    Visited this store this afternoon, June 13, 2016 with my husband. We have used this store for quite some time but had never before encountered the male who was behind the counter today. An older person in his 60's, wears glasses. We wanted to drop off some parcels for Hermes, as we have done on numerous occasions before at this store. We had offered to take a couple of parcels for a neighbour as it was raining. We did our parcel and then put the others on the counter. Clearly he was annoyed and said, 'I didn't know you had more than one'. I told him these were for someone else and to our utter amazement he flatly refused to scan them. 'I am not doing those separately, I haven't got the time'. We had paid for the parcels to be delivered and had our neighbour taken them herself they would have had to have been scanned separately. I was quite taken aback at the very rude and unnecessary way this person dealt with us. I take it he is the owner of the shop as he told us he 'did not care' if we contacted Hermes to tell them of his refusal to take the prepaid parcels. 'I am an agent, it doesn't matter to me' What a negative, rude and unpleasant way to deal with customers. I thought the idea, especially these days, was to encourage folks in to your store - not drive them away. We took the parcels to One-Stop in Bench Road, Buxton and turned the negative in to a positive. The girls in there were lovely and only too happy to give us separate receipts. We did not mention the earlier experience at all so their willingness to give us separate receipts was their normal reactions. What a contrast. Why did he treat us like that? Who knows? What he has done is to ensure that he has lost two fairly regular customers and got himself some very adverse publicity as we would not recommend using this shop. There was utterly no need for how he dealt with this today. I have to press one star to actually post this review. I would rather not have to do even that.

    The purpose of a review, Mr Chapman is to give an honest, valid and comprehensive record of your own personal experience in any establishment where you have had a good ...... or indeed a difficult experience. You should refrain from commenting on a situation you had no part in, you were not there so you witnessed none of the exchange. I commend the fact you may wish to 'defend' this man but in reality he was rude, arrogant and definitely would not take our prepaid parcels. This incident was most certainly related honestly and exactly how it happened. You have absolutely no right whatsoever to tell folks to ignore it as 'utter rubbish'. Please allow other people to say it like it is. This was one very rude man, and I did give him some leeway by saying he may have had an 'off day'. Sit back Mr Chapman and let other air their own perfectly valid views and experiences,. Please?
