📣 A LITTLE BACK-TO-SCHOOL PSA FROM PETITES MODES… 📣
Firstly, a MASSIVE thank you to the overwhelming majority of our customers who have queued, waited patiently, had a laugh with us and understood that right now we are basically running the school-uniform equivalent of Glastonbury. 🤣🙌
We know the queues can be long. We know it’s hot. We know nobody wakes up thinking, “Ooooh, I fancy spending Saturday queuing for grey trousers.” 😂
Our team are working their absolute socks off to give every child and parent the same excellent service when it’s their turn.
However… yesterday one customer reduced a member of our team to tears.
And that’s where the funny bit stops.
We will NOT tolerate abuse towards our staff. Ever.
If you shout at, swear at, intimidate or abuse one of our team, you won’t jump the queue, you won’t get served faster and you definitely won’t magically make a 28” trouser appear from the stockroom.
You simply won’t be served. You’ll be asked to leave, and you won’t be welcome back.
Our staff work incredibly hard during these few manic weeks. They’re human beings, not contestants on Who Can Survive Back-to-School Week? 😵💫😂
And whilst we completely understand the stress of getting children ready for September, unfortunately your lack of planning cannot become our staff’s emergency. 🙈
So to the 99.9% of you who have been patient, kind, funny and genuinely lovely while waiting — THANK YOU. ❤️ We see you, we appreciate you, and we promise we’re moving as quickly as our little legs will carry us.
Come armed with patience, a sense of humour and preferably a coffee.
Come armed with attitude and you may be leaving with exactly the same amount of uniform you arrived with. ZERO. 🤣👋
Love,
The slightly frazzled but still smiling Petites Modes Team ❤️
