OK, what about a quick whinge about your local supermarket?

Oh dear, I may set the cat amongst the pigeons here a bit, but we all like a target for a whinge now and then, don't we ?

An easy one to aim at is supermarkets.

For example, I hear TV adverts trying to tell me that the Co-Op has won some award for being the best fish & meat place.

Er, I beg to differ.

Our local 9 check-out whizzy one has no fresh fish, just frozen items.

The bacon & sausages are acceptable, but a chilled roasting joint is as tough as old boots.

It is hopeless, so I go to the local fishmonger and butcher.

Plus, a Tesco in a nearby town sold me a dud mobile 'phone, and told me, in effect, to go to Japan if I had a complaint.

Charming.

What is the worst example you have in your neck of the woods ?

    the local morrisons employ lots of young immigrants from latvia so if you are trying to find something and you ask for help they dont fully understand what you are saying and always have to get a manager to help.

    they do put english people on the meat counters and on the check outs but on the shop floor i have never spoke to an english person yet.

    the local tescos is open 24/7 but they close 75% of the tills and customer services after 10pm which can be very annoying

    i agree about the co-op thing. my best mate lives 4 doors down from a big co-op supermarket and it doesnt sell any fresh fish at all

    i live in the back end of nowhere, and my local "shops" is actually an old bus with covered up windows that pulls into the street at about 7pm each night.

    The first few days it came i actually thought there was some sort of chemical leak or air raid or something in the near by industrial estate - because it has the most crazy sounding ultra loud horn that you have ever heard, and it blasts it off at the end of the street.

    It's all super walmarts around here. It's awful, as the selections are bad, "fresh" veggies and meat are a joke here. Try finding a decent avocado here, and you'll make yourself scream.
