yes of course you are, more than entitled to do so, I was just showing what my experience had been, sorry to hear of your problems with trying to get them to help you. -
I don't think H&B can be doing very well. I went in yesterday to collect my order (lots of nuts. I freeze them. I eat a lot of nuts). The place was empty. The manager, who seemed to be the only member of staff there, was very helpful (I had to remove the nuts from the box to fit the order into my backpack, as the box wouldn't fit, so I think in future I will stick to getting things delivered!) But then he said, have a look around, you can have 10% off. But I didn't want to look around, because if there had been anything I wanted I would have added it to my order and got 22% off! Just wondering if they are offering everybody a discount to try to get people to buy things? I felt a bit sorry for him, rattling around by himself in a big empty shop. -
Their sausage and mash was an absolute bargain in the days when they did a really good veggie sausage and gravy. Then they got a new chef. The veggie sausages (I assume bought in, and from a different - presumably cheaper - source) became absolutely disgusting, verging on inedible. So no longer a bargain. If you are looking for a bargain lunch, head to Chern Thai, near the station. Lunchtime special 12 -3 Monday to Friday. £9 for a main, £12 for main plus starter. Thai lager on draft. Very nice food and lovely people.

They have considerably upped their prices since the refurb, in the larger shop at least (though to reflect generally better quality clothes etc being sold, to be fair) so they can probably afford it. It's "vintage" now, not "charity shop." 🤣 Annoying for people like me who have always frequented charity shops and found bargains, and now there are loads of people shopping there, and very few real bargains! I'm assuming it's the same trend for the children's shop as for adult charity shops.
