Co-op Food - Liverpool - Lark Lane

"Absolutely shocking customer service. The majority of staff are rude and short with you and seem as though they’d be willing to do anything else other than be kind and polite to their customers. I had a man on the till who wouldn’t sell me an alcohol free cider because there was a trace in the drink, which was under 0.05%. Since moving to the area in December, I have never once had a nice experience in this store, not even a smile from staff who aren’t wearing their masks. Very disappointed in the poor service from this particular store."

"Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the store security guard who shouted profanities at me and my friend because we asked if we could enter the store and he didn't hear us as we had masks on. The law requires everyone to wear a mask. He followed us down the aisle shouting "don't get smart with me" because we tried to walk away. What kind of store hires a bully as a security guard? This sad man needs some serious training if he thinks he can continue being a security guard. Formal complaints have been made. There is NO excuse for this type of behaviour. Idiot."

"Very sad to see family run places closed down, but good to have some amenities for locals and not just nightlife. Bigger than a corner shop, but tiny as supermarkets go. Large alcohol section, small selection of fresh food: veg, meat & fish (v small, don't count on finding something specific), dairy, ready meals, sandwiches, flowers, surprisingly large fresh bakery with lots of specialty bread. A larger section of store cupboard items."

"A bit more expensive than the other shops around the area but it's open dependable hours and has a decent selection of food and drink, also has a free cash machine inside (the closest cash point to Sefton Park). Nice big chiller for beer and wine if you're off for a day in the park and want a cold drink and while it may be a little dearer than the tesco on Aigburth Road, it's a lot cheaper than the prices they charge at the festival style events in the park"

"A welcome addition to Lark Lane, even if it has been at the expense of some of the more traditional family run stores (especially Lark Lane News). They know exactly who their local customer base is, so expect lots of overpriced niche products hidden among the essentials. The store has a free cash machine inside too."
