Poundland in ED

[Cancerian]

Was meeting a friend for lunch today in ED and thought I’d make a quick visit to the Poundland beforehand as my usual store I visited closed down in Camberwell last year.

As soon as I entered was confronted by very loud beat music blaring away (couldn’t wait to get out) and no staff around to serve on the till. The 3 self service tills were all closed so had to wait over 5 minutes to pay. Just hope they can up their game as they have a prime position in ED.

I bought three pairs of cheap reading glasses there  Bargain.  If you have an issue complain.  I did for some bird food a few years ago.  Got a voucher.

Popped in there earlier today and picked up Doritos advertised as 2 packs for £3.20 At the checkout the cashier insisted it was £2 each. Spoke to the Manager who insisted all the crisps and snacks pricing were wrong and the offers were finished!!! 
Just paid for my fabric softener and left the shop. 
They shouldn’t be allowed to do that!

I had this in B&M the other day. The price ticket said £1 and £1.25 was crossed out. They refused to give me the items at £1 and when I complained to head office, they said it was at the shop’s discretion! Apparently the offer had expired and so the items were scanning at the full price!

Shops cancelled refuse by law to sell you items at the ticket price.  Obviously not good for reputation.  I always like to give a good news story as social media tends to go the other way.  Ignoring that one of my first posts on this forum was about poor service from a local trader!

Maybe the few staff only end up with a pound an hour with the rising Starmer bills and the rotten council tax deductions? they probably don't really care? who can blame them.

The sooner it closes down the better…

Ooooh!

I love a pound store.

[Cancerian]

So do I (love a pound land) and wouldn’t want it to close but as it’s such a new store it does need to be an enjoyable experience.

It serves its purpose and saves you a few quid here and there. Never had a bad experience or poor service when shopping there.
