I went there to return an item I had bought off the Amazon website; didn't really understand the process and asked a few questions about a card he had given me, proof that I had received a parcel from me to be returned via Hermes. On the rear of the card it had spaces for the date & #of parcels that had been left blank. I asked why that part hadn't been filled in to which I was told that it wasn't necessary. Another fellow joined the conversation and was quite cocksure & awfully rude. He seemed to take objection to my questions bearing in mind I wasn't speaking to him in the first instance. The gentleman I was speaking to said It's all right you can fill that part in yourself, I've scanned it. He then said Don't you believe me,to which "I replied no, I don't trust anyone"! What I meant was that I hadn't believed him before but now that he'd explained it to me all was fine. This other man; the rude one began very aggressively to say I should take my parcel then whilst showing me the door. I was completely taken aback with this fellow I tried explain that I had been misunderstood at the same time befuddles as the temper tantrum. He was extremely rude so I asked him what I had said to get him so upset but he just kept repeating There's the door, thank you very much! Whilst I asked him whether or not I had the right to ask qustions if I didn't know something & why had he gotten so upset. I am 56 years of age and don't expect to be spoken to/ treated the way he did me.. Needless to say I shan't be going there again. What it really boiled down is a proper understanding of the language, referring to the man who processed my parcel. As for the other one maybe he didn't like the hue of my skin.. See said card in photograph. A very simple occurrence that turned silly because someone feels like a "jack the lad, big shot"!

Great staff that keep the shop going and are all very down to Earth. Always nice to have a 5 or 10 minute chat with while the shop isn't busy and are always courteous. If I had to complain about anything, all I'd say is that they sometimes don't rotate stock often enough so, occasionally, you can buy a few pints of milk that are labelled as in date but smell and taste half-sour. This is only a rare occurrence though, and can easily be fixed by being honest and letting them know. I think people are scared to raise their opinions in shops today, so rather than honestly tell a shopkeeper that some of their produce has gone out of date, they'd rather give them a bad name online. A very good shop with a great Hermes pick-up and drop-off point, cheap prices, decent (though limited due to its size) stock, and all around a great alternative to your major retail competitors and more established corner shops.
