  • Are you sure the people with the trolley's weren't staff?

    In my local boots, off duty staff were friendly but they had the massive trollies (which aren't available to normal shoppers) again putting loads in of everything and hiding bits behind the till for when staff go on their breaks etc

    Buying to resell on eBay :mad: - hope they're declaring that income to HMRC :D

    That really shouldn't be allowed. Boots should put a limit on during sales:mad:

    They were definitely shoppers, I was going to buy hat box and went to the till but they were in front of me in the que. I didn't bother with the hat box, waiting for them to get through the till would've made me late for work!

    Just managed to order one and a gok set on-line after trying for an hour so I'm happy now :T

    Just managed to order a couple of things off .com which I have had in my favorites since Christmas. well thought I had - got to the paypal screen then got the "sorry screen". Refreshed several times only to have a message to say the items are now out of stock and my basket is empty.

    Boots you are so not funny.

    As much as I'd like to agree with this I think people need to remember why there is a 75% off sale. Boots want this stuff off their shelves to make way for the full-priced summer stuff. It is not in their interest to limit people
