Hahaha,got to laugh.Catcliffe near Sheffield.Seems Boundary mill dont want to be assosiated with Rotherham.Wonder why?Come on RMBC stand up for the town,strike back,start advertising Meadowhall near Ritherham!
Having shopped at this store for many years I was horrified when wishing to try a garment on the sales adviser took particular interest in my shopping bag . So much so she said "do you have an exchange " & beemed at my bag . The thought that she thought I was trying to conceal something left me feeling like a criminal . I looked at her puzzled as I only wanted to try one garment on , I opened my bag pulled out my scarf which I had put in my bag prior to shopping . On leaving the fitting room with the unsuitable garment I was again shocked to see a security guard feather duster in hand supposedly
attempting to clean the ladies fitting room. What an appalling experience . I attempted to speak with a manager but was told she was not in . I am revisiting the store in a couple of days time to address this issue &tell them how disgusted I was with the unacceptable behaviour of their staff .
