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.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
