#poundland — Public Fediverse posts

Poundland in Accrington, Lancashire (the English one) today refused to allow access to an operator till for a customer in a wheelchair, so she told the staff member she was welcome to put it all back on the shelf.
Totally agree.
They already had a girl working a proper till, but she was only willing to do a refund for a lady who’d bought the wrong batteries.
Don’t care how ‘cheap’ the goods are (and they’re not a ‘Pound’ in that store any more). If you force folk to use self-service tills, you don’t deserve any business. Not just from disabled customers either.
Can guarantee the millionaire owners/board are not on minimum wage, or using self-service tills.

Ever wondered how Poundland is so cheap? Well, they skipped out on £160k of taxes just in Norwich. How much have they dodged elsewhere?

Council writes off £650,000 in debts owed by firms - including two High Street giants

'Bare empty shelves' as Poundland to leave town centre

Bought a small 2000 mAh #powerbank for £3 in #Poundland in the UK and it is the same form factor as the Power Geek branded banks that they used to sell 7 years ago for £2 with a very slightly reduced capacity,
This is excellent timing as I have 4 of the older banks that have been well used and I was looking to source some replacement 18650 cells as the capacities are very reduced on a couple of them.
If the new bank holds a decent charge I may buy a couple more.

Poundland confirms it will be closing all UK stores for 3 days over Christmas

Poundland sold for a pound. They had been going down for a while with their electronic stuff being the first to go off the shelves. Guess their product range will contract further now.

#BigClive and #Ashens will have to look elsewhere for their tat :)

I think they took that "everything for £1" thing a bit too literally

I do love the irony of #poundland being sold for £1. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jun/12/poundland-sold-for-1-with-dozens-of-store-closures-expected

"Poundland Sold For A Pound"

Dollar Tree now charges $1.25.
Which is about £1.
They should rename it Poundland or somethin' like.

Impulse buy at #Poundland. Perfect for taking notes on my new course obvs.
Legally blonde
A5 Note Book And Pen Gift Set

I’m not saying I find modern life confusing but I bought 4 items from #Poundland yesterday. 1 of them was £1.25 and the total came to £3.75.

This #Poundland #screwdriver set is useless for removing these hex screws that fasten the metal housing for a COB LED I found on the street. Did this get snapped off from a vehicle or a flashing street sign?

The hex-star bits don't fit the screws properly and the metal is too soft so they just get chewed up

The PCB has 3 LEDs on each side. All 6 seem to be working. 3 in series, both sides in parallel. Total forward voltage of about 7.6V

Oh noes! Have managed to lose a leg of my #Poundland reading glasses. 👓 🦿 How long can I go on one leg before another trip to the shop? Wow #Legless as a teetotaller.

Public service announcement: #Poundland are doing chocolate liqueurs for 2 packets for £2, and they're pretty nice (normally I think the cheapy ones are shit). Will be getting more before Christmas.
