I got to my store at 8.40 and all the wristbands had gone knew I should have got up earlier, still got some bargain in the sale though.

First of all Thank OP for the post! Got a few bargains!

Didn't stop me from getting annoyed at the store manager in Fosse Park though.

Arrived there, one of the first in the queue and waited one hour before the store opened, so was cold and tired (had to travel quite a distance to get there too, so up extra early.)

We queued for a very long time when waiting to pay for our goods after being at River island for well over 3 hours only to have one of our items, (priced at £17, a men's grey PU jacket) taken away from us at the till. We are not even sure of why this happened but the store manager said she was not willing to sell us the item at the price. No apology, and no explaination from the manager, she just strutted off with my partner's jacket, and went to get all the tags taken off of the rest of the jackets, leaving the lovely SA to deal with the confusion. We weren't able to get another item to make up the 10 items as we were already paying and didn't want to queue up all over again. So annoyed as it was the only thing he really wanted and was a present for getting up early to take me there.

Now, just as I was paying (before the jacket incident), a girl next to me who was paying also, was buying 2 pairs of jeans priced at £20 each (sale tag). The manager was explaining to her that even though the jeans were priced at £20, she wasn't going to take off the extra 50%. She said something like, ".....Sorry to have kept you, but we are right! I've got someone up there taking the sale tags off those jeans"....in a take it or leave it fashion, giving some poor excuse as to why the price of the jeans was wrong. It didn't even make any sense to me, so explaining it to you is pretty impossible. The poor girl just paid even though she was entitled to her extra 50% off for standing outside ages in the queue and having a band.

So she did it again. God knows how many more times she did this, thus removing items from the 10 item allowance and wasting our time by allowing 'wrongly' priced items to be up for sale.

River Island Fosse Park Manager, get it together!

Everyone else, check your reciepts!
