Stale fish

Dear Sir/Madam, I bought a ‘fresh’ trout from Sainsbury’s fish counter in Lewes Road on the Sunday 16th January. When I opened it later that day, I realised it was covered in slime and clearly, dangerously, stale. The use by date on the pack was the 17th of January. I took it back to the [...]

Herbal Horror

Dear Herbal Essences, I feel I must write to complain about your new shampoo and conditioner bottles. While the new design is fresh, new and original in essence (ha, ha) the questions and answers on the back of the bottle continue to frustrate me.

Shopping Mall Complaint

Dear Shopping Mall Manager, Something that I find quite disgusting is happening in your Shopping Mall. Things that should be done in private are being done in public. I’m not talking about public displays of affection, drunks falling down and vomiting all over the place or even men urinating on public buildings, no, it’s the [...]

Primani

Primani…. a place where women revert to their primeval instincts. In Primark anything goes, it’s like another world, a modern day journey to the heart of darkness. You walk through the doors in a good mood; it’s a sunny day and you’ve been shopping. But once you get through those doors everything changes. It’s an [...]

Dear Sir, I am delighted that Harrods is celebrating the 70th Year since The Wizard of Oz was first released. I have loved the movie since I was a very young girl, losing myself in the magic and fantasy of this story. I believe that the staff in your Department Store has created a wonderful [...]

My Nuts!

Dear Mr Sainsbury (Or Mrs although I doubt it as she would have ensured your nuts were sparkling prior to going on display) I am writing to you regarding an experience I was unfortunate enough to endure today. Not an elderly gentleman bent over the tomatoes fingering them with his quite frankly filthy paws although [...]

I live in Bathgate, Scotland and have just heard of people being fined for parking in Aldi’s car park in Bathagte. Amongst others, I heard of one woman (a retired lady) who did her shopping at Aldi’s – when she arrived home she realised she had forgot to buy an item, so returned to purchase [...]

Another Sainsbury Complaint

Yesterday I discovered two foreign bodies in a cherry scone purchased from Sainsbury’s Archer Road, Sheffield. I think these are pieces of what seem to be cartridge paper – rolled up. I thought at first they were pieces of animal skin, I took one of the pieces to Sainsbury’s Dronfield which they kept, along with [...]

Dear Sir/Madam, It is with some regret that I am writing this letter as I have, until recently, quite enjoyed shopping in your establishment. However, on my last 3 visits I have had my patience pushed to the limit. The reason for this is your checkout with the sign ‘ 10 items or less’. The [...]

Adsa Bournemouth

Write your letter here… (don’t forget to delete this text) I recently decided to discontinue shopping at Adsa Bournemouth. The service is simply apalling. It seems that which ever time I choose to shop at least half of the tills are closed. The queues are very long and many of the cashiers seem to enjoy [...]
