  • "Well what an absolute Joke! Went into buy a light fitting and a shelf and nearly two hours later we managed to leave the shop..paid three times for everything due to a computer error on their part and I am now nearly £600 down until they release my pending funds in 7 - 10 days!!"
  • "Seems to be luck of the draw whether they give you help when you ask."
  • "Social distancing queue is pointless and you have to use a trolley even for one item."
  • "Very busy at the tills and quite difficult to exit if you don't purchase anything."
