The store in the Sheffield Train…

The store in the Sheffield Train Station cover their sweets overnight with a tarp, (tarp gathers dust) then they roll it, (it touches the floor) and shove it under the stall. They then put the same tarp back on overnight and rinse and repeat, this tarp will be covered with dust and people touching it. This is a clear food safety risk.

When the stall was first being set up, one of the scoops fell on the floor, and was wiped with the same dry cloth that they wiped the lights and signs with, and then the scoop was put back into the sweets, this is also a hygiene fail.

The staff wear a singular glove on their right hand, but then they scroll on their phone for hours while sitting on the side. A customer came to buy sweets, and wanted some taken out, and the same glove / hand that was scrolling a mobile and dealing with cash notes, then reached into the bag to take the sweets out.

The hand and glove was also used to reach into the actual containers of sweets as well, rather than the scoop. This is a violation of health codes and a clear cross contamination. I would not recommend this brand to anyone, and their prices are extortionate.

I was told by the person who initially set up that the halal sweets are on the far side only, but I noticed staff openly telling customers that they are all halal. This is also a major violation.

This needs to be shut down.

Trafford Centre

Trafford Centre, no prices listed, only one weighing scale, £17 for two very small bags of sweets, should have known it was a total rip off, DO NOT SHOP THERE

They should be ashamed of themselves.

They should be ashamed of themselves.
If not, all the staff might as well wear masks, daylight robbery.
Nothing clearly priced up, they are clearly ripping off tourists and customers and how Trading Standards have not fined them and shut them down is beyond belief!
DO NOT BUY IN THIS SHOP!

RIPOFF

Was in London for the weekend pasted kingdom of sweets and popped in for a look. Should have smelt a rat when nothing was priced up. Picked up 2 bags of cheeto crisps and proceeded to till. They wanted £19.98 my jaw hit the floor I refused them and walked out. I can see this shop catching alot of foreign tourists who haven't quite mastered the British pound or kids that don't really think about the prices when buying things.

AVOID!!!! ABSOLUTE RIP OFF

Loads of products out of date and severely overpriced. They purposely don't put prices on things... £15 for a small bag of freeze dried jolly ranchers and £15 for a small bag of reeces peanut cups. Even their little Pez sticks were.£10!!!!!! Lads behind the till all looked dodgy AF. They have music blasting so loud you can't hear each other talking. Avoid

‘Pick and mix’ in galway…

Walked by the pick and mix in galway shopping centre and decided to get sweets with my boyfriend. We weighed the sweets and it was too expensive (over 50€) so we tried to put some back. The owner refused to allow this due to ‘cross contamination’ but this was not valid because the sweets were out in the open exposed to people contaminating them and the scoops were shared among multiple sweets. It was no where advertised that cross contamination was possible even though the shopkeeper claimed they were selling vegan sweets, gluten free sweets, etc. We were forced to pay by the owner regardless even when we no longer wanted the sweets. False advertising, poor service, obnoxious workers and cross contamination DO NOT SHOP HERE.

I will never go back to Kingdom of Sweets in Bath. The way they charge for pick & mix it seemed to me to be hardly honest , you just don't know what you are buying until its too late. My advice would be find somewhere else to buy your children sweets.

Thank you David

I went to kingdom of sweets today with my loved one on O’Connell street, we were more delighted with the service we received from a young handsome bald Egyptian man who presented us with premium customer service. It was a pleasure to be there thanks to david

OUTRAGEOUS PRICES AT BATH SHOP

OUTRAGEOUS PRICES AT BATH SHOP
Was charged £33 for 2 bags of sweets containing half a dozen bubble gum cola bottles and 2 blue sour cables. Lady serving was very aggressive and loud !!! Also witnessed them charging around 60 pounds to some Chinese tourists buying a few bags of sweets !!

Only eat if you want to lose your teeth

Aware they're expensive sweets but I needed my fix at a concert last night so loaded up the bag. Have almost chipped my teeth on every single sweet. They are all completely rock hard and no doubt out of date or not covered at night so totally stale. Shouldn't be allowed to sell them, particularly as children might not be as cautious about biting straight into them

Daylight Robbery

Absolutely mortified, bought a few sweets and cist £11. Daylight robbery, children sweets cannot be as expensive as that, no one should buy anything from here. Not worth it, go and get elsewhere for a fraction of the price!!!
