sweet little shop 💕

Wow!! Had the worse reception from an empty charity shop in the high ever yesterday, Bank holiday Monday 02/05/22.
Despite most of the high street being shut for the bank holiday, we did our usual tramp down the high street were most charity shops were open, so we missed about in all of the opened ones. As we we’re greeted by all other shops with a cheery hello, good afternoon etc we were pounced on by a very unfriendly and unfortunately gruff man who immediately shouted at my husband ‘NO DOGS’!’ well as much as I understand that dogs, even on leads, are unacceptable in food establishments and even in some other establishments, our dog is a tiny chihuahua, who was being carried by my husband and posed no earthly threat to the stock or to the throngs of invisible shoppers, as the shop was completely empty other than the man and one other behind a screened till area. Well for the thousands of other invisible shoppers I do apologise for thinking my custom might have made a difference to the takings for the day. To the staff member, learn to be more customer aware, you might even attract a customer to buy something, obviously better than an empty shop/till!!
