Max News Stop

Poor customer service.
On receiving my change from buying my morning paper and drink, I asked the tattooed ‘dude’ behind the counter if I could get two £1 pound coins in change rather than a single £2 pound coin… to which he responded that he isn’t a bank and handed me a £2 coin.
With customer appreciation like that, I’ll be back for sure.

Max News Stop is strangely anonymous. They don’t have a website or, more oddly, a phone number. At least they didn’t seem to want to give me one!
Anyway I can assure you Max News Stop (which also sounds a bit like some secret message via telegram) does exist. I used to drop in regularly on my long walk to uni. There’s nothing particularly remarkable about Max News, it sells newspapers rather predictably. It also offers the usual array of sweets, cheap sandwiches and phone cards, which all newsagents of this type tend to stock.
A little more unusually Max News also sells a s very small selection of flowers and sometimes plotted plants. Complementing this they also offer a variety of gift cards (admittedly not all appropriate for flower giving e.g. «Happy 5^th Birthday for a special son»). Some of these cards are of unexpected quality.
Anyway other than the small supermarket down the road there are surprisingly few newsagents in the area, so its worth keeping Max News Stop in mind. I could also do with someone else writing a review just to rid myself of that niggling doubt that I actually just made this place up.
