  2. To the gentleman working at #Poundland in Kendal who told me the tape dispenser in the 3-for-£3 offer would be compatible with the Sellotape rolls in the same offer: it is not 🤣 The width is right but there’s too much tape to fit in the dispenser.

  6. 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.

  11. BRIDGEND: Prolific shoplifter jailed for ten months — and banned from every store she targeted

    A Bridgend woman who spent eight months repeatedly stealing from shops across the town has been jailed – and banned from ever entering the stores she targeted again.

    It is not the first time Emma Faulkner has faced the courts for shoplifting. She was jailed for four weeks in December after stealing £927 worth of beauty products from The Cosmetic Company at McArthurGlen – the very same store she would go on to target again for £1,500 just months later.

    Faulkner, 48, was sentenced to ten months in prison after appearing at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

    She was convicted of multiple shoplifting offences after targeting businesses across Bridgend over the past eight months.

    Among her offences was the theft of £1,500 worth of items from The Cosmetic Store at McArthurGlen Bridgend – one of the town’s busiest retail destinations.

    She also stole £40 worth of goods from Poundland on Adare Street and £30 worth of candles from the Yankee Candle shop, alongside numerous other shoplifting incidents.

    Faulkner was also sentenced for being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

    As well as the prison sentence, officers applied for a Criminal Behaviour Order lasting two years – prohibiting Faulkner from entering the stores she repeatedly targeted.

    In a further penalty, her dog has been taken away from her and she has been banned from keeping animals for five years.

    The case was investigated by the Bridgend Neighbourhood Policing Team.

    Sergeant Daniel Parry said persistent retail crime had a direct impact on communities and local businesses. “We want to be clear – those who choose to repeatedly offend will be identified, targeted, and dealt with robustly,” he said.

    Parry said officers would continue to pursue repeat offenders. “Our officers will relentlessly pursue those responsible and use all available powers to bring them to justice,” he added.

    The sentence follows a wider effort by South Wales Police to tackle retail crime across the Bridgend area, with neighbourhood policing teams increasingly using Criminal Behaviour Orders as a tool to protect businesses from prolific offenders.

    Retailers suffering from shoplifting are encouraged to report every incident to South Wales Police on 101 to help build the intelligence picture needed to pursue repeat offenders through the courts.

    Anyone with information about shoplifting or retail crime can also report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

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

  20. 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.

  28. 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.
