Isles closed due to stock taking

<p>This morning I visited the Builder's Warehouse branch at Woodlands Boulevard. I had a long list of supplies to stock up on but eventually ended up at the pay point with three items in my trolley only.</p> <p>I requested ***istance at the first isle and was informed that the isles were closed due to stock taking. I was encouraged to visit another branch.</p> <p>Shocked by this, I kept going and tried to find the rest of the items on my list. Yet again the isles were closed where the items on my list should have been.</p> <p>I must have looked very confused or upset as I was approached by a shop ***istant asking if I needed help. I complained about the closed isles and me not getting what I needed.</p> <p>The ***istant again rep**** that they were taking stock. I asked why not at night. He rep**** that they started during the night and it continued into the morning.</p> <p>I have NEVER shopped anywhere where the isles were closed during shopping hours due to stock taking while the shop was open to shoppers.</p> <p>What really bothered me is that fact that there were shop ***istants standing around everywhere, chatting and making jokes. Why were they not engaged in this stock taking process to speed things up?</p> <p>In future I will stick with my corner hardware shop where the client is most important, not the stock. Where I get a warm welcome at the door and enjoy prompt ***istance and very reasonable prices.</p>
