AI Highlights
  • - Self-checkout purchase; no receipt printed.
  • - Refund denied without a receipt; last receipt only.
  • - Complaints department handled the request.

My 11-year-old son purchased an item and paid for it in-store at self-checkout; however, no receipt was printed. It turned out to be the wrong item, so we went to get a refund but were told that without a receipt, they would not provide a refund.

When asked to print the receipt from the machine, we were informed that they could only print the last receipt and other people had used the machine, so they couldn't do it. Even though he had proof from his bank card, I had to ask for the complaints department for them to carry out the request. Additionally, WH Smith has no contactable person to speak to by phone. This has put me off shopping here again.

I have also told all my children they are not to shop there. This is very disturbing.

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Don't shop at wh smiths
