Dan s Not The Man
Hillstreet Centre Middlesbrough High StreetOh dear where shall I start I was Barred unknowinglyDan manager if you are reading this here is my side The first encounter January I came back to the shop after my final shift in December as I was looking for something that sticks to the wall but can be removed without damaging it I know you had it because I had helped many customers while working there as a Christmas Temp to retrieve them I had asked Ryan for assistance as he was a member of staff on shift for the day He looked at me and said No I m not gonna help you I asked why and he gave me an unreasonable answer by saying the thing I was looking for did not exist I had told him that it did exist as I had helped many customers in my time retrieve them I knew they were in the shop I didn t know where though Horrible customer service The Second Encounter There is not much to say for this day as I had asked the Assistant Manager if they had some products in stock and without a second glance she went to look in the back Great Customer Service The Third Encounter I came in to the store today and was looking for a men s manicure set and asked yet again Ryan if he knew where they were He said I was barred from the store and by the Assistant Manager I thought he was joking as he is a broody sarcastic ex co-worker but he kept stating the same over and over again I thought he was joking so I shrugged it off He then said the Assistant Manager had barred me from the store Still taking this as a joke I had gone to find one final product when I was at the checkout I was told by Imogen that I was barred from the store bearing in mind that there were other co-workers who were present but they looked confusingly at me and Imogen from that statement On my way home I called Ez and asked her if she was able to ask Dan to contact me She did so and soon I received a call from you at home I ll tell the public the restI was told I had created a disturbance while being on the premises I was distracting the workersI was annoying the customersI was creating a problemI do admit to raising my voice towards the end when he said he won t listen This man did not let me speak for the entire call as he was adamant that I was in the wrong As far as I am concerned he had a one sided biased opinion and did not want to listen to my side I do admit to raising my voice towards the end when he said he does not want to hear my side and said I was barred I wasn t told how long for Other employees are fine and nice to be around Just look out for Dan and Ryan they are not what they seem to be Dan you have my number call me and we can sort this out

Very badly runned
Most of the shelves are empty and nothing is priced up and when you pick something up and take it to the till it a different price what it says on the shelves and different price at the till and security staff are either on there phones or talking and the lady who is meant to be the management don t know what she doing and the staff need to smart themselves up and not have there phones on them

Check your change and your receipt
I was almost overcharged in the sunderland store today I had 2 items and had worked out roughly what the cost should be at the till of 2 I was asked for 50p more than it should be i e 2 50 and when I queried it she said 2 15p I said that I thought she d said five oh 50 and she replied no fifteen I paid and walked away When I checked my change and the receipt I found she had actually charged me 50p too much I d stood in the queue for ages in the first place but had to go back into the store and take a photo of the item on the shelf which showed the price as 1 and not the 1 50 she d charged me I had to queue again and when I showed her the picture on the shelf of the correct price her response was Well the till says 1 50 After advising I wouldn t be paying 1 50 for a 1 item she eventually rang a bell A while later a guy with glasses turns up I explained the situation to him and instead of sorting it out properly he just asked if I wanted a refund So I left the shop without the item as I wasn t prepared to pay 50 more for it Customer service in this store is shocking Despite querying the price at the check out I was fobbed off and still overcharged Had I not checked my receipt I wouldn t have known I d been ripped off One of my pet hates is poorly trained staff and those shops that overcharge you If they overcharge every customer by 50p they ll be quids in For me it s not the amount I m overcharged but the principle of it I would suggest anyone shopping here works out roughly what the cost should be before you get to the till and always check your receipt and your change

Check your receipt carefully
I ve had the same negative experience as other reviewers The price shown in the shelf isn t necessarily the price you pay I purchased Malibu sunlotoin priced up as a special offer at 2 50 but I was charged 3 49 at the till When I queried it the manager said the bottles had been put on the wrong shelf There wss no apology but he did offer a refund I won t be shopping there again

Wouldn t work here again
The one star is because HR managed to sort a lot of the issues out yet still left jobless Our rotas were manipulated the staff all had a good gossip and laugh at anyone new They take people on say how much they re going to pass probation to fail them because they only needed workers for a few weeks Budget won t allow the staff needed so asked to work for free Mouse traps used and not checked daily I myself smelt and found a rotting mouse Unsafe work conditions I was told j would be given a uniform that never happened I was asked to work through my break despite me nearly passing out because my blood sugar was low This may only be this certain store but I haven t set foot in any since HR sorted a lot of issues but current staff are saying some things haven t changed just someone got sacked The actual job itself isn t too bad just like any other retail shop job
