BEDROCK Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Having been to many shops I have found that quite a few especially the ones at Crystal Peaks do not realise customers need to get out. Shops being Iceland and Wilkinsons to name a few. You go round and have a look but decide there is nothing you like so find yourself the other side of the shop, but especially in Iceland the tills are always rammed and those that are empty like Wilkinsons have lines or bollards up so you cannot get through so you have to retrace all your steps to the only door in the corner to actually leave. Maybe shops think that every single person who enters will spend money hence the 1 way system. Perhaps they put bollards up to force people to spend so you don't have to walk back to the other side of the store to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Chaos Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Usually the ones that don't buy anything,have just done that,not bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie824 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Bedrock, I totally agree! Wilkinson's in particular drives me mad, I've been redecorating my daughters room and although Wilko's is very useful it sometimes doesnt have the size/colour I need (been looking for curtains, curtain rails etc). In these cases, I don't buy anything and then struggle to get back out of the shop. I usually have to send one of the children to the door as someone's coming in then they can 'hold' it open so I can sneak out the in door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_Kelly23 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 worst ones have got to be mobile phone shops, you go in and wait to speak to someone about some small matter when they are selling someone a add on which means they can talk to their friends while they are on the bog that only costs an extra £100 a month, this can take between 45 minutes to 4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
