I haven't been to Sainsburys at DKH for several years as I order online. Went recently and found the lighting terrible and ended up with a headache after 15 minutes in there. Won't be repeating that trip again any time soon.

I think with this one and the Lower Sydenham store, it seems to be a struggle to make a profit these days. The Sydenham one is apparently the largest in the UK (of Sainsbury).

Changing shopping habits, people shopping online (obvs) plus shopping little and often which favours the smaller local stores.

The darker lighting is great for picking up the ladies as they can't see my face, hump or the fact I walk in a funny way


Don't knock the only advantage I have 😂😂

The bargains aren't there even though they claim they are the same price.


Use by/Best before dates have got worse in the past few years everywhere - what was once 2 weeks can now be 3 days unless you go through what they've got (and then the older ones just get left for the sucker who doesn't check) and again all this takes time and you have 2 hours.


of course - online you get what they bring. I've tried specifying less ripe fruit please and bread/cold meat/milk with 5+ days - but they aren't really going to listen I guess and then I end up chucking it :(.

You all need to try the Co-op and their prices


Just one thing I noticed yesterday Bassetts Jelly Babies ?1.60


Same thing available in a few small shops on Lordship Lane for ?1.00


I thought The Co-op was the 'Peoples' supermarket where did the 'Divi' go ?

Foxy.

it's not fair to pick on the co-op over jelly babies


there is a whole website dedicated to comparing prices for products across all supermarkets as it's known they ALL charge different prices at different times.



Sainsbury DKH is exceptionally overpriced though

Glad it?s not just me , I?m a carer and half the things I need to get are rarely there even though Sainsbury?s own .agree about lighting. I enquired about getting a loaf of bread without that days date on and was told we don?t reduce until tonight, I just wanted a loaf with at least a couple of days on and they didn?t have one 😩

I don't think it's unique to DKH or Sydenham, but there seems to be generally less stock available in Sainsburys, and they've started restocking aisles at peak times, which they never used to do and is really frustrating as it makes it a lot harder to navigate around the store.


I assumed it was because they were also picking online orders from the shelves rather than in back or because they run with a skeleton staff at nights when they would otherwise have to pay more for out of hours working.

I definitely think it's gone down hill. Lots of things not in stock when I go and not enough sales assistants to help. I think it's a shame. However, it's generally the more esoteric things I need and I find that I can source most of them from SMBS or Organic Village, or elsewhere on LL.

Their vegetables do not look fresh anymore, they never have king edwards potatoes or pizzas even at 11am.


The staff look so miserable and bored.


I find lately I go in happy but come out feeling miserable. This shop really drains my energy its so boring.


They need to play music in this store cause its so depressing, especially when there is no one In it. The shop is in silence.

I rarely go in there, but yes, when I do the people on the tills seem like they can hardly bring themselves to serve you.


On one occasion I actually said to the person on the checkout "You look like you really enjoy your job" and she looked at me and said "No I don't" :))


Whereas the people in M&S are almost always really cheerful and helpful.

I have found overpricing a real issue since I started using self scan, several items in each shop ive done recently have come up more expensive on screen than on the shelf, I have raised this several times now at the stores in question and been assured it would be checked and amended but only to find the same error on same products the following shop!

Sainsbury's recently got rid of their FREE flimsy plastic bags for Fruit and Veg. Thats's Good.


They now SELL small stronger (reuseable) ??? Bags for fruit and veg for 30p each.

You may need 4-5 of these if are buying Fruit and veg and want to keep them separate.

There is a real risk of contamination if you reuse them. (Dirty Loose Potatoes, Greens, Coriander) ??

They are made from Recycled Plastic Bottles but not sure if they themselves can be recycled.


On the other hand a PLUS for the Co-op.. They are doing Large Recyclable Green bags for 5p

They are suitable for food waste and marked as such and cheaper and stronger than the rolls

of food waste bags available elsewhere. ?3.95 for 25 15.8p each


Sainsbury's actually doing Nothing for the environment.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
