lisa philby1 StarI visited this shop 12.12.21. They discriminate and embarrass people with disabilities. The lady in the shop challenged me about wearing a mask. I explained I have a disability. And don’t wear one. Then she continued to embarrass me in front of a busy shop. Her attitude was so disgusting she then got 2 other customers involved to verbally attack me. I have never been treated so deplorably in my 60 years of life. The government web site states. ‘A person with a disability does not have to show proof and persons should play their part and act sensitively towards people who need support” It can also be up to a £10.000 fine for discrimination!!!! Think this shop may need to research the exemption rules for themselves before attacking vulnerable customers !!!!!!Sunday 12th December 2021
Rebecca Bee1 StarI was glad to find it after moving here recently. First time I went in, the owner was very friendly. Went back the other day to buy fabrics, etc. The owner was not only rude but very abrupt and unnecessarily grumpy. I was quite taken aback by her attitude. I spent my £10, I would have spent more, then went to Hobbycraft to get the rest of what I needed because she couldn't be bothered to find me any more felt. In future I will be driving back to my old haberdashers 40 miles away, where I spend on average £80-100 a month on supplies. You've just lost yourself a customer and my friends too. As someone that has run a high street shop for years, this is not how to do it. You need some good competition and a customer care course.Friday 27th August 2021
