So this annoys me

So I saw today that a local takeout in my area has gone bust they have closed down. There were people commenting about the rent been too high in the area which is a problem for businesses in Bournemouth, and other sympathies.

However I bought from that take out twice and despite the food been good decided

you may be wondering why? if the food was so good. Well because the second time we only got half our order delivered. When I rang in I was told this was impossible and outright that I was lying so I was accused of committing fraud when not getting my food. I never got the missing food or my money back and felt insulted so decided never again.

on their reviews multiple upon multiple people made the same accusation and were called liars and thief's effectively. So they didnt get business and went bust. I won't accuse them of deliberate short changing maybe they had some incompetent staff maybe unbeknown to them a driver was nicking food I can only speculate.

However no one acknowledges this its just a story of wo and the poor small businessman failing.

Lets look at a few others in Bournemouth that I saw go bust, a local fish and chippy I went in a few times and then one time politely asked how is business, I wasnt expecting a portfolio report just was merely been polite I expected "steady Steady" something like that instead I got aggressively told "non of your beeswax" like what is even with that? they went bust maybe poor customer service.

Then there was the hairdresser I went to one time who I am not kidding told me that "she thought I was a virgin geeky loser and I should just kill myself" I am not even kidding. Like did she think she was one of the cool chicks on some sort of American high school movie or something? obviously never went back and her business went bust. again lots of sympathy for her and expressions of the high Bournemouth rent.

Then finally I have the souvenir shop that I decided to browse in to kill time when the bus was going to be a while, the guy openly accused me of shop lifting got in my face in a very aggressively threatening way refused to let me leave and forced me to empty all my bags and pockets for inspection. You can say that isn't legal I am not sure on that one but the guy was not going to let me leave and could possibly kill me in one or two punches so I couldnt exactly argue. When he saw I hadnt taken anything no apology just aggression when I said I will never go in again his response was literally (I cant remember exactly but this is almost exact) "good **** off" his business went bust.

usual expressions of people blaming the high rent in Bournemouth and sympathies.

Now I mean sure the high rent in Bournemouth puts a lot of pressure on shops I fully get that, however I just wish that the media and people could acknowledge other reasons why these businesses went under.

    Perhaps you could pop into the local undertakers and ask how business is.

    He'll probably say it's dying

    The only common denominator here is you.

    You'll find yourself banned from Bournemouth completely at this rate.
