The Charlton / Greenwich store is woefully understaffed, and the employees that do show up don't seem to want to DO anything. Today there was a queue of 14 people waiting to pay for goods, and they had ONE cashier on duty (who thought it would be good for customer relations if she had a nice, long chat with everyone about the weather, and if they'd enjoyed Christmas, etc. etc.)!
The 'self-checkout' area was closed off, and so many staff walked past the ever-growing queue that we thought we were being set up for a "comedy" TV show. Ludicrous.
We went to Wickes (nearby), and spent our £300 there.
Great customer service, and both tills were operational, meaning no waiting time. AVOID!!!!
