Sainsbury's Local

"Had an absolutely delightful conversation with one of your staff (possibly Taga?) about mini eggs - it was my first time ever trying them and she was very excited for me. Just wanted to thank her for her encouragement and enthusiasm - I have now eaten the mini eggs and my life will never be the same again (and yes, I did break open that second bag. Thank you Taga for the recommendation of getting two)."

"The man was so helpful. Being from the US I was struggling a bit to find everything I needed, due to unfamiliar brands and packaging, and he was right on top of it. I left with everything I came for."

"Worst customer service ever! I'm 32, and was never asked for ID there as in a regular customer, but one of the staff members suddenly decided to. I didn't have it on me as I have never been asked it there and I shop there almost every day. So she refused to sell me alcohol, even after I told her my DOB, and showed her a photo of my passport! Never shopping there again, as you gotta have a bit of common sense and humanity."

"I think it must be the smallest Sainsbury's Local in the whole UK. Friendly and helpful staff. Just essential things, nothing more. It's hard to find cold drinks in the hot summer weekends when people from outside the Richmond come along and buy everything before making picnic on the riverside."

"Genuinely the smallest Sainsbury’s I’ve ever seen (or any supermarket, for that matter). But a great place to go for short-notice small shops, like milk, fruit, bread, wine, toiletries, Marmite, etc, especially since the opening hours are very good. They’ve also got a small selection of things you could actually make into a proper meal (pasta & sauces, curry ingredients & sauces, fish & meat to cook, etc), but don’t have high expectations: the selection is very limited. Still, perfectly happy to have it in the neighbourhood."
