Sainsburys

This is the worst Sainsbury store I’ve ever used.
The product range is about average for a Sainsbury’s supermarket and includes clothes, music, DVDs, and the store also has a café.
If you use the store at 8:15 as I have done before then you should not expect to find freshly baked goods, fish on the fish counter, or staff at either the deli or butchers counter.
Checkout wait times here are unacceptably long. Expect to wait more than five minutes between 12:00 and 14:00 when the students from the local college cause mayhem.
The store was recently redesigned to include more self scan tills, making ten in total. That said if you’re not in the store at peak times expect to find only four of them open. Also they’re often not staffed so the moment you buy anything needing staff authorisation you’ll have a long wait.
It’s the staff that really spoil this store, and I’m unsure why Sainsbury’s don’t sack some to motivate the rest of them. They are the most surly, unecessarily defensive, and rude supermarket staff I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

This is an average size Sainsbury’s with quite a wide range of products. The clothes area and household stuff sometimes seems a little crammed together and they are generally more pricey than local grocery competitors. There is plenty of parking though and the car park is handy if you want to pop into town before doing your shop — car park fees up to two hours are refunded if you spend a fiver in the shop.
