An ex employee on Poundland's prices
, 22, from Northampton, has revealed she used to work in Poundland and often heard customers say the same annoying thing.
Holly claimed she worked for Poundland in 2015 for three months as a Christmas temp.
She said that customers would get annoyed when products cost more than £1 individually.
In a comical video, Holly acted out a scenario that often occurred on her shift at the bargain store, where customers were always baffled and irritated that items could cost over £1.
Holly uploaded her video with the caption "I heard this a lot" as she said: “POV: Not everything's £1 in Poundland”.
Holly explained that customers would often say to her: “But this is the pound shop, is it not?”
"That’s very misleading, I’ll only pay for that if it’s a pound.”
“Disgusting, what a rip off."
