In my opinion JD in Aldershot is crap. They have the image of being a Chav store (no offence to anyone who shops in there, I'm not saying you are one) and so many people feel uncomfortable in the store because a lot of the staff give off the image of being a Chav, having got to know some of them I now know they're not all like that.

Recently my Fiance went to work in the Aldershot branch, he wanted a part time job so we could see each other more. Anyway the first few weeks were fine, until it came to payday and he didn't get paid, he went to speak to them about it and they said they'd done the paperwork wrong, so he had to wait even longer to get paid and when he finally did they did it in a lump sum so he got taxed around £45!
But that's not the only thing...the Manager & Assistant Manager both got suspended for bullying each other and then both left & now they have a Manager that doesn't have a clue and has hired an Assistant Manager who has no experience what so ever, she's just an old mate...what does that tell you?

That's not the only thing that annoys me though, they mainly hire young kids, still at college and under 18, who all get paid pretty much minimum wage, my boyfriend is 19 and gets £4.73! How they can justify that when they ask such high prices for their clothes, no wonder their company have taken off, it's cheap labour.

Anyway now I've had my rant i'll tell you about the store. They've recently had a refit so it does look a bit brighter. You'll be able to spot staff easily as they wear black T-Shirts with "Team" written on the front and "I Work Here" written on the back. If you want to know about the products they sell the best person to ask for is the supervisor, he knows a hell of a lot. They tend to sell all the main brands such as Nike, Adidas, Reebok as well as McKenzie, Cabrini and many others.

They do have a website if you want to check it out it's www.jdsports.co.uk. I think they show all the items they sell for Men, Women & Juniors. They can only ship within the UK and delivery is £3.99 or Free if you spend over £75 which could be quite easy with the prices. Deliveries will usually be made within 2 working days.

If you think that is bad you should see the branch in Poole, there's more chavs and pikeys to the square foot than anywhere else in the UK. shops are notoriously bad payers which discourages anyone to really make a career of retail
