Unprofessional Reprimand

I’ve never actually submitted a review before - but felt I really had to today.

I was in the Largs branch of Semi Chem around 2.45pm this afternoon. There’s a young, tall male sales assistance there, who is always helpful and friendly, but was getting blasted by a wee female member of staff in front of customers.

To be fair, I am not sure what what the young man had done wrong - but it was so unprofessional to see him getting such a hard time from the wee woman. And to be fair to him, he took it from her - which is more than I would have done.

I don’t like to see situations like this - it made me feel uncomfortable just witnessing this and came across as bullying.

Excellent service...

I am a frequent customer of my local semi chem and am always met with friendly,polite,helpful staff :) the lady at the checkout asked me nicely to refrain from sitting my hand bag on top of the crisps display in front of the till. I hadn't realised I had and felt that this was the reason I return often, as the quality of goods is always to a very high standard due to an enthusiastic and high standard of work ethic. Very happy with the store and products.

Rude Staff

Left standing at checkout for 5 minutes, whilst 2 cashiers stood with their back to me, discussing the cigarette display. After a couple of minutes, another member of staff appeared, noticed there was someone at tills so walked away. Another member of staff came from stockroom and told both ladies there was a customer. Without even looking around, one said 'I'll be there just now' by this point I was furious and told them to forget it.
Disgusting customer service.

Non existent customer service

Refused my pensioner mother an exchange or refund on men's boxers clearly unused and still sealed after she purchased wrong size.I understand the retail rules on returning these items.Their staff obviously don't...No mention of no returns policy upon purchase to my mother who would have thought again before purchase and no notice of this policy on receipt.Customer service are clearly not interested and just ignore emails.
Unprofessional in this field of retail sales and they should clearly stick to selling shampoo and paracetamol! Not that they will ever receive my custom again.Rant over.Thank you.

Horrible staff

My husband and I were in semichem an we were made to feel like we were stealing. I said to a member of staff about it it and her attitude was horrible won't be back in that store for sure. Staff need to learn customer service skills horrible team of staff.

RUDENESS OF STAFF AND MANAGER

Made the unfortunate decision to click and collect an item from Semichem in Connswater. The worst customer service experience I have ever experienced. The parcel could not be found even though I had the email confirming it had arrived. Staff were not prepared to offer a solution and them became extremely rude. One of said staff being the store Manager. Had to go back later that day as parcel had been found and again I was treated to rudeness by staff members. I have logged a complaint with Customer Services at Semichem but to be honest they don't seem to care!!
