Whats your least favourite shop?

I hate B&M, find it depressing just being in one, draughty, cold, bleak and not even that cheap. And for some reason that I can't explain, all Morrisons.

I notice this too. I took a faulty phone in for repair at Samsung. It isn’t very old. Not even an apology that it’s failed so soon and the inconvenience of bringing it in for repair, then going back to collect it. So rare to have an apology when things go wrong now.

No, there are no self-service tills in Lidl for people who want to use cash. They are changing all the self-service tills to CASHLESS. The manned tills they have open are very few (usually 1 or 2) so people who want to use cash have to use these now.

Usually the queues for the manned tills are massive now that they have changed their self-service tills to all cashless. It's a crap system and is penalising people who want to use cash by making it as difficult as possible.

Is it mean to say a charity shop?
Local, independent shop raising money for a cat charity. Some of the staff smoke and everything stinks.

M&S since they brought in self service check outs for the clothes. Why did they think their customer base would want this? And the Sparks card is utterly useless.

I've just thought of another shop, M&S. The one nearest to me that sells everything, no longer has a pay till upstairs where the cafe is so if you get something upstairs you have to park your trolley or basket somewhere in the lingerie section so you can use the cafe. I seethe with rage every time I go in there.

I then went to the huge M&S bit further afield and lo and behold, the same bloody thing. No tills upstairs!

I long for the olden days when you could go into stores and find several tills where you could pay for your goods, you didn't need a map and a compass to locate the only pay till in the place!

IKEA.

Never, ever, ever again.

Argos. Terrible customer service. Bought a robot vacuum, it didn’t work. Took it back after 3 days and they told me to contact the manufacture or they could send it away to been examined. Took 3 days talking to customer service online chat to get it sorted.

ASDA. Like shopping in an aircraft hangar. Makes me depressed.

Tesco. Don’t know why, I just hate it.

Sports Direct. The smell. The jumble sale presentation. The utter contempt I sense from the staff (don’t blame them, I’d be in a permanent bad mood if I had to work there).

Urban Outfitters. The fact I feel like Methusalah’s mother as soon as I walk in.

Lush.

Terror supporters.

You know those security things that make a clicking noise that they attach to products? I can't be near those.
In our Dunelm, they put boxed duvets with them on , on the same shelves as all the covers so that ruled out lots of aisles I just couldn't go down.
Tesco can be the same with their electronics.

Lush. It took me 3 separate visits to buy some solid perfume. I just wanted to stand there on my own and work out which I wanted but each time I went in I had someone stood there making me smell things I wasn't interested in and I left empty handed. Just leave me alone.

Asda. Shockingly shit wine. Don't like the colour of the floor tiles. Checkout staff in my local one will have you stood at the till for 15 minutes whilst they have a natter - not joking. Last time I politely apologised for interrupting but explained I had to get back to work so could she please pop my items through the till. Jesus - that did NOT go down well. Half the self service tills flashing red or orange despite no one being on them. The other half with people stood there waiting for assistance and a queue that spans half way up the adjacent aisle. Crap selection of salad.
Handy to grab children’s clothes though.

That’s an easy one, Smyths Toys.

Thought of another one. A local boutique which sells a random mixture of clothing. I have a friend who likes to shop there.
You cannot enter the shop without the salesman asking what size are you?
Eh? I’m not even buying anything mate, I’m just here with my friend.
Next it’s, this is new in, the colour would suit you, look at the quality. Hmmm yes very nice. Do you want to try it on? Not really, I don’t want a jacket.
Oh, how about some trousers? What size are you? How about these lovely grey tweed trousers?
Err no thanks, I don’t want any more trousers.
What about a dress then? This one is lovely and just your colour. Hmm, no it looks far too long for me, thanks. Well, we do have shorter dresses ……

I agree about Lush. I no longer go in. Feel like a gazelle amongst hungry lions. As soon as you enter they pounce. Asking what you want, questioning you. What is it for who is it for, do you want x or y? They really, really don’t like you just browsing.
Desperate to sell you anything. Won’t leave you alone.

I get that but if I’m about to spend £150 on a pair of trainers I’d like to be sure they fit

Sports Direct no refunds.
TK Maxx full of rubbish.
Starbucks filthy, especially toilets.
Morrisons dreadful lighting.

Lush

I find it all so overwhelming in there and very expensive and you can't even just browse casually without someone jumping on you 'HELLO DO YOU NEED ANY HELP? WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY X?'

SCS the salespeople stalk you around the shop listening in to your conversations and pop up with their own input about a suite. I refuse to go there now after a very appalling experience from one member of staff who wouldn’t leave us alone, even followed us into the car park.

My local branch of Boots.

The lighting is awful. You literally have to feel your way along the shelves.

They have no chance of me ever making an impulse buy there…

The range. So many prices missing and stuff everywhere.

W H Smith (even though I usually love a stationery shop!). It's felt unwelcoming for ages - gloomy, cramped and hard to find an assistant. If you did get someone on a till, they'd try to flog you extra sweets or something you didn't want. I'm glad they're closing the high street branches.

OMG!!! This is absolutely hideous 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

These stories need to be taken further about Sports Direct. It’s theft! Shocking. You should all get in touch with each other and contact one of the big consumer groups like resolve. Not ok at all that this has happened to you!! Xx

Our local post office. I get worked up at the thought of having to go. Unbelievably slow and whilst you stand in the interminable queue you have to look at the most revolting and random tat ever seen which I refuse to believe anyone buys.
