Whats your least favourite shop?

[girlfriend44]

Your least favourite shop/shop you've had problems with. Shops you don't go in anymore.

Anything we can learn?

Sports Direct.
No customer service.

Mainly young staff who have no clue about customer service. Like Robots in there. Soulless place.

Clothes that aren't the size they are labelled, so its misleading.
Googled this and apparantely its quite common.
Don't want to give refunds easily when other shops do.

Well Sports Direct of course. I occasionally find myself in there for a football or swim shoes or something and end up composing angry letters to customer services in my head.

Plus the local shop where I sometimes have to pick up parcels and it’s a dingy, dusty, filthy and smelly little corner shop with nothing but alcohol and energy drinks and vapes. The bloke says not a word but sits behind his filthy plexiglass screen staring at his phone. The parcels seem to be kept on the floor under his feet. How do some people not even try to run a business?

My parents ordered a parcel to be delivered to a shop similar to this. There was a massive pile of parcels on the shop floor, on the customer side. So anyone could go in and if they recognise a shape and size of parcel and know contents are very valuable, they will steal them.

Now they order to collect from another shop but need to drive there as it’s 1.5 miles away

I remember some decades ago there was a physical branch of the Scotcade catalogue shop on Vicar Lane in Leeds. At the time I really didn't understand what the place was all about and why it was so tiny. Like Thrifty, it was one of those quaint shops my Mum liked. I wouldn't say it wasn't a favourite, it was just a rather peculiar place that to me had no obvious purpose.

I've just Googled Trago Mills and it looks great! What's the problem there?

B&Q makes me feel panicky- I think it’s because I feel hemmed in by the high shelving and lack of windows.

Asda, always so crusty and grotty and rather bleak.

The Asda I go to isn't a bit like that Morrisons on the other hand is.

Primark - the synthetic smell and mess makes me want to leave.

M&S food sections - colder than the Antarctic, and absurd prices (though the food is generally really good - I never buy it myself, but a friend does 😀😋)
