Paperchase is a fairly unusual brand, one which surprised me to find in a railway station, it is located in "The Arcade" and is pretty much your average Paperchase, it is fairly close to other retailers in the station such as WHSmith and John Lewis, the latter provided more of a shock to be in the train station than this.
So, the second time I've visited a Paperchase "Travel" branch, this store does stand out a little more appearing to be more modern than Leeds, albeit it appears to be smaller.
The selection is really basic and limited due to the size of the store and mainly consists of fancy and overpriced pens and mediocre high-end gift-cards.
I came in to buy a bag, which the staff member did charge me for, normally they avoid the long card transactions and don't mind giving me a bag at other stores, but they charged me for it - I thought okay as it was only 5p.
Just as I left the store, a member of staff followed me and was looking around me and my friend, I think she was accusing us of stealing and trying to catch something with our other bags or suitcases as she circled us, standing outside the store and left straight away. Do they not trust me? I thought that was just really bad service, why would I want to steal their tacky shit anyway, which would probably be a minor insult to receive, and perhaps worse to buy because of the overpriced nature.
Bad selection and the worst service I've received in a Paperchase with obnoxious, rude staff. 1* read more
