Sainsburys half price toys... Please read! IM SHOCKED!

Hello,

I wanted to get my boy some toys for this xmas and next and also for his birthday and also for some friends and spent £300 I wanted to pick up on some shocking things today.

1/ The amount of customers that pick up stuff and then just put it on the floor, why not put the item back where you got it?

2/ The idiot customer that i noticed takin toys out of other customers trollys and then having it.

3/ The people that push into you and do not say sorry or just want to run you down.

4/ I saw one customer tell staff to check for more of the item they wanted and said something like "its your job to refill these shelfs"

I went to 3 stores today.

Enfield, Wandsworth and A3 near M25 and the shocking was the Wandsworth store. I spoke to a manager as he had to help the staff with bad customers and he said that he was shocked to the rudeness of people.

On a good note. The manager said they was getting 2 artics (52 euro plts a day) for the next week so there will be loads of toys. you dont need to rush!

Cheers. MY rant over.

    Perhaps better in the vent forum as it would seem a more appropriate place for a rant.
  • the way this topic was titled i thought it had something to do with the missing emails that sainsbury customers are still waiting for to verify their orders/despatch

    was feeling kind of sick for them there.

    Fair enough rant and rave etc etc but this is quite obviously not a grab it!!! I think you'd be better posting else where.........

    I'm afraid that's just customers for you. I've worked in retail for 12 years and when people are looking for a bargain, all manners go out the window, regardsless of where you are.
  • totally forgot about this today ...was instore as well lol ...ours only has a small toy aisle ... will head there tommorow see whats left
  • Haha...i bet they were fellow MSE'rs.....it annoys me when you post a bargain, it sells out pretty quick, yet you get very few thanks....but hey ho, it won't stop me posting a deal
    Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.:D
  • and i bet ebay is full of mse'rs making a bomb cashing in.
    their choice though. i just dont think that mse should be used for that purpose!
    yes, i know, vent board! lol
