My visit to Robert Dyas at Lakeside was incredibly frustrating, all because of the disappointing customer service I received. I came in looking for a specific air fryer and noticed the model I wanted on a high shelf at the back of the store. I approached a female employee to ask for assistance. She had a slight accent and was of African descent. When I asked about the product she dismissed my request, suggesting that the product was likely empty or no longer for sale. Her body language and facial expression made it clear she thought it would be a waste of her time to get a ladder and check. After her refusal to help, I noticed other products on similar high shelves that were clearly for sale on the shop floor. I decided to try my luck with another employee, who was thankfully much more helpful and agreed to check the item for me. To the first employee's clear annoyance, the product I wanted was indeed in the box and perfectly sellable. Despite finding the air fryer I was looking for, I refused to purchase it. The negative experience with the first employee was so off-putting that I didn't want to give the store my business. This is a clear example of how a poor attitude from one team member can cost a sale and leave a customer with a lasting negative impression. If an employee is unsure about a product, it's always better to ask a colleague rather than giving a customer a dismissive attitude.

1st class service and so helpful - if only every shopping experience could be like this when (online issues) arise. A BIG thank you to Sam (store manager), it was a pleasure being dealt with by yourself and colleague.
