now i love it BUT as i walked around it yestreday i thought:

someof hte stuff there is really expensive
surely if yo have loads of money you shop at flasher places?

also are allt he staff robots?

whya re they obsessed with labels? ( as in price labels)

I think people shop there because everything is under one roof so it's quicker.

Not sure about the staff, but they are not staff but partners I think

I guess they have a stock control system which needs the labels.

But how many flasher places are there within easy range of So'ton Cod? (although Christopher Wray lighting is very good and French and Sons for childrens shoes)

And don't forget - "they are never knowingly undersold"

it si great but annoyingly predictable

Come on tho can you be arsed to drag round loads of diff. shops with screaming kids when you can get it all there?

Yep, there is an awful lot to be said for that CD.

And not every shop offers such an efficient 'Customer Collections' service

Agree it can be spenny but is worth it
Agree is not v cutting edge either

but then sometimes they suprise you...

Just come back from JL. Love it but some of the customers are scary. Very, very Cheshire yummy mummy

Really like JL on the few occasions have been in one!

But Don't have one near me - nearest in Bristol (40 miles away at least!)

It's good for basics

BASICS I tell you

I lurking enviously
you know how I miss JL

and argos

i don't like john lewis much!

I have only been once as both of the ones near me are too far away to bother with, one being in the Trafford Centre . I got a brochure the other day in the paper though and some of the toys looked good.

that's sacrilege - explain yourself!!!!

i just think it's a bit blah

I love it especially now I get 25% discount off all my shopping. I have just finished doing all my Christmas shopping in there.

"..and argos"??

wow
25% off?
ffs

I am a John Lewis partner

they call their staff "partners"
god that is so pretentious.

But they are partners!

how so?

well some sort of notional profit sharing in the form of a bonus..

It is a partnership involving all staff.

Found this

'Unique' is the word to describe The John Lewis Parnership which includes 23 department stores, waitrose supermarkets and a stake in the internet delivery service ocado. It is a company where staff are called 'partners' who each recieve a bonus out of the company's profits each year in March, the remaing profit is put back into the company to keep it a viable business. (The bonus is a given percentage of the parner's annual pay. 2002: 9%.) Which is why the company is called a partnership. These ethics were the ideas of the company's founder who was called John Lewis whose ideas at the time were revolutionary. John Lewis began in business by importing and selling silk fabric, Haberdashery and fabric are still sold at John Lewis department stores today.
