PSA: Don't trust the opening hours on B&Q's website!

According to B&Q:

  1. You should always phone the store to check they are open before setting off as the hours on their website for that branch may not be accurate.
  2. Even if you do this, you might still turn up to find them closed as B&Q reserve the right to close if there are not enough customers in store.

This is in addition to:

  1. Having no staff to get heavy items off high shelves
  2. Having to scan your own large, heavy items at the checkouts whilst 2 or 3 members of staff stand gossiping in front of a "Charity" Noticeboard.
  3. Being asked at the till and at the exit to donate to their chosen charity - virtue signalling and tax write off reasons, presumably!
