Why You Might Consider Alternatives

Despite the benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider before heading to this location. Be aware that:

  • Inconsistent Pricing: Shoppers can expect issues with price discrepancies. Prices displayed on shelves may not match the price at the till, leading to frustration and arguments with staff. There are also reports of incorrect offers being displayed, or expired ones.
  • Staff Issues: You may encounter staff who are unhelpful, particularly at the tills. Some staff may not know how to interact with people or address pricing mistakes in a courteous way. Some staff are noted for being unbothered.
  • Lack of Website for the ROI Branch: The absence of a dedicated website for the Republic of Ireland branch, especially when a more comprehensive UK website exists, is a disappointment. The website would be able to sell products not available in the store.
  • Stock and Selection Issues: The shop may have empty shelves and a limited selection, and may not have the complete range of products available elsewhere. For example, a reviewer was looking for easels for weddings which were only available online from the UK.
  • Price display issues: There may be numerous items in the store that don't have any price displayed or the item has the wrong price displayed.
  • Lack of Product Variety: You might find a limited variety for certain items such as bread bins.
