Another Great Experience at Kingston

The team I spoke to we’re very friendly, when I was browsing vinyl I was approached by very friendly member of staff who asked if I wanted any help I explained I was enjoying myself looking through the vinyl, and I was left alone, which was much appreciated.
I was given a card with one of the sales assistance name on it. Unfortunately I lost it l, which is a shame that I can’t name the very helpful and friendly staff member.
