I think it has gone down hill


I was in there not too long ago and asked for cauliflower from the worker on the fruit and veg aisle. He told me he couldn't leave his trolley he was unpacking because he had 3 other aisles to stock on top of his own usual fruit and veg aisle!


He said your welcome to complain, to which i told him i would but not about him but about the situation the poor management had left him in! and this was back in Nov so no real Dec Xmas rush... i sympathize with the guy, i used to work in that store and another too but i never had anything like that happen to me - 3 flipping aisles to stock on your own what a joke! hard enough ddoing one, what a joke! poor fella...


Anyway i found someone and she took bloody 20 mins to look and came back with nothing i kid you not! both nice people and not their fault but yeesh how bad is that?!


I didnt complain in the end... not after waiting 20 mins, i just wanted to get out of there!

Whether the comments about service quality are justified or not, the criticisms of price appear not to be.


Sainsburys is currently the cheapest of the full service supermarkets https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/aldi-lidl-sainsburys-which-cheapest-supermarket-a4337921.html.

Live very nearby Sainsburys DKH so have found myself in there several times a week over the past 6 or so years and I definitely think it?s gone down hill, particularly in the past 2 months.

I haven?t a bad word to say about the staff. I?ve always found them to be very friendly, helpful & pleasant.

But the shelves are half empty! At the moment, it seems like the vegetable aisles are always half empty. I know it?s ?Veganuary? or whatever but good management/buying should have taken that into consideration.

Moreover - I?ve been noticing a rotten stench round said Aisles and today noticed, in a couple

of the very empty crates, a few inches of liquid that is best decribed as similar to ?bin juice? and the smell too. Staff were totally oblivious as they cleared the units of empty crates...

Shame because I?m loving the smart shop scanning and used to find everything I needed. Hope it?s just a blip!

There's been on ongoing issue with rotten food in the fruit and crates for sometime. Staff do not seem concerned unless it is pointed out. Complacency?


I have also noticed an increase in the number of items where expiry dates have been exceeded by a few days while still on the shelves, but when highlighted to staff they are quick to react and appreciative.

As stated, tell the store manager, putting it on here won't give the store the information it needs to rectify the situation unless the manager is an avid reader of the forum. My suspicions are that they don't read the EDF.


If the manager isn't interested then contact head office

I've had calls from companies after bad reviews on TrustPilot or TripAdvisor - which I will then update if my issue is put right. Social Media works but it has to be a valid complaint.


EDF gets quoted regularly in certain newspapers I've noticed :)

I just wanted to add my thoughts to this thread, having gone to this Sainsburys for years - whilst it's certainly one downhill recently, and having a knack for always selling of the one thing I want (why is there always a dish on dish drying racks whenever I remember I need to buy one?) I have always found the staff to be some of the friendliest I've met in a supermarket, usually going the extra mile if you have questions. Same can be said for the Pharmacy staff, and the ones in Argos (even though they seem a bit bored sometimes).

I posted on this thread in November about the poor stocking in this store and the situation has definitely deteriorated since then. On any given visit over the last few moths, I've been unable to get several items that I've wanted. None of them particularly obscure items, either.


They're especially bad at keeping their fresh herbs and their dried herbs/spices fully stocked. I wonder if this is a problem that's peculiar to this store or all of Sainsburys. I don't really visit any others, so it's hard to tell.


Edited to add that I've never had any problems with their staff. This is a management/stock keeping issue.

      Christmas Cheese!

      By David Peckham · Posted

      An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
