    ***DISGUSTING SERVICE*** Been a loyal customer [family of…read moreshoppers] at the store in Bury [Lancashire] for over a decade. Visited on 13-Sep-2021 and took 2 items to till both of which were in the sale section [lots of the same items were reduced]. Took items to till and and was informed by Team Leader or Manager that 1 of the items was not reduced. I asked if they would honour the price and first the staff member stated that customers change the labels! The insinuation here being that within seconds of entering the store and picking up the 2 items I had somehow managed to remove and replace the price tag in plane sight of security/staff [these items have tamper proof stickers so if you did try to peel them off they fall apart]. Then informed that all items had been reduced in error and they would not honour the price. The staff member basically did not want to resolve the issue and demonstrated a real bad attitude. I was with my wife so remained calm, polite throughout, did not raise my voice, did not swear. The only comments made by me were "this is not good service" and that "I will leave the items". I then contacted SmythsToys online to purely make them aware of the mislabelling and was informed [QUOTE] "....our staff will not tolerate abusive behaviour... we define abuse in our internal guidance as shouting, swearing, name-calling, threatening, disrespecting, personally insulting, or attempting to blackmail". It seems despite having security staff, CCTV, a full customer account of events where all a customer wants is an apology that SmythsToys would choose to trust a poorly trained and arrogant employee than loyal customer who ultimately pay their salaries. Think I will be buying all our computing games, toys, bikes etc from elsewhere.

    GAME made headings in June regarding the fact as a company they are struggling with a potential…read morebuyout by Mike Ashley and Sports Direct - take a look at this branch in Warrington's Golden Square and it is pretty easy to tell why. As well as the issue with mobile phones - which I've explained in detail in the review for the Brighton store, this store as a HUGE selection of pre-owned goods to the point it becomes more like an exchange store, similar to CeX so the selection of new products seemed to be quite rare in the store - the products that were "new" were really expensive too - much more expensive than giants Amazon and other retailers - now considering Game is the major player in their industry with no other store which is similar surviving, you'd expect there to be some decent deals other than on the pre-owned games - are they seriously trying to go down the CeX model? The staff also seemed disinterested - there were two staff members working which was good however they might as well have not been there at all with staff just sat there on their phones and ignoring customers who come into the store. Dreadful selection and pricing of "new" games compared to any other high street or online retailers and staff who don't care - this store sadly sums up the decline of GAME throughout the years - and by the sound of things, they better get their act together quick. 1*

In the past I have taken defective software back and what a reception I got, totally unhelpful, no consideration for the customer they even went further, made snide comments and the manager even licked his tie and rubbed a game disc presumably to check if I had brought him back a pirated disc, and he could get the ink to run, he did this in my presence. Shocking service from totally unprofessional staff. The store seems ok until you have a problem with your purchase. There are plenty of good computer stores in Warrington, use them!

    This is a fab original little bookshop fighting against the likes of Waterstones and Blackwells. I…read moremean, it's not actually fighting those giants, but you know what I mean. If you've seen You've Got Mail you know what I mean. This is a proper bookshop. Books are crammed onto rickety-looking shelves and span all kinds of categories. They buy as well as sell books, so you can get yourself a good swop-shop thing going on if you're savvy enough. Obviously, you've got to have some spare time on your hands to browse through everything, but it's well worth it as this is one of the few remaining old fashioned book stores in the city centre, and you can find some real gems. Also worth a look from an academic point of view - being near the university campuses means you can get some bargains as far as uni reading goes.

    It's good because it sells a lot of books cheaply but my enthusiasm for little quaint second hand…read morebookshops has worn a little thin mainly because the owners al seem to be sociopaths or misanthropes. Too harsh? Maybe, it could just be the case that put end to end and the hours sat alone with only books for company probably add up to years, either that or books give off some sort of toxic fumes that effect the central nervous system. Still there are lots of books here so if books are what you're after then why not take a few minutes to see if there's anything amongst the second hand stock - and therefore tick your little green eco box for the day to boot - and you may just come across some thing you'd never thought of picking up .
