It was a terrible experience I had at H.Samuel's Sunderland store. My spouse birthday was August 6. I came to the store on July 29, selected all I wanted (a necklace, ear rings & handchain, all gold). Sadly, the handchain was not in store, so the order was placed. I came back on August 2 to pick up. It was not available. Returned on August 3, same not available. Only for a very ill-mannered staff by the name Paula, started addressing me rudely and calling me names. Another staff, Julie explained to her that the fault was from the company's system. She was yet unapologetic. I came back the following day, August 4, cancelled my order running to over £400. H. Samuel lost a sale, lost a customer and lost referrals. I believe that, staff should be properly trained in particular oriented on inclusion & diversity. I perceived that she acted against a person of colour.
