Good Food Gets Lost at Sainsbury’s

Because of Sainsbury’s current 50% off promotion, I decided to do my big stock-shop of the year this evening using their online service for the first time. I spent over an hour adding items to my virtual shopping basket. Booked my delivery slot and placed my order – almost £500 worth of shopping – all [...]

Tesco Store Layout

Dear Sir or Madam Ref: Tesco Store Layout As supermarkets are the cheapest way to shop and yours is the closest to where I live, I do my main shop with you every Wednesday. Being of a short build, five foot in fact, it would seem I am not the only one who struggles to [...]

There were three letters in total. The below is the first which gives you an explanation as to what I was complaining about, the second was much the same because I received a stock answer and the third was my juvenile way of responding to a second stock answer… 29th January 2010 Dear Sirs, I [...]

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 [...]

10 Items or Less!!

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 [...]

Eating in the Supermarket

Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to complain about the growing practice in some supermarkets of customers who are consuming the produce before paying at the checkout. Not only is this practice in some cases un-hygienic I am sure many of these customers are not paying for what they have consumed. Last week I overheard a parent [...]

Gossip girls at your local Shop!

Hi everybody. I thought I would just complain about my local shop. Not as if I stress this enough but my local shop named “Nisa Local” has only 3 girls working there and when i have my shopping, i witness the three girls in the corner just chatting. “Oh my god , Ashley is dating [...]

The issue with being under eighteen…

Dear Tesco (and all similar supermarkets), I would like to start out by stating I respect the law. I recognise it is in society’s best interest for killing people to be frowned upon. I fully sympathise with those who think that one should not take things that don’t belong to them. I also agree that [...]

Christmas Food Shopping

I hate food shopping, in fact I have a tendency to get bored to the point that I really do not care if we miss half the items on the list, I just want to go home! So you can imagine how I felt about the Christmas food shop I had been avoiding for two [...]

Dear Sir/Madam, MAGAZINE STOCKING AND DISPLAY POLICY, ASDA FOLKESTONE I write as a parent to complain in the strongest possible terms about what I am told is a national policy for magazine stocking and display in Asda stores. Asda Folkestone has a deserved reputation as a family-friendly store which I visit regularly with my children [...]

A cheerful complaint about Walthamstow’s Asda

Dear Walthamstow Asda, I’m not an angry woman. I like to think of myself as patient and tolerant – I used to teach eight year olds for God’s sake, and they’re bloody irritating. So little things tend not to aggravate me too much, least of all a shopping expedition to the local supermarket. What could [...]

Sainsbury Self Service Checkouts

I would like to complain about the introduction of more and more self service checkouts in my local sainsbury store in Islington. There used to be a fast service area for baskets only with one queue for about 1 or more checkouts which moved very quickly and efficiently. This whole area and more of the [...]
