I think it has gone down hill


I was in there not too long ago and asked for cauliflower from the worker on the fruit and veg aisle. He told me he couldn't leave his trolley he was unpacking because he had 3 other aisles to stock on top of his own usual fruit and veg aisle!


He said your welcome to complain, to which i told him i would but not about him but about the situation the poor management had left him in! and this was back in Nov so no real Dec Xmas rush... i sympathize with the guy, i used to work in that store and another too but i never had anything like that happen to me - 3 flipping aisles to stock on your own what a joke! hard enough ddoing one, what a joke! poor fella...


Anyway i found someone and she took bloody 20 mins to look and came back with nothing i kid you not! both nice people and not their fault but yeesh how bad is that?!


I didnt complain in the end... not after waiting 20 mins, i just wanted to get out of there!

Whether the comments about service quality are justified or not, the criticisms of price appear not to be.


Sainsburys is currently the cheapest of the full service supermarkets https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/aldi-lidl-sainsburys-which-cheapest-supermarket-a4337921.html.

Live very nearby Sainsburys DKH so have found myself in there several times a week over the past 6 or so years and I definitely think it?s gone down hill, particularly in the past 2 months.

I haven?t a bad word to say about the staff. I?ve always found them to be very friendly, helpful & pleasant.

But the shelves are half empty! At the moment, it seems like the vegetable aisles are always half empty. I know it?s ?Veganuary? or whatever but good management/buying should have taken that into consideration.

Moreover - I?ve been noticing a rotten stench round said Aisles and today noticed, in a couple

of the very empty crates, a few inches of liquid that is best decribed as similar to ?bin juice? and the smell too. Staff were totally oblivious as they cleared the units of empty crates...

Shame because I?m loving the smart shop scanning and used to find everything I needed. Hope it?s just a blip!

Brexit.

There's been on ongoing issue with rotten food in the fruit and crates for sometime. Staff do not seem concerned unless it is pointed out. Complacency?


I have also noticed an increase in the number of items where expiry dates have been exceeded by a few days while still on the shelves, but when highlighted to staff they are quick to react and appreciative.

As stated, tell the store manager, putting it on here won't give the store the information it needs to rectify the situation unless the manager is an avid reader of the forum. My suspicions are that they don't read the EDF.


If the manager isn't interested then contact head office

I've had calls from companies after bad reviews on TrustPilot or TripAdvisor - which I will then update if my issue is put right. Social Media works but it has to be a valid complaint.


EDF gets quoted regularly in certain newspapers I've noticed :)

I just wanted to add my thoughts to this thread, having gone to this Sainsburys for years - whilst it's certainly one downhill recently, and having a knack for always selling of the one thing I want (why is there always a dish on dish drying racks whenever I remember I need to buy one?) I have always found the staff to be some of the friendliest I've met in a supermarket, usually going the extra mile if you have questions. Same can be said for the Pharmacy staff, and the ones in Argos (even though they seem a bit bored sometimes).

I posted on this thread in November about the poor stocking in this store and the situation has definitely deteriorated since then. On any given visit over the last few moths, I've been unable to get several items that I've wanted. None of them particularly obscure items, either.


They're especially bad at keeping their fresh herbs and their dried herbs/spices fully stocked. I wonder if this is a problem that's peculiar to this store or all of Sainsburys. I don't really visit any others, so it's hard to tell.


Edited to add that I've never had any problems with their staff. This is a management/stock keeping issue.

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway. 
    • Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
    • You are welcome to have mine for free. I was just about to post! Three panels - 6ft by 5ft - weathered/natural on one side and painted brown on the other.
