“I was very disappointed with the way my 84-year-old dad was treated. He queued for a long time, only to be told at the till that the shop would not accept his £50 note. No explanation was given, which left him feeling embarrassed and upset in front of other customers, he has been using this chippie for years. If a business has a policy about accepting certain notes, it should be made clear with a sign before people queue, or staff should explain the reason politely, or even have this advertised on your website. A little understanding and kindness would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience left a very poor impression. I hope the business takes this feedback on board and improves how situations like this are handled in future.”
