Our local Sainsbury's has recently been revamped and now sells clothes but would you believe it, there are no changing rooms! Just a mirror at one end of the clothes area.
It works out ok tho at the mo as since I shopped there when they reopened the other week I keep getting vouchers with my receipt saying £4 off next £40 shop or such like. Well if I don't want to spend £40 on groceries, I just make up the amount with clothes, bring them home, try them on, keep or not as the fit/look decides and return what I don't want.

Often return the lot but have already had my £4 off so am quids in and when I do keep something, it's usually off the reduced rail so am getting a new item for next to nothing, almost literally lol

why dont M&S put in drop down stools
that fold flat to the walls
give everybody the option
if they want to use one or need one
and if not they could still have the extra room

Went to M&S in Reading yesterday and yes ..........LOADS of room and two ...yes two seats

There was a area without a curtain that had the first door entering into then a curtained area for you to change loads of room ...

I would ask why some are like that and some are not!

I don't think most of our places have seats, I have perfected the flamingo on one leg bit.... Some places have a bench shelf thing but I am not certain to how reliable they are in supporting the weight of some people.

But I was rather takenaback in one place - it was a communal changing room with people and bags all around the edges. I said no thanks I do have some dignity.

I was even more amazed at toilets in a place in Melbourne - the door tops were so low that one can look over the top... reminded one of kindergarten.

In most of the stores I go into - here in Oz - there is a bench running the length of one of the walls in the dressing rooms. The one shop that doesn't has two chairs to one side of the dressing rooms which can be brought in if necessary. These are also in a position where an older or less fit person can sit while waiting for someone to help them.

I don't think ours will put in drop down seats now as, if rumours are correct, they are moving soon. The old woolworths store which was very big had a link door to the menswear and underwear department of M&S, the ladies wear and food is in another street (on two arms of a cross). One in Southgate and one in Northgate street a couple of minutes apart, really inconvenient but always been like it. We think the ladies wear is to move into Woolworths old building to make it one shop.
