Co-operative Food

I was totally humiliated at this store today when the "assistant Manager" refused to sell me alcohol because I had my 14 year old daughter with me who didn't have any ID with her! She obviously doesnt carry ID at her age. He said that he didn't like the way we were both staring for a long period of time into the drinks fridge.
The reason I was starting for a while was - 1. I was tring to read the small print on what was on "offer" ans 2. I was looking to see what I wanted to but for MYSELF for the evening. My daughter was only looking at the same time as she was shopping with me. I asked him if he was questioning my ability to be a good parent as she was onyl 14 I would certainly wouldn't be giving her alcohol. He said that she didn't look 14 and that it was also down to what I was trying to buy - fruit Cider!
To say I was mortified as there were other people waiting to be served is an understatement. He said I could speak with the Manager but she would say the same thing. The very same person has served me only a couple of weeks before whilst I was shopping with the same daughter and I bought 2 bottle of WKD which were on offer in the store (which I did mention to him). I appreciate that they can't be too careful with underage drinkers, but I am a responsible parent and the inconsistency of this is worrying. It goes without syaing that I will no longer be visiting this store and will, like today, go to Tesco and buy what I need in future. After only moving to this area recently I wonder if this is how other people will reat us when we are shpooing together.

Very average co-op with mediocre choice of goods

Constantly accusing people of stealing... when they haven’t.

There’s a few jobsworths who work here, who seem to wanna be part of the MI5 or something. Several times now I’ve witnessed people getting their bags searched by a member of staff who isn’t even security. One employee snatched this girls bag off of her (which I’m sure had some very personal items in it) and proceeded to dump her items on the floor in search for a pack of chocolate buttons or something, humiliating her in front of everyone. Obviously nothing was found by the deluded individual who wanted to be the next Sherlock Holmes, and he stormed off in a tantrum when he realised he was wrong... not for the first time. There’s much better stores in the area so I advise you shop at them instead. It’s only a matter of time before you get interrogated over allegedly stealing an egg.

Went in as my son was ill in the car.
Lady behind the till was amazing.
Helped me get everything I needed and even gave me some anti bac gel after i finished cleaning it up.
Great service
Thank you

Co-op on the main street. Quite well stocked, but slow service when I attended

Friendly staff , well priced and local

Stock is poor tried to pop in more then once and they had either run out or had a poor substitute
