    Let me get this straight. You're criticising the level or service in Poundland???

    Are you for real?

    I often visit poundland, its on my lunchtime walk and I'm always looking out for a just in bargain.

    I have always found the staff to be helpful and courteous, if they do not know something then perhaps its because it has just been bought out without any info for them either. They usually know at the till though and if you take a single item and its 2 for a pound they say so.
  • If you consistently find the level of customer service in Poundland lacking then vote with your feet and shop elsewhere. Simple solution to a simple problem. :)

    You have to pay for good customer service, £1 isn't that!

    Q

    Which shop should give better service - a local newsagent selling a 30p paper/35p mars bar/ whatever
    or
    pound land selling something for, well £1

    In an idealistic world you should receive the same, top notch service in all stores, whether pountland or Debenhams -- however you don't, it it can usually be linked to price (which also usually reflects staff wages).

    For examples sake, M&S versus Primark.. chalk and cheese.. friendly & helpful versus grumpy & miserable.

    You don't expect the same level of service buying a pair of £15 shoes from ShoeZone as you would buying a £50 pair from Barratts.
