Is their any point to this shop? When it’s 100 outside the drinks are warm and when it’s -2 their freezing! You can’t move for piles of stock all over the place and the staff are the most miserable I have encountered since the crown was open! I understand they probably hate their job but d9nt take it out on the punters surely.

?the staff are always lovely! It’s pretty crowded in there but always very busy. If the population need to consume so much chocolate and sweets, the Shops will stock lots of it to serve them ...... can’t quite understand your problem.

Disagree - warm friendly good humoured staff. Saw the older bloke be really polite and nice to three young school boys the other day. That's they way to encourage good behaviour.

Rubbish, I guess you get what you give.....I go in every day and the proprietor is one of the happiest shopkeepers in Lewes!. The guy with the bleached hair seems happier than when he was in Bunces, but doesn't quite have the same people skills that the older man has, none the less he is always polite. People will miss it when its gone.....

It's a lovely place. Very old fashioned, and that's no bad thing.

I would suggestyoustep into his shoes for a few days and see What He has to deal with then see id you're quite so happy and jolly. Dealing with rude and people out to complain the whole time is demoralizing to say the least. It's a very small shop that has a lot of customers through the doors. He actually works long hours with little reward and would love to see how jolly you'd be in the same situation. Put your complaining to good use and help him get new cooler cabinets as he can only work with What the company supplies him.with. Equally you could go to Tesco and then complain about the extra walk.

I’m afraid Sharon if you decide to work in a customer environment you will get complaints, it’s part of the job. As for the equipment provided, I would imagine 90% of shops around the town don’t have the equipment they would like, you have to deal with what you have, it’s all to do with cut backs, everyone has to deal with it. Hopefully he can be more up beat in the future, or find a job maybe that doesn’t have to deal with customer service.

I'd hate to work as many hours as that boy does and the reward be some
old codgers complaining anonymously on a forum. Every time hes served me he's been polite enough, sure he's not beaming with positivity like the older bloke working there but not everybody can be like that. People are only human afterall.

Maybe more people should try smiling when they go in shops etc it is after all contagious. He works long hours sometimes from 5am til 6pm for days on end. How many of us would be jolly all day

I had very nice people serving me in the Post Office this morning. The dour and grumpy things that used to be there seem to have have gone and been replaced with very nice people who have had proper customer training. The 'manageress' is kinda hot too, which helps.

I go in there every morning before work the blonde haired lad says good
Morning and asks me how I am every morning with out fail . Always polite and also apologied every day for the fridge being broken in the heat wave and had started putting the bottle of water I drink into smaller fridge every day that worked and telling there were some in there if I wanted them . Everyone that works there is friendly. Your opinion of “ one bad day “ shouldn’t be enough to come on here and try and bad mouth them . Maybe you are the one that’s not friendly or approachable rather than them

It’s pretty useless unless you need a newspaper, or you’re trying for diabetic of the year. Contrast with the excellent St Pancras stores for example. Martins could be a superb little grocers but its selection is dire. Clearly the owners live on ginsters pasties and energy drinks and are puzzled by the thought of anything more useful than milk and bog roll. Staff are lovely mind.

I suggest the one calling himself git should go in and say to my brothers face exactly what you think instead of hiding behind the screen. You may think it's an easy job but he does long days and with customers like you doesn't help at all !

My son is not a loser as you say. He has a job pays his own way and is a polite and law abiding citizen. I imagine you are clearly so full of your own importance no one else would ever be up to your level in humanity. Sadly the reality is you're just a nasty vindictive person with nothing better to do. Get a life and leave peoples lives alone
