I bought in store after they assured me it was the new computer charger lead I needed. I asked if it was ok to return if it didn't turn out to be the one I needed and was told if I open-end the package , which was sealed, they could not accept it and had to go back to the company headquarters. (presumably they don't sell goods in opened boxes !) Anyway, no matter. It turned out to be ok. It was their attitude that was really the problem. Lesson learnt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todays argument (the first of several no doubt) will be about Curry’s PC world. Was in there recently when a member of staff tore a strip off another couple of staff members behind the main counter, over something left on the counter. Embarrassing. Not content with that, the aggressor then patronised another customer with a query, which finished off with the customer being told "take it or leave it". Hearing the choices made available to the other customer, I then chose the latter option. Edited November 18, 2022 by Mysteron 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Speaking of new business they are really getting on with the developments of the planned delii / restaurant in Manxonia House and also the replacement of the Bay Queen in Port St Mary, which is down for apartments and restaurant etc. Looking forward to sampling their cuisine in the not too distant future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of thing can be a nightmare for traders, often through no fault of their own. There are multinational manufacturers who refuse point blank to accept returns through the trade. They insist on dealing with the customer direct. Doesn't matter that the customer only walked out with the item half an hour ago and is not happy that it can't be returned or swapped. Doesn't matter that the retailer has a statutory duty to the customer. The manufacturers see themselves as above the law and simply don't want to know about the problems of the retailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity, they will be let down by the shite bus service for anything south of the swing bridge in the evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I see it being very short lived, as in one of those places you only ever go to once for a laugh? It might be the first local restaurant not to struggle for staff though 😂 https://m.facebook.com/100087471026932/about/ Well the Facebook page is now taken down for some rebranding apparently......

They appear to be someone who has more money than brains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 They do seem to think they can just rip off a brand and do their own thing with it. What next? Isle of Nando’s? Burger Juan? McShimmin’s? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thing is the 'sad, jealous person' who gave the heads up to the the franchise has probably done them a favour. At least they have an opportunity to make sure they are not at the wrong end of a passing off action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
