Have to agree. They seem to be constantly out of basic items and I absolutely hate the Dublin Rd store so won't go near the place.

ya havent being in there in ages said i go in there today, ya some of the shelves were all empty.Could hear one sham say after asking about something & getting ans dont know'' its always the same in this place, never have anything'' that was always a poor store anyway compared to the dublin road one. Dublin road one is just 2 busy & awkward now.

There's one woman on the Childers Rd checkout who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the general public. I've never met anyone as ignorant as her.

Its an extremely busy store though so its possible they have run out of stuff!

Bingo! Yup, that's her. Obviously it's not just me so. I literally won't go through her till because I've never met anybody so rude.
Nobody's asking her to have a big conversation with you, but a hello and goodbye wouldn't go amiss, not to mention a please and thank you.

I used to work in retail myself once upon a time so I know it's not the easiest job in the world, but I'd have been pulled up pretty sharpish if I was ever that rude to customers.

On another note entirely, I've mentioned him before but there's a young guy on the checkouts in Tesco Dooradoyle (Andrew I think?) and you just couldn't meet nicer. Always so friendly and chatty, has a word and a smile for everyone and goes out of his way to be helpful.

Two more different people would be hard to find.

Absolutely horrible person. I actually said it to her one day when she literally threw some of my food on the ground past the till.

Christ, that's shocking behaviour. Would you not report her to the manager?

What I actually said was;

"that's perfect just **** it onto the floor."

She didn't bat an eyelid and possibly thought it was legitimate praise.

Mc Love

you do know you're not supposed to pack at the till - that's what the packing shelf by the window is for!

There's nothing to gain from that, anybody that seems to hate their job this much is obviously suffering enough.

I just tend to avoid Aldi Roxboro these days tbh.

In the pub trade for years and I can't remember the last time I saw Heineken half pint glasses! Most are just generic pilsner glasses. https://www.nisbets.ie/arcoroc-pilsner-glasses-285ml-ce-marked/s055

Flavins Butchers closed in Greenpark , any recommendations for another butchers in the general area .

We usually buy our meat on a daily basis as needed and Flavins was really handy as it was near by and had very easy access . Not a fan of Spratts due to an issue a few years back .

I can't think of anywhere else that isn't a large retail chain or awkward to get to .

Copy That (formerly MovieDrome) at the top of Henry Street, opposite the junction with O'Curry Street.

Can I just walk into a motor factors and get a replacement number plate done up for a car on the spot? I've gotten many plates before but always ordered online. My mother came out of the cinema tonight to see the front number plate was gone from her car.
