Jacksgranda Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Our local butchers had a makeover this last fortnight, it seems to have been more for the benefit of the staff, they don't need to nip into the back storage room so often as the shop has been enlarged so there is more produce on display for customers to take to the counter, or needing the shelves restocked as often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why they used to have sweets and snacks by the checkout, so that kids would pester their parents while they were having their stuff scanned. I think the rules were changed to stop that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's folk who get very good money to spout pish about about how folk 'flow' through supermarkets. 1 hour ago, GordonD said: Also why they used to have sweets and snacks by the checkout, so that kids would pester their parents while they were having their stuff scanned.

I could perhaps understand if it had been quite late but it was only about half seven. It's a pain in the arse self scanning stuff with a trolley full.

LondonHMFC Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Stupidly left my iPad in Dublin airport on Saturday, however it was found and I have been in contact to have it returned. It's an older model, and they are looking for £130 to send it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's lost property you could fly over from London for a quarter of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in there earlier. I've no idea if it's a ploy but by being a regular shopper there and not having a clubcard you'd have to be both clinically insane and damn near bankrupt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I'm sure this will have been mentioned in here before but I've just seen an advert for a barber shop called BRBR and it set a fire within me. Who started this braindead notion of removing vowels from a standard word for a "cool" business name? Not only do I hope these businesses fail but if there is anything I can do to accelerate that process I will now be actioning it. I believe this barber shop is in Inverclyde so I call on the P&B masses to bully them out of existence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
