My
elderly
friend,
a
regular
customer
at
the
Hertford
Store,
was
told
she
had
to
apply
online
for
a
new
card
and
that
if
she
kept
receipts
a
10%
discount
could
be
retrospectively
applied.
She
spent
over
£100
that
day.
I
wrote
to
the
head
office
asking
about
the
situation
for
people
like
her
who
are
not
online.
A
month
passed
with
no
response
so
I
visited
the
store
and
spoke
to
a
manager.
He
told
me
they
no
longer
issued
cards,
that
the
discount
was
only
for
new
customers
and
that
staff
at
head
office
were
mainly
working
from
home.
There
was
no
apology.
I
wrote
to
head
office
again
and
copied
the
Hrtford
store
as
my
friend
had
been
given
wrong
information
and
was
quite
upset
by
this.
I
felt
at
the
very
least
she
had
a
right
to
expect
an
apology.
More
than
a
month
has
passed
with
not
a
word
from
either
the
head
office
or
the
Hertford
store.
In
the
grand
scheme
of
things
this
may
seem
to
be
unimportant
but
it
mattered
to
her
and
it
is
customers
like
her
who
keep
this
business
going.
I
think
it
a
pretty
poor
show
that
someone
could
not
drop
her
a
quick
note
and
even
worse
that
the
two
letters
I
wrote
have
received
no
response.
it
has
been
a
most
disappointing
experience.
This
is
an
update
to
my
earlier
review,
I
am
a
little
late
in
posting
but
in
the
interests
of
fairness
I
write
this
review.
Following
further
upsetting
interactions
with
staff
when
my
friend
tried
to
get
a
discount
applied
-
unsuccessfully
despite
trying
to
do
as
the
manager
said
when
I
spoke
to
him
-
she
was
at
the
store
on
another
occasion
and
asked
if
she
had
a
card.
My
friend
explained.
The
girl
said
they
still
did
cards
her
colleague
beside
her
said
they
did
not.
The
first
girl
ordered
it
there
and
then
and
told
my
friend
to
let
them
know
ifvshe
didn't
receive
a
card
in
21
days.
10
days
later
she
had
a
card.
This
time
I
emailed
and
got
a
virtually
instant
response.
Emails
came
thick
and
fast
after
that.
In
a
nutshell:
They
apologised,
They
offered
my
friend
a
£20
voucher
which
was
a
little
over
what
her
original
discount
would
have
been
and
was
accepted
They
were
going
to
ensure
all
staff
were
fully
aware
of
all
promotions
etc
They
acknowledged
that
they
need
to
consider
those
who
for
whatever
reason
do
not
use
the
Internet
or
online
facilities
Although
Pets
At
Home
have
acknowledged
and
compensated
my
friend,
I
would
only
give
two
stars
given
the
effort
energy
and
time
it
took
to
get
a
response
and
the
upset
my
friend
continued
to
experience
until
I
sent
my
email,
for
something
which
in
my
opinion
should
not
have
happened
at
all.
I
never
did
get
a
reply
to
my
old
fashioned
letters.
