Booths I wanted my phone turn off because of excessive spam calls today

I'm complaining because your booth employees refuse to disconnect my phone after I told them that I was getting 30 or more phones hang-ups, I was told they could not help me, and that if I Wanted to change my number I had to visit one of your many phone outlets. I called you foreign agents, because they could barely understand me speaking English. Thus, I could barely understand them with their heavy accent. One of them said I could not cancel because I just paid my monthly bill. I got into a shouting match, with me shouting the loudest. I my phone disconnected, today [protected], and I want a refund for the days I did not use the phone, from as of today. 09/21/2023 one of the named employee was Ben, ZRH, this is what he said his title. I asked for a supervision, they would not let me speak to one. I want this phone to be turned off today! Good day, and I will be visiting the BBB as well.

Desired outcome: Credit for days phone not used, including today,

Booths A member of staff...

I was shopping in Booths in Poulton-le-Fylde tonight at between 8pm and 9.30pm. 18/3/23 I was with my friend and son. Been going there for years. I was doing a big shop. I noticed quite quickly a young dark haired girl worker. She so blatantly followed us round and looked at us quite rudely. It spoiled my experience. I suffer from anxiety and shop late as quieter for shopping. I also walk with a crutch as ive a hip problem. Now we take many bags on a big shop. They were at one side of trolley. Did she assume I was putting stuff in the bags?! I shopped here because my experience with Sainsbury in Bispham is poor. Many times at night even with a full trolley they tell you at the till to use a self service till! In Booths the other girl was pleasant who opened a till without us asking. Now the worker who was making us feel like we should not be in Booths was awful. I want to shop again but now unsure. I am a Booths cardholder as well. Rosemary Campbell.

Desired outcome: I'm a decent honest person but she made me feel horrible...not sure if I will go here again. I spent over £120. Not sure what is the desired outcome. Definitely not a nice evening shopping.

Booths Receipt

Hi,

Went into Booths this afternoon ( Sunday 12th June at 13.29 ) at the Barrowford branch and got a receipt from the cafe .

I always enter the survey for a chance to win £250 of Booths vouchers but now there’s not a site online that will take me to the survey .Plus the receipt from the store didn’t have the survey details on .

Have tried dear.booths .co.uk and there’s nothing there that lets you know how to enter .

Please could you tell me if there’s a different site to use , have tried a few to no avail .

Kind regards

Desired outcome: I’d appreciate a response about the survey website

Booths Cafeteria

We went into the Ulverston Booths cafeteria and ordered 2 teas a cookie and a sticky toffee cake. It was brought over to the table on a round tray by a member of staff who then informed us that the cake was falling over on to the milk jug because it was warm. She then passed the cake to my partner while balancing the tray which promptly fell off the table withe tea pot and cups falling to the fall and smashing. She then too her shoe off which was of course the right thing to do and walked off into the back. Someone came and mopped the mess up and then the lady who originally brought the tray out came and put a fresh pot of tea and two cups on the table saying "this time I'll touch it" we were never once asked if we were okay and to feel uncomfortable plus the tea had gone under my fossil handbag resulting in spoiling £150 bag. I can't believe how rude this lady was. Even one of the other customers commented on it. All this will be caught on CCTV. I await your reply

Desired outcome: Apology and compensation

Booths Mince Product which should have been reduced

Yesterday I called at Booths in Longton and purchased various items. Amongst these was a tray of Beef Mince which should have been reduced from £4 to £3 according to the sticker. On the electronic receipt which my wife receives she noticed this morning that I had been charged the full price. I have to say that this is not the first time this has happened. The reduction sticker had not been placed over the original bar code. In it's location the person who served me understandably would not have necessarily noticed it. The item has been frozen so I don't want to take it back to the store and I cannot visit the store today or tomorrow due to other commitments. To verify my purchase my Booths Card Number is 3167295 and the transaction number was [protected]. I have also attached two photo's showing the product. Can you credit the difference to our awards account?

Booths Flowers

I received these flowers from a friend as a thank you. She brought them to me direct from purchasing at Booths in Kendal last Thursday, 19th August.
I cut the stems and used the flower food sachet but it was apparent by Sunday, just three days later that four of the iris stems were not even going to bloom and those that were already in bloom were dying. Attached is a photograph of the dead flowers.
This is a very poor product. I can't tell my friend as she is now in chemotherapy for cancer treatment and has enough to think about.

I am contactable at [protected]@yahoo.co.uk

Desired outcome: Replacement flowers or gift card equivalent.

Booths Cafe

I am writing to you again.as I would of expected some sort of response from you by now .ref to your chef refusing to cook egg on toast that was on the menu with no alternative or apology.I find this disgusting as Booths was a good family run business. If you don't give us a proper response I can assure you I will take matters further.we find this disgusting and so does everyone we tell most can't believe Booths have let things slip so badly especially considering other dinners were being served eggs .

Booths Till service

Tried to pay with a Scottish £20 note and was refused. The lady said this was policy brought in, in the last few months. Firstly we are only an hour from the border and there are other Booths stores closer to Scotland. Secondly we regularly shop in Booths and there has never been any signage to make people aware of this policy. Scottish notes have the same legal status as contact less payments so I struggle to understand the reasoning behind this policy.

Desired outcome: A change in policy/ signage to make people aware of this ridiculous policy

Booths Food

I would like to bring to your attention and make a complaint to my great disappointment in visiting your Booths store at Hutton on the 5th june 2020.. i have emailed to customer service however had no correspondence.

