Teignmouth Grand Pier — Attraction in Teignbridge

Utterly discussed with the owner.

I went in there today started to change up some cash in the change machine and was waiting on my wife and grandchild to come in, told my wife if she was struggling with our grandchild id go back out meet her then come back in. I had a hand full of £10 notes fully intending on letting my grandchild throw £100 away in the amusements for the first time and seeing the joy in her face as she blew the money.

I put one £10 note in the change machine and the owner walked up and told me after putting the first note in that I cant put any more in. And that I have to go to the bank even though they were closed at this time. He told me that it costs him to get his change in the machines. So £10 x £1 coins to spend a few hours with my grandchild because he obviously thought that I'd come and take his precious change for something else, i have no idea what though? Maybe at the casino? Bloody ridiculous!

Ok so as a self employed tradesman I had stopped at a quote before picking up my wife and grandchild so I was wearing my work trousers. Maybe its not appropriate clothing to satisfy the owner Utterly ridiculous!

His assumptions about my intentions and blatant rude attitude just saw him lose £100 in business minus his over heads smart move?

I ended up going to paignton instead and you know what the pound coins from that £10 note well obviously they came with me. So £100 down in business and 10 of his precious £1 coins gone.

I wouldn't support a business at this time, help an owner profit who was a complete judgemental idiot and treats his potential customers like that!

Dont judge a book by its cover you saw a young tradesman rinsing your change jar, when in fact there was a tradesman out to spend the rest of the day with his grandchild, to see her eye light up by throwing money into your pocket.

I dont take full days off not even weekends including Sundays. But I know for a fact as a local self employed tradesman, every time I do get to cram a few hours in here and there with the family to go out, we will not be visiting your business or supporting it. You just messed up you should of thought about the life time customer value to your business not someone taking your change for the boozer.

UTTERLY...

Okay guys if anyone sees my comment teignmouth pier got battered in the year of Feb 2014 and lost 90% percent of there machines, so basically at the moment everything is new on there and at the moment I been talking to the people who work on the pier and they say they don't have the money to do anymore repairs to the pier which is a shame it breaks my heart everytime I go there, I used to live in teignmouth and it was honestly such a good pier to be on, but the dreaded storm of Feb 2014 destroyed it all, with all of your help by visiting there we could get some money back into the pier so that they can get the pier back to its formal glory if I had thousands of pounds myself I would donate to the pier to help out so if you know of anyone that could donate to the pier to get back to its formal glory please let me know, they said they have a 10 year plan to get it back to what it used to look like but I want this pier looking good again quickly, but other than that I always visit teignmouth pier because I still love visiting there it's like my second...

I have two girls 6 and 3 so this pier is perfect, you don't have to spend very much to give them a little treat. They love winning tokens on the 2p machine, hitting aliens with the mallet and ball throwing games. Then there are the cars and some of the kids rides which always make them laugh. I don't think this arcade would necessarily entertain teenagers for long although there are the bikes and car games. Ideal for the youngsters but for big spenders you might be better off heading to Paignton. You can got out and enjoy the awesome views of Teignmouth and the News but you can't walk to the end, it remains closed after it was badly damaged in the storms that hit the South West a few years ago. This is why you should visit as they need the funds so they can rebuild the pier and replace all the games and rides lost in the storm. A 4 star rating as it could be much better with...
