‘Well done, mate’: Bunnings employee heaped with praise over kind act
- Replies 7
We love seeing stories of kind-hearted Aussies helping out one another — it warms our hearts and reminds us of the inherent goodness in people.
In today’s stressful and hectic times, it's not often you see people stopping and helping someone else in simple but significant ways.
That’s why whenever such actions happen, they deserve to be seen and heard as evidence that there’s good out there!
A resident of Moreton, Queensland recently took to Facebook to share the wonderful sight she came across on Thursday morning while at the Rothwell Bunnings.
‘I wanted to share a photo that makes my heart sing,’ she began.
In the picture she shared, a man could be seen accompanying an elderly woman in a parking lot.
The woman was using a cane, and while her right hand was holding onto the man’s left arm he offered for assistance.
‘They were having a lovely conversation and he didn’t seem to mind that it took her a bit longer.’ the poster said.
‘Well done to this young man for his kindness and compassion, he should be very proud of the person he is.’
The poster also commended the worker for his on-shift initiative.
‘I would also like to say to Bunnings Warehouse Australia that this staff member is a superstar and should be acknowledged,’ she said.
‘His humanity and kindness also reflect well on Bunnings.’
Unsurprisingly, the post has racked up thousands of reactions from users who praised the man for his thoughtful act.
‘How we care for our elderly is a true reflection of our commitment to humanity. Well done mate for making a beautiful positive difference and leading by example.’ one said.
‘This world needs a lot more people like you, young man. Kindness is free and the elderly absolutely love a little acknowledgement. You have ticked all the right boxes,’ another said.
‘I’m guessing this is more about how he was raised. Beautiful to see,’ another said with a heart emoji.
Others shared their experiences at other Bunnings stores.
‘I recently went to the North Lakes store and was using crutches. The amount of support across my shopping experience was amazing. From offering a wheelchair to carrying my things to a register.’ a user said.
‘I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been helped to my car with my goods — even when I didn’t need crutches!’
‘Congratulations Bunnings — whether deliberate or incidental, your employees continue to do good work in a kind and caring way.’
Another added, ‘I have been on crutches leaving Bunnings Morayfield and a young lady pushed my trolley to my car.’
Bunnings has yet to comment on their employee’s kind action.
What a heartwarming story, eh?

Not to be outdone, shoppers from ALDI and Woolies also shared examples of how the actions of well-meaning employees moved them.
So, what is your reaction to this story? Have you had similar experiences while at Bunnings or other shops?
