we went to one of your shops in the metrocentre and we stood in the doorway waiting to be served no one acknowledged that we were waiting or asked us to take a seat as they were busy we stood for at least ten minutes they never looked at us once so we walked away and went to your other shop where we were greeted and told they would be right with us and the guy who served us was great very helpful and we got our holiday sorted we have been to you many times over the years and your first shop let us down such a shame
