Who do the staff in this shop think they are ? To say the least they are Indifferent , rude , and extremely unhelpful , do they not realize , that without me , the customer , they are out of a job , Going into this shop should be fun , an adventure , looking for treasures and taking in donations at the same time .. I will never donate to this place ever again , and I think the main reason that they do get donations at all , has to be the ease of parking , as there is nothing else to recommend the staffs manner when you take stuff in ..They treat you as if you have just crawled out from under a stone they are ungrateful for donations , never a glimmer of a thank you , and when you buy clothing , they are outraged if you do not bring the hanger back to the counter with you , I believe it must be a punishable offence !!! ` Not so long ago , I took in three bags of pretty good stuff , a lot new , I got to the door with my bags and put them down for a breather ! ( they were heavy ) and was greeted instantly , with "You can't leave those there , you have to take them to the back of the shop " This is a young man on this occasion !! and as I am obviously of generous years , I think he should have offered help . , but instead against my better judgement , I hauled them one by one to the back of the shop , while he watched me do so without a suggestion of help , or thanks for the donation.. When I go in this shop I feel somehow I'm on hallowed ground and I am honoured to be in there ,, THIS IS A CHARITY SHOP where everything is donated , its not Harrods for goodness sake , though one might be forgiven for thinking so with the inflated prices of the furniture , which of course is also DONATED FOR FREE ,,, Wake up bosses and refurbish your staff , Do the staff read these reviews , ? can they even ?

nice modeern unit and dare I say that's why some things esp furniture are really overpriced! Clothes at 3 quid each are ok and plenty of choice. take your own bubble wrap tho if you're buying ornaments. Bought one the other day, a lovely delicate floral thing and when I paid they just handed it me back with my reciept with no offer of wrapping..so take your own packing materials!

Unappreciative staff, no empathy or adequate communication. To all the other people who gave negative reviews I totally understand your feelings I experienced the same. Take your donations elsewhere, they have no understanding of value.
