Tesco

hmmm when it was just esso petrol st it was cool but now its an express chaos ! its always crowded and never has enough people on the tills. theres hardly any food stock and what they do hav is usually out of date! there always sum kind of incident ive seen the police there more than twice and whose gr8 idea was it to add the tesco??? because now i find that the long que of cars blocking the outside and on to the main road is due to people getting petrol but doing the shopping also! put it back to esso petrol station it was open 24hrs then and was’nt a nightmare

I wouldn’t normally review a supermarket, but after several bad experiences here I felt compelled to do so.
It’s a small store attached to an Esso petrol station, with a cash machine. Their product range (depending on the time of day) includes basic groceries and household items, fresh fruit and veg (but no herbs), bakery, beer and wine.
Now, onto things that annoy/​entertain me about this place:
1. Although it officially closes at 11pm, they always try and shut it at about quarter to. This usually results in a small crowd outside trying to storm the building.
2. It took me about 3 months to discover that they have two sections for coffee — one for instant and one for freshly ground. Why organise your store in that way?
3. By the evening, you can guarantee they will have run out of just the item you went in for. They especially enjoy playing the infuriating game of, let’s have just one of these 2-​for-​1 items left on the shelf.
4. The dismal selection of wine, sold at weird price levels.
So, it’s convenient if you live right by it, but it’s definitely worth venturing further to any of the far better-​stocked supermarkets in Brixton or Tulse Hill.
