It's Not Magic, It's Work!

I don't like Sainsbury's

Between my work, and the train station home there is a small, and some what elderly Sainsbury's supermarket. I don't like it a lot, and the only reason we shop there is that it's convenient.

I can cope with it being small, I've been in smaller but better stocked stores before. I can cope with it being a tad shabby, it's basically clean, and that's what matters. Basically it's not competitive on price with Tesco or ASDA, and the quality isn't as good as Waitrose, or even Tesco to be honest.

What really annoys me though are the small things, like an in-store bakery that never seems to be able to bake decent bread. Or their 1p refund on shopping bags that you never seem to get. Their latest annoyance being their "scan and pack" policy, where they take an age to scan and badly pack your shopping in a collection of new bags!

Thankfully, a new Tesco Metro is opening along my route, Sainsbury's will either have to improve, or lose my business!
