We then came back a little over an hour later and was met with a smirk and no apology, and was informed that he hadn't done them yet. I asked how long it would be and with a shrug he told me "I don't know, half an hour?"
We left again and decided to wait over an hour this time so we wouldn't have to pointlessly queue again if they weren't done. When we returned we received the same rude response. I asked for my shoes back and told him I'd take them elsewhere and he told me (again, without apology) that he would do them there and then for me (which makes me wonder why I had to wait over 2 hours at this point). When I pointed out that I could get them done for cheaper and with better service elsewhere, he at least had the courtesy to staple on the heels for free so that I could just have them shaped by someone else, and this is the only reason the review was not 1 star.
In all: expensive and appalling service
In the Wolsey Place outlet, the gentleman who served me was also very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. He repaired my shoes in 40 mins, showing me my different options. I would definitely recommend both of these outlets in Woking Town Centre based on my experiences.
Furthermore, my shoes cost a bargain £17 to repair, against an unfriendly arrogant quote of £70 I received from an independent shop in Canary Wharf (not Timpson).
