Poor customer service

The staff behind the counter were unhelpful and totally detached fromwhat was going on in store.
I stood at a counter that said click and collect for 10 mins despite there being 2 members of staff at the tills. After 10mins one of the staff shouted out “anyone here doing click and collect check in at the terminals please”.
