@masato_jones Sorry to hear that, it happens to me a lot too. You can't please everyone unfortunately! People who appreciate the true value of what you do or make are the type of customers you want. The people making that comment are not your true target audience anyway. Still sucks though!
@masato_jones I hope so too, although I never really believed that was the reason that was holding people back. And now we have atrocious weather again!
@masato_jones My worry once the election is over, what will the new "excuse" be? I've heard the same as you, but also heard it's cost of living crisis, waiting for interest rates to drop, inflation too high etc. What will the new reason be is my worry as those things aren't overnight fixes.
@masato_jones Too many things are out of our control. And the things that are don't seem to be working right now. I really hope you get through this rough time. So many people giving up right now or not having any choice in the matter!
@masato_jones Sorry to hear that. We all know how hard it is on the high street, my assumption was that more people buying online was part of the problem! We've not tried selling online yet, but we're about to start giving it a go. ๐
@masato_jones We're not in Leeds, nor are we in a place people generally come to visit, but we had a poor week too, Saturday noticeably quieter than usual. I agree that the Easter period has been very quiet this year.
@masato_jones It's a very difficult time. We try to offer a broad range of items at prices to suit everyone. We've never done sales or discounts as we are a tiny business, suffering like everyone else in retail at the moment.
