"There was a group of us wanting to go in at 4.50 on a Sunday afternoon, but they refused with the excuse that there were too many people in the store. This was simply untrue - they just wanted to get off early. That's fine - but then change your stated closing time to 4.50 - and don't mess your customers around and lie to them."

"Really poor management; 1. They now close the half of self-service check out when there is only 1 staff member to staff them. 2. The checkout staff are asking to look in customers' bags due to thefts. Not even sure that's legal. 3. Horrendous queues during peak hours with no tills being opened to accommodate. 4. Prices on a lot of items are now cheaper elsewhere due to their huge price hiking. 5. Homeless camp permanently outside and growing by the day. 6. Just one security staff member for the entire store whist every other supermarket has at least two. 7. Most fresh produce have poor use by dates. Shop sparingly here now, and I now avoid this stressful shop as much as possible."

"Not busy in store at all at 10am on a Monday morning. Definitely Easter is the next national holiday as that's probably reason for the extra pallet loads of Easter eggs in store. The size and/or number of homeless people and piles of duvets seems to be bigger every week."

"Excellent pricing and open until 10pm march which makes a big difference, especially if you're busy. A wide selection as you'd expect, the store suffers from being too small for just how busy it always is no matter what time you go. But the new self service tills makes things a lot better. The highest point is the alcohol selection is knock out."
