Have made a return visit to Warrington this morning, to take back two purchases I made yesterday. The shop was very crowded yesterday, if there had been room I would have checked the solar lamp out in the shop, it was only yesterday evening when we got home and had a proper look, that we saw just how broken the light was. All the contact wires had broken, it was only fit for the bin, so back it went for a refund.
Secondly I bought as I thought a lovely set of snowflake lights in a sealed box. When I got the box home, I found a pile of rubbish in the box, there were supposed to be 12 lights instead of which there were the remnants of only four.
Thing is, I got my refund without a problem, but I cannot understand how it is that things that are blatently broken/don't work are put out for sale. I don't doubt the lights being only £4.99 COULD have had nine lights kept and the broken ones returned, equally someone could have helped themselves to make up a set from the other open boxes and carefully pulled the parcel tape back over, so it would look sealed. Equally, they may think, no one would bother over £4.99, I wouldn't have done, had I not had the light to return.
Another thing that disgusted me, is that a friend and I were looking in the jewellery section yesterday and heard the manageress say to the staff "have you sold .............", she got blank looks, the fact they were so busy, enabled someone dishonest to shoplight. That was on about three items I saw the empty boxes for, I don't doubt in the coming weeks they will probably lose more stuff.
