HeadingNorth Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Shop elsewhere, I would. Because they haven't banned poppies? Or for some other reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Do they charge a quid for a poppy? I bet they're cheaper at the 99p shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcspb1 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Dear PCSPB1 Thank you for contacting Poundland. I would like to make it clear that we have never banned the wearing of Poppies anywhere in the organisation. In fact many of our colleagues are proudly wearing them this year as normal. What has happened is that in one store in Northern Ireland a manager interpreted the existing dress code as meaning that no matter what all insignia should not be worn. This is our fault for not making it explicit within the dress code that Poppies can be worn by anyone who wishes to. We are currently redrafting the dress code to ensure that it is made absolutely crystal clear that colleagues can and always have been able to wear them. Poundland apologises for any unintended offence that has been caused. Kind Regards Customer Relations Poundland Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
