Waitrose is to merge their loyalty card scheme with John Lewis. https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/service-and-availability/john-lewis-and-waitrose-to-roll-out-joint-loyalty-scheme/648462.article?fbclid=IwAR21GdIxdzZN5Qgz11R5C_Anzlw0mpUcq_enxj8n4xORaOWg1eiXNnpGHSs I was confused by this because I thought ...

I wouldn't be surprised if rent is paid to the parent company from 'Argos Limited' for those concessions. It's no different to commercial radio, where the local businesses that operate the licence pay fees to the larger company such as Global or Bauer, although it's the same overall business moving...

Any idea how many Argos stores will never reopen? I was in Caernarfon and the store remains closed. There was still an unopened pallet of catalogues from January. Are the stores closed because they don't have sufficient staff to operate them, staff couldn't socially distance within them, to ease pre...

My local store had the same daft arrangement of a sign with plastic bags above. About a week later though they had been replaced with the new style bags.

So these replicate the functionality of the QuickPay machines that existed in the larger stores - many of which they've now closed. It did surprise me that there wasn't any self pay option as it seemed to be a backwards step.

Has anyone seen an Argos in a Sainsbury’s with Quick Pay machines? Our local store before it moved from the High Street to Sainsbury’s had Quick Pay machines but now it’s in Sainsbury’s these no longer exist.

Also do these stores have their own cash office facilities or are they using Sainsbury’s?

What is the position if a retailer fails to charge for a bag? In the past week or so I've been given four bags without charge. In one case it was at a petrol station and it might be that it is a franchise and therefore falls below the 250 employee limit. In the other case it was a national retailer ...
