I like a bit of DP now and again and I particularly like their shoes as they're particularly well made and always look more expensive than they actually are.
I'm hopefully going to get a last minute holiday with some friends next week and as such have been frantically looking for last minute holiday items. I was in Clydebank with my mum the other day and decided to pop into DP to see what they had.
To my delight they had 20% off of everything in store, including sale items. Unfortunately, everyone and their Gran had been enticed in by this promise of bargain clothing and accessories and as such, the shop was absolutely stowed out. I could barely move, let alone browse the racks of clothing. To make matters worse it seemed as though their air con was on the blink and it was like shopping in a sauna - not the most pleasant experience, especially when other shoppers had clearly forgotten to pop on their Dove that morning.
When I did pick up items that I liked they were full price items mixed in with all the sale items and try as I might I couldn't find anyone to ask to double check what their actual price was. When I finally found someone they were a bit dry with me and just said "NO, not in sale" and turned away. I decided to just leave as this was not going to be a fruitful shopping experience.
On the way out I noticed a huddle of other shop assistants at the front of the shop just chatting away. No wonder the woman at the till had been dry with me - she was the only one doing any work! read more
