86 year old had to produce id in addition to receipt, which she and staff found amusing.

Rare excellent customer service!
A tad slow with delivery, but the member of staff was very friendly. As I was approaching the til, she immediately came away from the other member of staff she was chatting to to serve me - this is so rare these days. She was also very friendly.
