Argos is coming to ED Sainsbury's

[Passiflora]

Three weeks to go to the new Argos but Sainsburys ED don't seem to have enough staff to cope with the self checkouts on a normal day to day basis anyway.

Was there last Tuesday afternoon and one of the self checkouts walked out without paying for ?55 worth of stuff!

That is happening alot, many times I have gone to use the self service till and someone s whole shopping has been scanned but not paid for.

There is also a careless worker who has a big mouth and when you need his help on the self service till he always leaves the till on the staff mode. Meaning that when he walks away you could wipe out most of your shopping and he would be none the wiser.

Sainsburys staff in Dulwich are mostly rude and unhelpful.

I stick by my decision to rarely if ever use this Sainsbury?s unless absolutely necessary. They charge far more than Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and Lidl (all within walking distance), for the same products!

I may go in more often to use the Argos store now though. That?s one positive.

They all have their good and bad points.

I don't trust the self checkouts in Morrisons as have had a number of discrepancies with the change dispensed, and currently a pain to get to due to the long term rye lane road works.

Tesco are OK but a bit of a trek to the OKR, but again long queues at both standard and self service checkouts, with often not enough open. Aldi and Lidl are great for certain items not available elsewhere or for some of their own brand goods. Items such as dried herbs, spices, jams, tinned fruit, some of their specials and when they have themed weeks. I find for certain items they are better value than the big 4. However have noticed recently even their prices have risen. Sainsbury's are a bit more expensive on certain items but certainly fresher goods and all round provide a better choice, but I have noticed their prices increasing on certain things.

Ultimately it's down to personal choice, my preference is different items from different stores.
