Sainsburys DKH rubbish at customer service

Hello all, I want to get something off my chest, regarding the largest store in ED


ON Wednesday 8th December, a vulnerable neighbour of mine went into Sainsbury's, purchased her trolly of food, normal stuff as she is in there a lot. She paid for her food and started walking away from thew till. She noticed she had a number of her credit/debit and membership cards in her hand, so she stopped outside the cafe there and started looking for her purse. BINGO, she could not find it. She went back to the till, to look around, and even ask the cashier, but no luck. On the following day, she asked if I go to the store with her, and confessed she had over ?200 in the purse at the time (Xmas money). We went to the store, and the lady made a beeline to security but was referred to customer service. We spoke to customer service, and informed her what had happened, she checked their computer system, and nothing had been handed in. We asked if we could look at the camera footage, so the lady could pinpoint what happened. We were asked for the receipt, which was provided, and told because of data protection, we could not, but security could. we were asked to complete our shopping and return back. We returned back to security and were told the lady was seen putting the purse back into her bag after leaving the till. We knew this was incorrect, and asked a different staff member to speak to a manager. Several minutes later, the staff member informed us the manager was in a meeting but prepared to talk on his mobile phone. We explained what had happened, and was advised she would call on Friday morning. Friday morning came and went, and nothing. We called customer services on Saturday and was told a manager would contact us. We did get a call a few hours later, but none of the information supplied to customer services was passed onto him, so we made another long description. we told the manager we did not hold the store at fault but wanted to know what exactly happened in the store. was she picked pocketed, did she drop the purse, was the purse left on the side. we agreed the manager would call back Monday, even if there was no update, the store failed to call back again, anyone have any suggestions at to what to do next?

Dear Trinidad


Sorry to hear about your neighbour.


I had a look online and there is a similar case to yours. They only keep the footage for 31 days so this would need to be resolved before then otherwise the footage will be destroyed.

thank you for this, it looks like I would need to submit a subject access request, I will contact customer service again on how to do this. I also feel like raising this as an official complaint, but doubt this would go anywhere. It's funny, but I somehow placed Sainsbury's in very high esteem, but clearly, they don't care about customers, especially vulnerable ones who use their stores. I am actually now considering using alternative supermarkets. It's clear they don't return calls.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
