Had an appointment at Abington street,Northampton

Had an appointment at Abington street,Northampton at 14:55 and arrived 10 minutes early,for my contact lense assessment and prescription.Was told to take a seat and someone would be with me shortly.After 25 minutes after 14:55 i made a complaint to the receptionist .The director Jude was close by , noted what was said, but was ,like his staff apathetic and just totally not interested in the lack of customer service. I was going to buy some glasses,since a few weeks prior i had my prescription.I was also going to get some contact lenses also. It wasnt just the waiting but poor or non service that annoyed me,the lack of care and lack of empathy/service. Since this director took over service levels have plummited. Never again will i use them.

Customer service

The service was poor, and in my case, I didn't like the treatment I received from the reception staff. They weren't kind enough to assist me properly when handing me the glasses. Everything had to be done while I was standing, and I have back problems. It caused me a lot of pain in my legs and spine. I had to stand the entire time.

Staff are unprofessional

Been here a few times
I find the staff very pushy and how they speak to you is a joke
The prices are not very good either
This was at crystal peaks Sheffield
I will never use them again
If I could give them zero stars I would
