I'm a little bit miffed at this store , I just bought a four pack of diet coca cola , sat down to drink one at home at it didn't taste right , checked the date and was disgusted to see it said 31- January -2017 . I called the store and they played it down saying its probably just a misprint !

On another occasion I was buying a choose your own topping pizza and was shocked to see the girl making the pizza wasn't wearing gloves , her fingers were all over the base and she rearranged the ham using her hands , I mentioned it to her only to be told they don't wear gloves , I thought that was a basic hygiene requirement .

I can't comment on their hygiene but I did speak to the manager once after seeing a mouse running around one of the aisles in the middle of the day.


You also have to watch that the price at the till is the same as the one on the shelf. Customer Services will refund you the difference but it always seems wrong to me. Not as bad as Superdrug, though, where it seems to be part of their business model.

  • 5 weeks later...

We have spent a consideable amount of money in this store over the last six weeks and sure we are not alone in this.


However, checking receipts, we have found, twice, mistakes. On one receipt we were overcharged four times (four items duplicated) and receipts difficult to decipher when buying reduced items.


I watch the amounts rung and often find 'reduced' items do not register at the checkout. Mistakes made at the checkout and noticed immediately necessitate a queue at the Customer Services.


Where do locals shop as an alternative to this lacklustre store?


We are concerned that meat is sold with the sell by date current, despite assurances that it is legal to do so -

I check everything now. Buying cheese, we found the sell by dates varied by over 10 days, and cream also bore a current date.


Be vigilant good citizens, happy shopping.

Saw it happen today, lady bought a number of bags of price reduced oranges and was at customer services to get her bill adjusted. Likewise butter was on offer on the shelf but not registered at the till as being on offer so a wait in the queue at customer services who promptly corrected the error.


This is going back to how they operated at that store a few years ago hence having shopped elsewhere till recently. Always check your receipt after coming through checkout.


Suggest if you use Morrisons self check out tills in Peckham you Carefully check your change as it is Regularly Wrong and needs correcting always in our favour not theirs.

It's been going on at Sainsbury's for years. You have to notice prices on the shelf and watch what comes up at the checkout, then go to the CS desk to get them to refund the difference. For what it's worth, at least it's not as bad as at Superdrug, where it happens literally every visit.
The last sales at M&S in Croydon the tills weren't recognising the reduced prices. I wondered how many people thought they'd got a bargain because they hadn't checked their bills. I held up the queue because I noticed nothing had come through at the advertised price. I think the excuse was something about no-one re-setting the tills.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
