for $30, and they took it all, I didn't even get a $10 vouncher as change, so as a tip, avoid this store at all costs.
The next one that I am going to talk about in Aldi. You may be thinking, 'what, that store? What has it done?' Well I'll tell you. Shotty products, and terrible merchandise. The one at Morayfield has an electronics section, only about 3m x 3m case filled with electronics, but still a section. Now the one paticullar one that caught my eye was a brand new laptop with Windows 7. Now as a customer I thought that this was a great find, lots of space on the hard drive, about 500GB I believe, 2GB Ram, plus, as I mentioned, Windows 7. Now I immediately bought this because they had no others there and plugged it into the charger when I got home, but it didn't charge, it seems that they gave a wrong charger, or a faulty one, but that doesn't matter, I already had a spare one that worked. Now I turned it on, did the usual set-up, and everything worked great, exept it only had 250GB, not the 500GB I was promissed, and a few days later, the laptop wouldn't run because the version of Windows that it came with was a faulty version and I could not do a thing about it unless they gave me the product code, so I confronted Aldi. I was told that it was compatible with windows 7, and for some reason shouldn't have came with it on there. So there goes that money, know why? Because since I charged the battery in it, it's warrenty became void.
Now lets look at the groceries, this section will be alot smaller. Now my usual shoppingfor lunch is bread, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and cheese. Now I also buy that nights dinner when I am there, and I decided to get some chops, ones reccomended by a shop assistant. Now I skipped lunch because I was invited out the McDonalds by some friends which was fun, and I later went home and used my newly bought items for dinner. After I cooked the chop, it shrivled up because it was filled with water, so it was about 1/3 of it's original size now. Now the cucumber I bought was bruised quite a bit, which I couldn't check because it came in a packet of 3, the tomatoes tasted terrible because they were grown with those plant steroids that people use the quickly grow crops for more money, and the lettuce had quite a bit of bugs in it, so I decided to get Pizza instead from the freezer. The next day I checked the bread, and it was moldy, prooving that I should no longer trust this place (but later went back with a mate and saw the laptop)
Now I am going to end it all by just a quick few sentences about a bunch of other places as I seem to have run out of free time recently, and this was an on-going project.
Coles: Everything I buy there goes 'off' quicker then other places.The meat was filled with water and a person who works at the deli only served 1 person in an hour, and stood back for everyone else to work during peek shopping time.
McDonalds: Found snot and hair from unknown places of the body around the food that I purchased and got an immediate refund, never going back.
Game: The store clerks who work there don't know what region Australia is in DVD/Game formats. They also believe that we are NTCS and not PAL, and could not understand me for about 30 minutes on what a Nintendo Wi-fi USB stick was, even after explaining it for that 30 minutes, only for an actual mentally challenged person to say "Oh, those sticks that give your DS wifi that go into your pc" which they understood, but stated they only work for the wii. It says both on the package!
Big W: Prices seem to never change during sales, and the tags saying that they are on sale go up on the last day, meaning after the sale, they still have the tags on there and the shop clerks argue to the point that because it says the price on it, doesn't mean that it's what they have to charge, which they do since it's false advertisement on the product itself. Plus one of the workers there seems to only check womens bags for things that may be stolen, meaning that a sexual preditor works there.
Please note that the ones in this section here were all from the Morayfield Shopping Center. I will update the list as I find more stores that seems to be doing things wrongly, or ripping people off. Thank you.
