Daily Needs Rice & Spices — Local services in Brisbane City

I’ve visited this store several times, and often my purchases are under $10. However, they have a minimum spend requirement of $10, which I find quite unreasonable. I haven’t come across many places that turn away customers over small purchases—it feels like they’re losing business because of it.

Tulsi Grocery, just across the road, doesn’t have such a limit, and other Indian stores in the area don’t enforce this kind of policy either. It feels like customers are being pushed to spend more unnecessarily.

We have been frequent customers at this store but with this experience we will take our...

The guy is very typically Indian, asked him to check if a parcel was there, he lied to me saying he was busy. I physically went there and he was not. Very rude and ignorant non cooperative. Very hard to deal with. If he actually was busy, how hard is it to take someone's phone number and call back? Just plain rude.Seems like I had much the same experience...
