I once checked out the floor space in a Primark and was shocked to discover I couldnt actually move at all, the ground was littered with cheap clothing items apparantly 'new'!

Hi,


This morning at 8am they had no entry signs in the vegetable area as they were scubbing the floor! Given that the store is open 24 hours, my reasoning is that they should scrub at say 01.00 and then mop over at 7.00. Gee the store has really gone downhill! But this may be that they had a Celeb arriving at 09.30 and the idea was to take the subject (after the meet & greet) straight through to the staff canteen - no out of date stock there then!


Also, why is it that the Sainbury's 'Basics' grapes are more expensive than the other type's that are on offer?

Bing bong... thats me gone!

Hi,


It was tried today, but after opening, and some thirty five minutes later it was abandoned as everyone in East Dulwich was heading for the half price legs of lamb. That section was cleared out in less than 20 minutes of opening. Leaving you with the alternative leg of lamb at some 10 -12 pounds more expensive. You also had to follow the sheperds directing you into another isle.


They will try the system again on Wednesday when yes you guessed it, the legs of lamb will be in stock again. It is worthy of note that if you enter the store and sing, they do try to help you to get your shopping and get you to the nearest available checkout quickly. I find it works very well when I sing 'I am a cider drinker', by the Wurzels especially if my eyes are glazed over!


Oh well, I had better go as my carer has just come in.


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

No way to one-way shopping aisles

Sainsbury?s have denied plans to install a one-way system for shoppers on its aisles of its Dog Kennel Hill superstore ? blaming an April Fools' prank.

Rumours had been circulating across East Dulwich with dozens of locals actually looking forward to the system being introduced to reduce congestion at the end of aisles and in busy sections such as the bakery and the butchers.

Suggestions of speed bumps being installed to reduce speeding trolleys and even a congestion charge around the most sought after areas of the East Dulwich store were ruled out by Sainsbury?s.

A spokesman said: ?From Sainsbury?s point of view, there is no truth in the rumour.

?When we heard, it did seem like an exaggerated April Fools day gag.?

Hi,


I guess they gave up that idea but introduced self scan checkouts in a move to move you forward quicker. I have visited three other stores but have not seen a self checkout. I guess East Dulwich is the leader for the future brain dead customer that cannot communicate with a unresponsive cashier.... Bring back the Daleks!

      Fireworks

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      GALA 2026

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
