TSG Rosny

TSG Rosny in Tasmania is your typical suburban tobacconist, stocking all the usual suspects like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters. They’re open pretty much all week, running from 8 in the morning till 6 at night Monday through Friday, with slightly shorter hours on weekends – opening at 9 on Saturdays and 10 on Sundays.

Look, I’ve got to be straight with you about this one. While some visitors say they’ve had friendly encounters, quite a few have mentioned that the customer service can be a bit hit and miss. We’ve heard stories about staff being a tad preoccupied with personal conversations while customers wait, and some reckon the product knowledge could use a boost. One bloke mentioned waiting around while staff finished up a chat with their mate, only to see someone who came in after them get served first. Not exactly what you want when you’re in a hurry, right?

The store accepts all the usual payment methods – you can pay by card, EFTPOS, or cash, whatever suits you. They stock what you’d expect from a tobacconist, though we’ve heard a few grumbles about product quantities not quite matching up to what was expected. One customer actually went to the trouble of weighing their purchase and wasn’t too chuffed with the result.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag, this one. While it’s conveniently located and carries all the basic tobacco products you might need, the experience can vary depending on who’s behind the counter on any given day. Some long-time customers have mentioned they’ve had to look elsewhere after less-than-stellar encounters with staff. Might be worth keeping that in mind if you’re thinking of dropping by.
