Month-long refit

[Sarah No. 1]

Good was well in need of TLC.

[DulwichFox]

Would make a great 80 seater restaurant..

20 Tables 10 metres apart with huge screens..

The staff are all on a well deserved holiday for a month while the work is being done.

I hope they are all still getting paid.

[Jules-and-Boo]

considering they all seemed completely happy about it, I would say so :-)

[ED - NAGAIUTB]

How many refits has this place had over the last 5 years?

This is the third?

[Jules-and-Boo]

I think is a complete overhaul. It?s a fab place so we?re looking forward to it.

Currently having to do the odd shop is Marks which isn?t ideal

[DulwichFox]

M&S has been a lot busier since Co-op closed.. Long Queue this lunchtime despite being Freezing cold.

M&S well stocked. They had Sold out of Wagyu Beef despite the high price.

Have yet to try.

Blimey, things are getting serious if M&S have run out of Wagyu beef... (me neither)

I've lived in ED since 1996 and I think that shop has had three re-fits in that time. So not all that frequent. The most recent one was definitely more than five years ago.

Yes, they were giving away vouchers in Lordship Lane to spend in the store. I think they were a fiver.

When we went in, there was somebody - apparently from head office - telling customers what wonderful new things there were to buy.

We couldn't see anything that looked either new or wonderful, so we used our vouchers and left 🤣

I hope they are all still getting paid...Used to shop at that co-op and more often do little shops at the Forest Hill rd shop. As I became less mobile and had to use both crutches I always found the staff very helpful and happy to ho the extra mile e.g.at The Lordhop lane shop someone wd take my trolley around the corner and pack it into car boot. Hope ths means that they are happy in thier work as treated well.

Is the co-op really not making any use of them at all elsewhere?

[Jules-and-Boo]

Apparently not. And good for them

Yes indeed, cant wait to see what they do

[Bic Basher]

I had a leaflet through the door today telling me that it reopens on Friday.

[DulwichFox]

Cannot wait for the Co-op to reopen..

It will hopefully reduce the queues at M&S

Although that is likely to be temporary as The Co-op returns to its usual level of service.

[DulwichFox]

Went to the New Co-op today.. Very Nice...

However one aisle has a big bucket with *** Warning *** Wet Floor.

So keeping up with the Tradition of having leaks (Through the Ceiling ??)

I'll give it 3 months before it gets back to normal.

I'm completely unsurprised that your biggest takeaway from the new fit out of the shop is there's a wet floor sign. I imagine you were only saying you couldn't wait to for the Co-op to reopen just so you can whinge about it.

The new fit out is very nice. Much more spacious at the front of the shop. The rearrangement of the floor seems to have given them more shelf space as there's products there I haven't seen before.

Good effort overall and nice work done by those who carried out the refitting.

[Cora]

But they've taken the great self service tills out....the ones that don't beep every 2 minutes as you try to balance your shopping....

[Frankito]

Aren?t you whinging about him whinging....? Oh the irony of it all!

But my goodness he does whinge. Nothing seems to please the man. Always moaning. Always griping. Shame he can't remove that dreadful tea towel from his glazed front door. Unsightly.

Criticise people?s behaviour or attitudes on here, fair enough.

But personal specific attacks based on how someone chooses to live their life the way you have done are out of order.

Don?t be a dick.
