I’m writing to share feedback about a recent visit to your store, as I believe it’s important to highlight both customer and staff experiences.
While I was paying for a bag and my husband was purchasing other items, I informed the sales assistant — who I believe may have been the manager — that we would be paying separately. She turned to my husband and said “naughty,” which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. When I reacted, she explained it was British humour, but the comment felt uncomfortable and out of place in that setting.
Later, we noticed that the bag I had already paid for was added to my husband’s receipt. When he questioned it, she stated it was to “save paper” and assured us he wasn’t being charged again. Still, it created confusion and added to the tension. My husband expressed his discomfort, and I stepped away while he completed the purchase because the atmosphere had become so unpleasant.
In addition to our experience, I observed the same assistant speaking to her colleagues in a very rude and abrupt tone — for example, instructing someone to “get upstairs or u will fold these clothes not me” in a sharp and dismissive manner. It made the environment feel tense for both staff and customers. Even if there were internal conflicts, they should not be visible to customers or affect the store environment. We noticed that we weren’t the only ones who felt uncomfortable — other customers around us appeared unsettled as well.
We truly value good customer service, and this experience was disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as we believe in creating respectful, welcoming environments for everyone — especially when it comes from those in leadership positions.
