If i could give 0 stars i would. The store is In Gateshead on High Street. Staff is extremely rude to people especially foreigners.As soon as i walked in the door and was talking to my auntie in Bulgarian they started making weird faces even though we were talking very quietly.When i was at the till i miscounted one item and i thought my bill was £11, when the lady said £13 i very kindly said "Oh, i thought it should be £11, can i just check again" to make sure i was cointing right.The lady on the till and the one next to her was very rudely and agitated with me said "NO! It's £13!""But ok ii will count again, if our staff is being ACCUSED!"She slammed the calculator on the till and started vigorously to calculate my purchases despite me saying after the 2nd item- oh that's fine. She was huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes, while saying Sorry to the lady behind me even though i had only been at the till for a couple of minutes... I told them they were being extremely rude, i was almost crying by that time... And i walked out of the store with tears in my eyes. I am a care worker, and i always buy from charity shops and always donate money and clothes too, because i know the cause is very important. I will never set foot in this Salvation Army shop, and i won't let my friends and family be treated like that either. It's a shame they hire such rude people. This is not the first time i felt bad due to the bad behaviour of some staff towards me, but this time was completely humiliating...
