As we were browsing, we came close to the tills in search of a backpack where I became aware of who I can only assume is the manager loudly calling someone towards the tills. It turned out to be an employee who was berated on his first day for "talking to (his) mates", who actually looked like other customers and created a more welcoming feel to the store. Her tone resembled a threatening tone of holding his position at ransom if he didn't obey her demands.
Although staff are there for her to manage, as a customer, we should not be subjected to a manager humiliating a member of staff. This is an example of terrible management whereby the manager clearly needs training in staff management as her actions can only be defined as the behaviour of a bully.
Maybe a change of management could be ideal...
Higher management, please investigate!
I certainly wouldn't be visiting the store again and probably wouldn't recommend.
