Co op vs Marks and Spencer

[macutd]

i just drove up Lordship Lane Marks and Spenser queuing around the cornered Co op no queue. Why?

[FineWhine]

Because people are stupid?

[Bony Fido]

Snobbishness?

Shoplifters seem to prefer the Co-op - twice in recent days I've seen the Police attending the Co-op for this.

M&S seems to be consistently better stocked compared to the Co-op.

[kford]

Co-op less busy, less stocked.

[creditwheredue]

M&S have more ready meals, people are lazy.

If there is a queue, people will join it. It just takes one.

Believe peeps started queuing for William Rose about 7 this morning... and up Bassano St.

Went to Co Op a few days ago - limited selection, needed some cat food, paid ?2.25 for usual brand which would cost me ?1.65 in Sainsbury's. wanted cream or evaporated milk - nothing. Found prices very high in general. However ?1.25 for a rhubarb pie which lasted 2 days was a good value.
