Sainsburys

This sainsbury’s is newly remodeled and fully stocked, with currency exchange, clothes, small diner, and complete grocery store. The employees are pleasant. The parking lot is even stranger after they moved the gas station across the street. Seems like they could have slightly reconfigured the way you drive in so that they could put lots of parking by the door rather than off across the internal «street».

Manual scales in place. Funny that the store in Telfiord still uses the electronic scales. 17÷11÷11 Still no sign of the scales returning. They have supposed to have ordered manual scales rather than the previous electronic ones that kept failing. Add to the fact that twice now I have encountered goods wrongly priced: Flowers in a bucket for £5 turned out to be £10 Excuse: Customers putting things in the wrong place. Unfortunately, the argument didn’t hold as there was no bucket marked £10. Half priced batteries was 13.99 for 18, sale price: 6.99. At the till they were 7.99. Excuse: Offer must have ended, but shelf price not updated. If the offer had ended then the price should have come up at 13.99!!! One bonus is that the staff are really helpful and friendly, even if sometimes the excuses used by some are not quite right. Now dropping to to two star. 23÷8÷11
I go away for a couple of weeks’ holiday and return and find that the scales have disappeared at the Redditch store. I am not sure if this is across the whole chain. This is ridiculous. How am I now supposed to get the right loose quantities for a recipe? I have been to customer services and they have said I could get them weighed there, but this would mean getting in a queue each time. Alternatively, bring the whole amount in one go and go backwards and forwards to either return items or get extra items to meet the weight I require. I’m not looking for fancy scales that will print the price and weight, and connect to the store’s database. I just need to be able to put things on a scale and ascertain the weight of the goods. Is that too much to ask? What next? Remove the scales at the deli, fish and meat counters? It was interesting to note that the cashier I asked today didn’t even know that the scales had been removed. So there seems to have been little consultation with the staff. There wasn’t even a notice to explain why they have been moved. I then found out from customer services that they kept breaking down. What this now means that they have reduced the customer service by not providing an obvious tool to the shopper. I think that this may be the start of a trend within supermarket in general.

This was one of the first super markets in Redditch. It’s located just out of the town centre.
I like the quality goods that you tend to get with Sainsbury’s. The good thing that you get at this sainsbury’s is a café that you can get decent food and a cup of tea.
This is a medium sized store which means that it doeant have a comrehensive range of goods as is provide dfor by tesco.
This store does have a tendancy to look dirt. I’m not sure if that is the case or if it’s due to the poor lighting.
With the presence of Tesco on Redditch now, I’m not sure if there really is need for this sore now!

This Sainsburys is not to bad compared to some, The car park is a pain however with a stupid one way system and you can never seem to park near the door if its raining
They have quite a good selection and bakery is quite good along with a fairly large cheese counter,
They have a small non food section.
The staff all seem to have some kind of attitude however and the store never seems to be very clean.
There is a bus service from the town centre to here and if you are feeling fit you can walk to it.

An average sized Sainsburys that does not sell adults clothing but does have a small range of childrens clothes. The aisles are wide and it is easy to get round the store. The service at the fresh meat, fish and deli counters is great and the staff here are always able to offer advice about what to do with differnt products. The grocery sections are normally well stocked. The store is clean and tidy. Its easy to park as well.

This is a medium sized sainsbury, they have a small kids clothes section, but non for adults, a small electrical section, they do sell adults jewellery. The bakery does some nice cookies. It has some home stuff e.g. vases, cushions etc.
They staff are generally very friendly and gelfpul, although i find prices compared to tesco and morrisons more expensive!
