I too had high hopes for the Co-op, but was left disapointed. Shelves bare, disinterested staff, a lack of basic food items, fresh items going off too quickly and unpaked items left to rot, general mess. I was only saying to my wife this evening, after a trip there, that the manager seems to be doing a really bad job. I'd have thought, given the obvious investment made in the new shiny store, that more would have been put into training the staff.