I work at the Police Headquarters in Hutton and at lunch time i decided to buy lunch (jacket potato with beans) from your store i am a vegetarian and i did make the staff memeber aware of this. I was disgusted to see that the staff that was serving me a young male was not aware off any cross contamination. He was using the same utensils to serve me which he used for the meat and he also placed the utensils on the same board Where the meat was being served so more contamination.

How can this be allowed to happen.

I asked to speak with the manager and made her aware.

I walked out of your store feeling sick.

I was with my colleague who witnessed this and i want to bring this to your attention.

Thanks,

Kindest regards,

Booths customer services

Hello.
Shopping in booths this morning there were again no checkouts other than one express 10 max item til. This was despite me asking a member of staff if I could go through the other tils as I had a trolly full of shopping. There were lots of staff chatting, filling shelves and filling forms. I had to queue with a trolly and then try to pile my 19 items ( mainly large bags of vegetables) on the small area by express til. The assistant then had to attempt to balance the shopping on the other side. I then had to hold my shopping bags in the air to gather the shopping into the bags while a queue of people behind me watched. I have joint problems and this is cause pain which is why I wanted to go through the check out with a conveyor belt as I can put the bags down whilst I pack them. I then had to find my cup for my coffee at the bottom of the bags. i gave up on trying to find my receipt for the car parking as I just didn't have enough hands. All this with 2 boys to watch at the same time.
This is not unusual but is probably the most embarrassing time. Booths Kendal has a reputation for poor customer service and I can understand why.

Booths service

Paying for food & red wine at the self service checkout a member of staff approached took the red wine from my 14 year old son stated he was not allowed to put the wine through the scanner as he wasn't 18! I questioned this as he was with me his father. The female staff member walked off spoke to a female manager who then approached me in a very rude and intimidating manner. I asked the Manager to stop getting in my face this was very awkward and embarrassing for myself son and girlfriend. I asked several times to stop alas she wasn't prepared to. We asked to speak to the general manager who accused me of being aggressive a presumption based on the female staff as he wasn't there. He was rude didn't want me in the store even escorting us to the door. We as a family have shopped in Booths for decades. No more custom will be given to any Booths ever. We nipped to Sainsbury's in St.Annes to clarify if my son could put the wine through the self service & the answer was yes as long as he wasn't paying for it. Very sad when we support Booths as it is our favourite supermarket. For any management to speak to loyal customers in this way in inexcusable.
My girlfriend asked the general manager to look at the cctv to see the aggressive stance taken by the female Manager he was definitely not interested.

Booths booths brantley apple crumble

We purchased a Brantley apple crumble today for dessert ( custard too ) as our grandson aged 9 was coming for tea. On eating mine I bit on a foreign body that actually stabbed my gum, I pulled it out and it appears to be the sharp end of a cocktail stick ? My first thought was to stop my family from consuming any more as it was covered in custard so I would rather be safe than sorry and binned the lot. Our grandson extremely disappointed but understood why I had to do that . I have a photo of the packaging and the foreign body what I am worried about is where is the rest of the stick ? However having thought about it it could possibly have been in the middle of the rest of the crumble .

My daughter has insisted I email you so that you are aware of this unfortunate incident so that you can make enquiries regarding how this happened ..

Booths cafe

At approximately 13.30 today myself and my mother (who is in her 80s) visited the store for shopping this was fine no problems and lady on the till was lovely and very helpful
We decided to use the cafe and so I picked up a wet tray (all were wet) got my order sorted and was asked if i would like my soup when the lasagne came out i said yes please
When i got to the table where my mother was sitting if was full of dirty crockery pots etc so i had to place my tray on the seat nearly spilling my bottle and proceed to clear the table onto another dirty table one of a large number
After waiting for a long time my mothers lasagne finally arrived with her chips (which was very nice ) I waited then had to dash to the toilet and stand it quite a large queue and on my return the soup had still not arrived by this time my mother said you finish mine which I did then got up and walked over to the counter and explained the situation saying I would like a refund
This was refunded onto my mothers card
I then proceeded to the cigarette counter to see if it was customer services he got a gentleman to come and see me
I then explained what had happened and he took my details and said someone would contact me
I am still waiting for the call
Not happy at all with the service or lack of service recieved and the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired
I appreciate the cafe and shop do get very busy in which case staff should be more attentive to the sitting/eating areas
Like I told the gentleman i let the clearing of the tables go bye the bye although not getting my order was sheer poor service

22 August 2019
Dear Sir,
PARKING PENALTY CHARGE 304120/612329
We have recently holidayed in Windermere.
I was outraged to find, on my return to London, a parking fine for £100 related to a stay in the car park at Booths Windermere on 6/8/2019 of 2 hours 51 minutes.
I have settled this fine with BPA today with a payment of £50.
During our time at Windermere we made purchases from Booths totalling £622 itemised below.

I have been shopping at Booths for more than 50 years.

On the date in question (6 August 2019) we were shopping in Booths, Windermere, as can be clearly seen from the payments made above (which were cleared on the following day).

Following our shopping we decided to stay in the cafe chatting with elderly and infirm relatives who could not meet us anywhere else.

I am not a regular and therefore did not understand that I needed to make special arrangements to stay beyond two hours in the car park, even though I was in Booths throughout the time in question.

I find the levying of a parking fine to penalised me for spending more than 2 hours in Booths totally unacceptable. I cannot believe that it is your intention to deter people from spending longer times at Booths under such special circumstances.

I understand that the parking fine has been levied by a separate company and is not directly the responsibility of Booths but, I am sure you will agree, that in this situation a mistake has been made at the cost of considerable goodwill to regular and loyal patrons.

I do hope that you can deal with this matter appropriately.

Yours sincerely

Dr Robin Howard
