CTC Dapto

CTC Dapto in New South Wales has become quite the local fixture, serving up all your typical tobacconist needs like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters. They’ve recently changed hands, and while some regulars reckon it’s made a difference, opinions are a bit mixed on that front.

The shop’s open from 7:30 in the morning until 7 at night, seven days a week, which is pretty convenient if you ask me. They take all sorts of payments too – whether you’re carrying cash, card, or prefer to tap and go with EFTPOS. What’s particularly nice is that they’ve also got a selection of gift items in the window display. One visitor mentioned picking up a pressie that was carefully boxed up for them, which is always a good touch.

When it comes to service, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag these days. Some folks absolutely rave about the staff, saying they’ve received some of the best customer service they’ve ever had. Others reckon it’s not quite up to scratch. The girls who work there get a few mentions for being particularly friendly, though.

Price-wise, it’s an interesting situation. A fair few visitors say the prices are reasonable, and one regular customer even switched to making this their go-to spot because of the fair pricing. But there’s been a bit of argy-bargy lately about inconsistent pricing – apparently depends on who’s serving you, which has got some customers a bit miffed. A few have even mentioned staff playing funny buggers with stock availability to push pricier options, something that’s raised a few eyebrows since it wasn’t the done thing with the previous owners.

If you’re in the area and need to stock up on your smoking supplies or are looking for a small gift, it might be worth popping in. Just keep an eye on the prices and maybe have a chat about what’s available before making your final choice.
