I went into Sommerfield last night to get some bits with my sister, and ended up buying a fair amount. We decided to split in our cards (done many times before).


I asked the lady if we could do this, and before I even finished my sentence she said 'no'. I said to her I had done it before so could she try. Again, she interrupted, and just said 'no, no, no'.


I didn't really care about splitting it that much, but thought I would push her on it. As expected, the nice manager came over and said 'of course you can split it, what is the problem?'


Maybe she wasn't sure how to do it, but why not just say? I wouldn't have cared. It just wound me up how rude she was. SHe didn't even bother to say sorry before, just starred at me with her attitude...

I had a similar experience in Somerfield when the cashier accused me of trying to pay for something with a ?5 note that had been withdrawn.


She was talking complete crap and I pointed out to her that the ?5 had been the same for years but the ?20 note had changed.


I always avoid that woman now if I do dare go to Somerfield (rarely).

Sulu - funny you say that, as my sister (a teacher), thought that was the case.


In all honesty I would not want her to feel silly, but I just thought the attitude was off, especially since there are many old ladies who shop in there - if she spoke to my nan like that I was go nuts.

It's up to Somerfield to ensure that their employees are able to do basic maths, especially if they are on the checkouts. Failing that, a quick lesson on how to use a calculator. It's unacceptable and the attitude described is appalling.

Non of this surprises me to be fair, since Somerfield took over from Gateway and the staff changed, that place has been a nightmare in every sense of the word. However, having said that I do know and talk to some of the people who work there and in all fairness they are really friendly.

Popped in quickly for some orange juice a little while ago. The cashier scanned one of the packs from a pack of four and put them through as four separate items which obviously was more expensive. I pointed this out to her but she insisted it was the same price as the 4-pack. With a long queue forming I didn't want to hold everyone up so went to check afterwards and of course it was more expensive individually so I had to go through a lengthy process of getting a refund and repurchasing. Very frustrating and instead of apologising for my inconvenience they made me feel like I was being a nuisance.


Best to always check your receipt too because I have noticed other errors in the past like not getting the BOGOF reductions.

Well as I have pointed out numerous times on this forum, despite the snobby attitude towards Iceland most of their food is is of a high standard and priced decently, the staff are always on the ball and helpful, and for those of you who believe in all that genetic modification and organic crap, they sell a large number of products which cater for this market. I know how much it pains many of you people to walk in their though and be seen standing in line next to working class people and penny savers!

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
