Newsagents

Overview

This newsagent is a bit of a mixed bag, if I'm honest. It's a convenience store chain that stocks baked goods, fresh items, and packaged snacks along with alcohol. Now, for many families, it's a handy stop for quick essentials, especially when you're in a rush and need to grab a drink or some snacks. However, the atmosphere can be a little off-putting, with some parents noting that the staff haven't always been the friendliest.

While some locals find it a convenient oasis when you're in the middle of nowhere, others have had less than pleasant experiences, with mentions of rude staff and a generally unwelcoming vibe. If you're after a quick pit stop, it's worth popping in, but just be prepared for the potential of a less-than-enthusiastic greeting.
