I must agree !
Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant !
The erection of coral fencing to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible.
The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone !
Just a couple of attended checkouts left, sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline
But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag. What could be easier or more efficient ?
If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss.
If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts
Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly shortly afterwards ) It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral.
There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. !
Why do I go there?
Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !!
And NO ! I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike
