You don?t have to wait in the big queue for collections. Go to the door and there should be someone there who can go get your order and bring it back.

We went to pick up something ordered online at argos and they let us jump the queue - but they are very strict you are escorted straight out and not allowed to bunk into sainsburys - very frustrating as there were lots of discounted post-Easter eggs on display!

Started queuing at 10.50am, got into the store 11.35am, 45min wait with the queue all the way out and starting to go UP Dog Kennel Hill.


SOME people are still yet to grasp the concept of what 2m actually is, rather than them thinking 2m is is akin to 8 or 10m, which results in the queue being much longer than it needs to be.

There's never a good time to go and you just have to take pot luck!


Went on Tuesday morning and queued for around 25 minutes. As I got towards the front a couple sauntered towards the front of the queue and asked about the Argos situation but were re-directed to go back to the end of queue. I did feel for them but maybe Argos should be updating their website.

I got in the que yesterday at 10am, I didn't get in the shop till 11.30, they seem to be letting less people in at once.


also the barrier down the middle of the self service till has now created less space, so if the person at the nezt till wants to get pass you, they will now pass nearer to you.

Just an FYI on the click and collect from this store, I used this for the first time earlier in the week. I didn't want my substitutes and was told I could refuse them but they didn't have a scanner at the truck so would process them later in the store. Sadly they weren't processed.

When I managed to speak to a manager and get my refund, he told me that they are supposed to have a scanner in the truck to process rejected items.


I would also recommend pulling into a free space and checking your shop before leaving. I was missing a tray of items.

Argos have a big poster on the exit doors mentioning that you may have to join the Sainsbury's queue to collect items from them.

Even if this were true (it isn?t) it would make no difference to how long you have to queue. Better than too close.

Where you there?

Because I was, and saw how people can't judge what 2m is, if people significantly over estimate the distance, then guess what, it does lengthen the queue and makes queuing much longer, i.e. twice as long as the previous week(S).

I know how long queuing took to get in.

But but it?s not the length of the queue that dictates how long people queue for but the number of people in the queue which would be the same whether they stand 2m apart or 10m apart

Was there this morning at 11.30ish. It moved pretty quickly (speed of entry of course unrelated to standing distance but everyone observing the 2 metre rule). The end of queue was by the main gates and it took around 20 mins. The timings do vary a bit depending on how long people are spending in the shop but my last few visits have seen a reasonable speed. The longest I've waited was when the queue was almost on to Dog Kennel Hill and that was about 40 mins.

there was a fight in the que today, between the front door and starbucks door there was a massive gap as a man was too busy looking at his phone. An elderly lady pushed in front of him and he went ballistic the abuse he gave this woman was terrible, he called her every name under the sun.


the lady standing in front of me let her go infront of her and when it was her turn to get in the shop one of the staff refused to let her in, they were demanding she go and que up where the traffic lights were. the elderly lady says she can't stand for long, so like a teacher giving a detention the staff mem er tells her you can sit inside for 45 minutes then you can do your shopping when I tell you.


now I've noticed this staff love making mountains out of molehills, they love the sound of their own voice.


The staff ignored the abuse this man gave.

And even a massive looking queue in Bell Green is only 10-15 minutes and then all is good. if you can get there..


I've been to DKH and seen the queue and then gone back up the Lane and seen zero people queueing at Coop and gone there.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By bunnie · Posted

      Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
