The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome
I went into the Meadowhall store with my friend today, I wasn’t really looking for myself as I am a larger lady and thought they wouldn’t have anything to fit me. I was chatting to the assistant on the changing rooms while my friend tried some clothes on, saying I like the clothes and wish they would fit me. She told me about their curve range for larger sizes and asked another assistant to show me what they had. The second assistant stayed with me and helped me to look as I was in my wheelchair. She picked out lots of clothes for me and encouraged me to try them. I took some to the changing room and was very impressed by their lovely big disabled changing room. The first assistant helped me to try on the clothes whilst the other one searched through the rails to find more things to try on. They were both so helpful, friendly and kind, I felt so welcome in the shop both as a disabled person and as a larger lady. After trying lots of clothes on I settled on 2 tops of the same style but in different colours and a dress that they had in one colour in the shop but a different colour in a smaller size. It was no trouble for the assistants to order the other colour for me in my size and have it delivered to my house. I feel like they all went above and beyond for me today. They even had a water fountain outside the changing rooms.
