Post by DaveF »

If you are on their mailing list then no doubt you have already received the email invite.

Weds 30th Nov, 7pm-9pm

"You can enjoy shopping in comfort with 20% discount while indulging with complimentary wine and nibbles! "

You need a printout of the email to gain entry so anyone that's interested but isnt on their mailing list should sign up now.

Yes, got that email alright, but don't think I'll make it in on Wednesday.

They also operate a loyalty card - stamp for every tenner, and when the card is full (10 stamps) you can get 10% off.

I use that card, but you have to ASK them to stamp it, they don't tell you if you don't know about it. They are not the brightest lights on the street, it has to be said.

well, they're not there to wipe your arse in fairness. Just hand in the card with your items and they'll stamp it. No big deal.
Plenty of times they ask you if you have a card in my experience.

Fight! Fight! ;-)

I normally pull out the card and hand it to them with the laser. Once or twice they've asked me to fill in my name and address, but I think that was with a newer member of staff. Never happened with the "girl with the mostly metallic face" or the "lad with the unfeasably tall mohican".

She hangs out at the back of the shop in the shrink wrapped, warped vinyl department. In the main the staff are very pleasant but.................oh hell!

She's drawn to the the magnets in the PA speakers back there.

Tower are far more expensive than Amazon, jpc et al and they do not compensate by employing knowledgeable staff either. I used to shop there at least once a week but not any longer.
