The grumpy old dinner witch telling me I can't pay by card for gas and electric even though we were able to on Saturday when she wasn't there, shocking I know. She then decided to outright refuse the fact we have paid on Saturday via card whilst the small cuckold boy behind the counter who served us cowered in fear behind said dinner witch and failed to validate the facts. Complete joke as we then went to Tesco and paid via card as Tesco is currently part of the 21st century. This dinner witch's customer service is shocking and 'it' should be removed from her post and go back to scaring kids who don't eat their vegetables. With her face like thunder and one that only a mother could love, heaven forbid if we were in an emergency just my dinner break getting wasted by an incompetent oxygen thief.
A Dreadful service now. WHsmith limiting counter staff and opening times. I can only assume they have grabbed the Post Office franchise as last desperate attempt to be relevant on the High Street. This once great business has gone from a respected highstreet retailer to a retailer that Robs you at hospitals and airports. It would now seem the Post Office will be managed the same way, to suit WHSmith not customers. Please don't bother with the genetic "we are sorry to hear blah blah blah"
It's generally busy here, if you need just to send a package or letter, try not to go first thing as there is more than likely going to be a queue. Lunchtime and just before the end of the working day is also quite busy so try and squeeze inbetween those times and you will fly through hopefully. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I've never had a problem here.
