Home bargains hell.

[ilovepixie]

Just visited Home Bargains for the first time. What a horrible shop. Full of the great unwashed and plastic tat! People standing around talking, you can’t get past them. The queuing system is mad! Everyone stands up one aisle and then goes to a till when it’s free. What wrong with queuing normally behind each individual till.
You may save a few pence but you’ll loose your sanity!

Well I hope your cafes are better than
Chattanoogachoo’s in Enniskillen@RubynRita* *

no coffee in the cafe, basic tea despite the reference to speciality teas. An ancient leaking teapot despite the store only being open for about 6 weeks.
I readily admit to being a tea and coffee snob but struggle with them not even having an Americano.

Write to Tommy, Chatta! He needs to get off that yacht and sort it out.

And another thing. HB’s plants are superb. Our geraniums pelargoniums are still in flower, not quite the same shade as our Christmas serviettes napkins.

Thanks for starting this thread OP.

BernadetteJune SERVIETTES???
Clutches pearls and faints.

Love hb one just opened less than 5 mins from me they don't have that queing system there or the other 2 that are local

Go and pick on someone else. There are plenty of other people here who assumed the OP was being serious (and I'm still not convinced she wasn't. It's the sort of thing people pretend was 'just banter' when it really wasn't.)

Lose...an educated but clearly filthy animal.

Indeed, SERVIETTES! What’s wrong with a sheet of kitchen towel torn along the perforations?

Sorry to hear about Chattanoogas disappointing cafe experience. I'm a fair few miles from Enniskillen and the store I go to is large with a garden centre.
The cafe staff there are so friendly and get and give hugs from their regulars.

I simply adore Home Bargains and I’m terribly wealthy.

I send our housekeeper once a fortnight for the cleaner’s products, snacks for tradesmen and gifts for charitable events.

Stop rubbing it in @RubynRita. 😂

What makes this funny is the fact you think it’s below you. But you have now entered its doors which means you’re one of the great unwashed 🤗

😂@mangoandmelonsmoothie I ❤️ Home Bargains cafe.

@ilovepixie - "... The queuing system is mad! Everyone stands up one aisle and then goes to a till when it’s free. What wrong with queuing normally behind each individual till..."

Apologies if this point has already been made, but what you describe is much more efficient, more sensible, and quicker than queuing behind each till.

Best to go early morning or at night so you can look at things and no queues.

‘You may save a few pence but you’ll loose your sanity!’

It’s ‘lose’ not ‘loose’.

I love having a mooch in Home Bargains! Always come out of there with £50 worth of stuff that I never knew I needed 🤣🤣🤣

Right-ho - one less (clearly illiterate) person to take up space.

Its true though to be fair.

The sort of place you see an XL Bully with a harness on saying 'support dog'.

We go to save money on household cleaning type stuff and the bath salts but we look a bit different. We also wash before we go.

He used to live round the corner from us. It’s a lovely house, but not where you’d expect a billionaire to live. I think his son still lives there.

Which cheek I wonder, face or arse.

Home bargains has loads of branded things. The washing detergent section is fab I always stock up.

Where do you prefer OP?

Are you so lacking in critical thinking skills that you think your one and only experience in one branch is reflective of all people in all branches? It makes me laugh sometimes when people like you who think they’re better than everyone else, makes themselves look thick as mince. Use a bit of common sense and maybe realise why it might be a bit busier and chaotic in there this week.

I was jabbed in the ribs and called a “selfish tart” in M&S, by some woman who was angry I got the last Colin Caterpillar cake. Chaos at the tills there too, everyone seemed to think their time was the more important. Im not so thick as to think its like that all the time, people were LOSING their minds because it was a known busy period and full of women stressing their tits off trying to make the Xmas magic happen.

Im looking forward to the florentines they did last Christmas. We stocked up on those.

Do be careful about pricing, they're not always cheaper, Ive been stung a few times, making assumptions about that

I’ll report back if I see an XL bully as a support dog in HB @soupyspoon.

Isn't that a good thing. Products that can exist for years.
My mum finally retired her plastic (yes plastic 😱) bread bin this year.
She got it in 1969.
It went in the recycling.

Why "hopefully".
It's a shop. It sells things.
What would you do if you've run out of (for example) toilet paper, sanitary towels or cat food and that was the only shop available?
Go without?
