To anybody complaining about the state of some of the Primark shops remember it is YOU, the customer, that has caused it ... in our local Primark there are assistants continually tidying up after the animals have had a good rummage through.

Could not agree more. I always if shopping and knock something off a rail I always pick it, dust if off and put it back. I never just walk over it.

I never see this jumble sale look any where else. So why primark is so bad I never know. I am sure the staff do there best.

But as I said before it is not me that leaves it in a state as I just don't shop there. So it is all the rest of you :snow_laug

I am sorry to hear of the abuse your daughter has suffered and the stress that you have suffered from. And anyone doing customer facing jobs runs the gaunlet of it. And to it is beyond disgusting. They talk to you worse then a piece of doggy do on their shoes.

My OH is a postman and gets really annoyed at the verbal abuse he gets from people he delivers to. He came in fuming yesterday because he'd knocked on a door to deliver a parcel. A bleary eyed lady answered and gave him some choice words for knocking her out of bed on a night shift. How was he supposed to know that? Why order something if you know you're going to be in bed when it's delivered?

He's also recently been abused for delivering damp letters in bad weather

Excuse my language but !!!!!! is wrong with people today. Your OH does not know they are on night shift.

I was brought up and not dragged up like some people. I was taught to have respect for authority and to say please and thankyou. Which I always do when needed.

I really have my doubts that society is getting better. It is turning in to self obessed, money grabbing, consumer spending society. Always looking after number and not caring about anyone else.

unfortunately society is getting worse and worse.

again if i knock something off a rail in a shop i pick it up and put it back where it came from.

i went to my local primark recently. walked in and walked straight back out again. the people in there were like animals, shoving and pushing and snatching things from other people. it looked like a jumble sale.

i used to work in a small newsagents/grocers and was behind the till no customers waiting when a women in her forties approached and said in a nasty way "you shouldn't be stood with your arms folded" what gives customers the right to abuse people?

another gripe with shoppers is holding the door open and no-one says thank you but look at you like S***E when you say "oh its okay i was stood here for my health anyway" - try it cheers up a busy shopping trip!!!

and Primark and babies eating - good on em

Tbh I really don't see what the problem is. Unless you tie their hands to their legs babies and toddlers will usually reach out to touch stuff when you are passing and with greasy, pastry covered hands they will get clothes dirty.

If you were to buy something from Primark and got it home only to discover bits of food on it, I am sure you would be the first to complain.

If the little one was hungry then fine, feed them but do it outside the store and clean their hands afterwards. Stores are perfectly justified in asking customers to leave if they are eating or drinking on the premises and many have a sign to that effect.

Slightly OT but my friends little girl (2.5yrs) is a right little monkey. We were shopping in town a few months ago, walking down the high street, when she suddenly pulled a shoe out from under her blanket and started waving it around!!! We very shamefacededly took it back to the shop to return it. It has to be one of the most embarrassing experiences I have ever had to endure! Shoplifting at 2.5yrs!!! God knows what the shop assistant thought. Oh well, I am sure there will be plenty more such situations when my little one is older!

my little sister used to do that when she was in her buggy. mum would be paying at the checkout for something and she'd be sat in the buggy nicking sweets off the shelf!

to say my mum was mortified is an understatement.

I agree with the majority. I never go into any shops eating and have never let my children do so. As soon as we get near a shop door my kids automatically hand me their food, sweets, drinks etc to put away until we leave and have done since they were under 1 year old and in their pushchairs.

When I saw the title of this, I assumed it was about feeding them with your own food in a cafe or something (not that I know of a Primark with a cafe). I would never class an 18 month old as a 'baby' either. They are a toddler by that age so not too young to understand they have to either finish what they are eating before going into a shop, or wait until they leave.

If one child isn't stopped for eating a pasty, then why should an adult be stopped for eating a pasty? They will after all have more control of the mess and are less likely to touch things without wiping their hands. If you then allow a pasty, why not curry and chips? The point is that if everyone was allowed to eat in shops, not only would there be a huge mess, more chance of damaged goods and more chance of people slipping and hurting themselves on dropped food, but also a horrible smell that would get into the clothes. All shops have signs saying no food and drink. It is a simple rule that won't have a great negative effect on anyone's life and should therefore be followed.

As for the mess in Primark, I agree with others that it is the customers doing it and I have never seen staff standing doing nothing - they are always running around trying to re-fold and re-hang clothes. It's a strange phenomanon with low priced clothes. Even in more expensive shops I've noticed that their normal priced clothes are tidy and if people knock them down they pick them back up (mostly!), but the minute there are 'sale rails' the clothes are all over the place. It seems like you don't have to respect them once they are cheap!
