  We made a 34 mile round trip to this store to stock up on the advertised "Dine in for £10" offer. We arrived at 4.00pm, 4 hours before the store closed, to find a store festooned with adverts for this offer. On asking an assistant where to locate the offer, we were told that there was nothing left. I asked to speak to the manager who apologised profusely, which, in the circumstances, simply isn`t good enough. I suggested that she could make up the offer from the products that were available but this was refused. I also suggested that she should remove all the adverts for the offer, which she and her security guard began to do. We chose this store because I have mobility problems and you can park at the door. We also expected a large city branch to have the choice advertised online. Caveat emptor

  Marks & Spencer offers poor service, is totally out of date and un-consumer friendly.
  
  First the stores. We looked at the M&S website and picked some clothing items. We took down the item codes and description, then I visited the store to buy the items. Simple enough but not with M&S. I asked a member of staff if they could check on their computer systems, if they have the items in stock in my store. I am told that, they don't have a computer system and no way of checking stock. I said, that is ridiculous, all shops have a computer based stock checking system. Not in M&S apparently. So the woman went up and down the aisles, trying to find the items manually. This is a really inefficient way of finding the products you want and frustrating. The staff did find some items with the correct codes but not all. Sometimes the staff did not even look hard enough and would just say, we don't have it. I found one or two of them. Could not buy everything we wanted, as some things could not be found and no way of checking store stock. This is really poor service. My store is also useless as it has only basic items in stock and most of the time, they never have any stock of the items you want.
  
  Anyway I complained and after some time, I got to the bottom of it. I have been told that, M&S have had all thier stock checking systems, taken out of the stores years ago. This is crazy and makes buying in M&S much harder and does not make life easy f
