Went to Dobbies to get some paving stones. When I got to the till the lady said if you become a loyalty card member now you will save 20% on todays shopping. She was very informative and pleasant and I’m very happy to have signed up and saved a good deal of money. Also found other members of staff very helpful.

Popped in for a few plants

Popped in for a few plants. Thought we had time for a quick member's cup of tea, won't be doing that again!
The service was exceptionally slow and the young girl, although polite, needs basic training in holding a tray. I'm not sure she'd pass a hygiene test.

Hi Paula, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and I am sorry to hear of the slow service you received in our Andover store. I will ensure this is fed back to the store for you. Thanks - Jemma

Some things I wanted are just not in stock or have been dropped completely. Also as it was my birthday I asked if the cashier knew if the birthday treat for Dobbies card holders had been dropped - she said she didn't know anything about it - so I just bought compost which was this time in stock so not a completely wasted journey
