Skora11 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 36 minutes ago, stewarty66 said: What tends to happen in supermarkets is the doors are locked and a member of staff unlocks them to let customers out once they have finished. Most stores usually have a tannoy announcement about 15 minutes before closing advising customers to make their way to the checkout OP says it was 3.58. That could mean 3.58 and 58 seconds. Staff in the shop may have a clock which said its 4pm . We're talking seconds here. OP should have visited the shop earlier. Staff should shut the door if they're closed. It's not difficult for either party involved. I know what tends to happen, they also don't tend to let anyone in a couple minutes before closing either. People aren't let in a few minutes before yet many customers still aren't out the shop before 'closing time'. The members of staff then have to work on unpaid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Perhaps it would help if it was announced in the Killie Club at 15:45 that the club shop will close in 15 minutes should anyone wish to use it . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a member of staff could also come over and take orders for requirements for the shop whilst people enjoy their lunch! I think most people would have shopped first and dined afterwards and this lengthy thread has come about because one individual chose not to. Lesson learned hopefully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiepie Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 The big question is has anyone checked the accuracy of the OP watch? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Cannot believe this has went to a 6-pager, with some pretty pedantic responses. Any shop in the UK can refuse to serve you for many reasons, as long as they're not discriminatory. Common sense would suggest sallying up just before close of business is a pretty good one! It might not make good business sense, but that is a different matter entirely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps they could just cope with the occasional customer who comes in near closing time, like everyone else in retail does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that's not true. Try and buy something in say a local Tesco after 10pm even if you are already in the shop at 9.50pm and their closing time is 10pm. 42 minutes ago, Mclean07 said: Erm........no. Where did I say that?

Dillinger Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I went in to Morrison's last night at 7.45. When I came out at 7.50, the security guard was reminding shoppers entering that the shop closes at 8. I wondered how he knew that it would be closed at 8, as one of the shoppers entering could have had a big hour long shop to do?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB 25 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 And who says your watch is right and theirs was wrong? Seems like you’re clutching at straws saying it was 3.58 nothing like an entitled twat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmurray Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Just to let folks know.. i got my email.. my XL size was in the shop but it will be late Tuesday before its ready with number and name... they have bags full of ones going out for mail delivery. The ladies in the shop did a great job getting the mail deliveries done today... just got ro wait till Tuesday late on to pick it up with numbers done. A small mix up sending out mails to everyone, even if they still had numbers/name to get done.. don't give the ladies a hard time if you pop in and they aren't ready yet... not their fault. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merk Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Popped in this morning and bought my lad the new home top. Both home and away look far better up close and appear really well made. I'd not pre-ordered and there's loads available in most sizes. Oh and the teal Hummell training top is an absolute belter, sadly ruined by the sponsor. Edited August 4, 2020 by Merk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
