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.

      Up the reform

      By Sue · Posted

      Those studies are ten years old. I wonder if there is anything more recent. Also, I haven't looked at them, but from what you say,  the studies apparently asked people if THEY thought they were "racially prejudiced". For several  reasons, on the face of it that isn't likely to produce an accurate indication of the level of actual racial prejudice in that sample. Also, how was "racial prejudice" defined? And "racist attitudes"?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Angelina · Posted

      I'd say hold on to it in case you need it. There may be a time when it helps you get around more easily. You'd know if that's easily done, if you've got somewhere to park it etc

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Sue · Posted

      I scarcely use my ancient (1998!) non ULEZ compliant car any more, which I have had for nearly 20 years. It is presently  used mainly to take bulky  things up to my allotment or the tip, occasional weekends away,  festivals or  camping trips, and sometimes giving people lifts to and from stations. But that's mainly because I have to pay the ULEZ charge every time I use it. It has been very reliable, is  in good nick and passes its MOT every year. Now, after months without use apart from opening the door to put things into the car, a new battery bought last September is dead and won't charge 😭 I realise this is my own stupid fault for not realising that you shouldn't let a battery completely discharge, and I should have gone for a drive or charged the battery before. I have hung onto the car because I am over the age limit for car share  club type things and car hire companies (though my daughter has just found a website with car hire schemes for ancient people). Also I am not used to driving more modern cars! I looked into getting a (second hand)  replacement when ULEZ came in, and it just all seemed like too much hassle. Now I don't know whether it's worth shelling out for yet another new battery (DUH) . The one I got is still  under guarantee, but only for "manufacturing faults" and I imagine this won't apply in this case. But if I don't I will have to somehow dispose of the car, which also needs at least one tyre inflating, for which I need a working battery 😭 If you don't have a car, how do you manage, especially if like me you are very old (but reasonably mobile, touch wood!) ?  And/or do you have any advice on whether I should keep the car, or if not what to do with it?
