    I don't know whether any of them still do it, but years ago one of the pound shops in Leicester used to have a sign up that said you would get your shopping for free if you weren't given a receipt. I presume it was to stop the staff ripping off the shop, but as it turns out I never had a chance to take advantage of the policy.

    In Poundland today- colgate toothbrushes ( zigzag) and toothpaste were buy one get one free at ... £1!

    I was going to post this offer earlier but you've saved me a job. :) There were no signs up about the BOGOF in the Poundland I went in. Luckily, the shop assistant told me about it and I went back and stopped up on a few more. :)

    another thing, I asked in my local 99p store about a product they had advertised on a huge poster (Cillit bang), i asked where it was, and no-one in the store could understand what I was saying... (Or any other word of english for that matter)

    My husband went into Poundland a few months ago and asked him if they had any torches. The assistant was totally bewildered and my OH ended up standing there describing what a torch looked like and what it does. :D

    In the end the bewildered shop assistant just said that they didn't have any and walked away looking confused!

    A couple of years ago I had a slight exchange with the charming "Manager" in my local Poundland.

    I had earlier bought about £20 worth of stuff. Didn't get a receipt. One of the things I bought was faulty so I took it back hoping to have it changed (I was a bit strapped for cash back then). She basically accused me, in front of customers and staff, that I was trying to diddle them out of a pound!!!

    When I disagreed she hollered at me "don't give me your attitude!"

    Needless to say I have never given the place my custom again.

    How on earth do these people get jobs with that sort of customer service "skill" I'll never know.
    That;s why she ended up working at poundland
