An ex employee on Poundland’s prices
Holly Laing, 22, from Northampton, has revealed she used to work in Poundland and often heard customers say the same annoying thing.
Holly claimed she worked for Poundland in 2015 for three months as a Christmas temp.
She said that customers would get annoyed when products cost more than £1 individually.
In a comical video, Holly acted out a scenario that often occurred on her shift at the bargain store, where customers were always baffled and irritated that items could cost over £1.
Holly uploaded her video with the caption “I heard this a lot” as she said: “POV: Not everything’s £1 in Poundland”.
Holly explained that customers would often say to her: “But this is the pound shop, is it not?”
“That’s very misleading, I’ll only pay for that if it’s a pound.”
The retailer has also added heaps of decorations needed glamming up the house on a budget – there’s plenty of vibrant red tinsel for a quid and gorgeous baubles for £1.50.
Poundland customers can purchase the Christmas tree essential in four different colours – red, gold, silver and green.
Sharing the news on Facebook, Susie wrote: ”Christmas has come early, come visit our friendly team at Poundland Poole high street for your festive needs, whether you’re looking for biscuits, sweets, chocolate, gifts, and bags, or looking to decorate your tree we have it in store.
”Great value for money and items range from just £1.”
