I went to Toms on Thursday afternoon after work. When I entered the store I
said hello to the person behind the counter. He looked at me, then looked
down again. All I needed was some styrene. When I found the sheets, there
were only 3 thicknesses, none of these were sizes I wanted. When I went back
to ask questions, the person was not there. I looked around several times
and when I saw him and tried to get his attention, there was no response. At
that point, I decided to leave. Politely I said goodbye on my exit, and
again, no response. - I can now see why such a hobby shop with a great range
of stock is closed at 5pm on late night shopping day!

This was my next stop. When I walked in the door, the proprietor was having
a conversation with a customer. He excused himself from the customer and
greeted me! I found the styrene sheets (in all sizes ranging in .005
increments), and went back to the counter. Again, he excused himself from
his conversation and served me promptly. I had need to go back on Saturday
and recieved the same customer service experience. Parramatta might be a dog
of a place to park/travel to, but worth the service.

regards,
Tony.
