I
would
give
more
than
five
stars
if
I
could.
On
my
last
visit,
I
asked
at
the
concierge
desk
for
a
sunflower
lanyard.
I'd
heard
of
it
being
used
for
people
with
non-visible
disabilities
and
hoped
it
would
improve
my
shopping
experience.
It
absolutely
did.
The
person
at
the
concierge
desk
was
lovely.
I
wasn't
interrogated
or
made
to
prove
that
I
needed
it.
She
just
took
my
word
and
gave
it
to
me.
The
stores
I
visited
have
always
been
staffed
with
great
people,
but
with
the
lanyard,
it
was
very
much
improved.
Some
staff
members
outright
said
that
if
I
needed
space
or
needed
them
to
speak
up,
to
not
hesitate
to
say
that,
which
was
really
reassuring
because
it
can
be
intimidating
to
ask
for
those
things.
And
when
I
did
need
to
ask
for
repetition,
or
something
else
offered,
they
did
so
and
it
made
me
feel
so
respected.
When
I
arrived
for
an
appointment
a
bit
early,
I
was
asked
if
I
wanted
to
sit
down
at
the
station
for
a
few
minutes
to
get
used
to
everything
going
on
and
organise
my
thoughts.
It
meant
I
had
the
time
to
be
able
to
see
the
equipment
that
would
be
used,
have
a
drink
of
water,
and
work
out
how
best
to
ask
for
what
I
wanted.
One
staff
member
saw
I
was
struggling
with
the
store
being
crowded
and
the
noise
levels,
and
she
let
me
know
the
times
of
the
day
where
it's
usually
quieter,
if
I
wanted
to
come
back
and
be
able
to
take
my
time
without
the
crowd
and
noise.
I
very
gratefully
did
that,
and
it
meant
that
I
was
able
to
come
back
and
be
able
to
enjoy
the
shopping
experience,
speak
to
the
employee
about
what
I
was
after
and
get
suggestions,
and
buy
products
that
addressed
those
needs.
If
that
hadn't
happened,
I
absolutely
would
have
quickly
bought
any
product,
to
get
out
of
there
faster,
and
it
would
have
been
the
wrong
thing.
Instead
I
was
able
to
learn
why
certain
products
work
to
address
different
issues
and
why
X
product
was
the
one
that
would
best
suit
what
I
was
wanting.
Some
noticed
the
lanyard
and
were
direct
with
me,
some
saw
it
and
said
something
like
'I
like
your
sunflowers'
which
I
took
as
a
subtle
acknowledgement
of
it,
and
some
didn't
say
or
do
anything
and
I
felt
that
all
of
them
were
very
respectful.
Nobody
pressed
me
for
information
or
asked
invasive
questions
or
demanded
to
know
why
I
needed
it.
Nobody
did
anything
in
a
way
that
made
me
feel
like
I
was
being
patronised
or
a
bother.
And
even
when
it
was
acknowledged
out
loud,
it
was
discrete
and
polite
and
still
felt
like
this
is
a
normal
interaction
that
they're
used
to.
Everyone
was
amazing
and
I
cannot
recommend
this
place
more.
I
will
definitely
be
back
many
times.
