Birthday Treat

Lovely lady behind the counter serving the cakes. All other staff friendly and cheerful. Cakes and coffees were lovely. The only thing letting the store down is the tired looking ladies toilet...especially the rusty radiator.

The café and checkout staff were on the whole friendly as usual. The fish area staff need to improve their customer service skills. Whe there was a spillage of water on the floor recently a female member of staff said" Can I help you?" to my wife. It should have been cleaned up. It wasn't my wife's fault if there was a spillage.
The garden staff are still pretty grim. There's an older blonde lady who's helpful. The rest seem to tolerate the customers at best. Service with a scowl.

Love looking in and around Dobbies

Love looking in and around Dobbies. My one concern is how some of the plants are left. Uncared for and unwatered. Your sale plants are still quite expensive meaning the majority are left unsold. Surely it’d be better to reduce them to a realistic price, which in turn means more sale plants are sold. But. I do love a visit to Dobbies

Stop off for Afternoon break.

Stopped off here for an afternoon break. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Ordered a cream scone, and discovered that they were, a buy one, get one free. Absolutely beautiful scone. Plenty of tables to sit at, and dining area was spotless.

Dobbies, Perth

We visited the restaurant and was pleased with the selection on offer. The young lady at the cash desk was very upbeat, happy and polite. Unfortunately, on leaving the restaurant we had to avoid several lumps of dog mess. This was reported to the above mentioned cashier and she assured us that it would be cleared ASAP. This was cleaned almost immediately. We'll done Dobbies. Shame on you dog owner!

I’m afraid the tills weren’t working properly and it was very slow to check out. Not the fault of the staff on duty but they did not seem to have much support or a work around.
