If there were more options then I'd never come here, as there are no like-for-like competitors in the area. It's the most expensive Sainsbury's I've frequented with prices inflated about 20% more than shopping online, give or take.

The staff are also rude and run on a God Complex. The shop never fails to be full of trolleys and staff stacked the boxes so aggressively they tumbled down on customers, as they were passing.

Sainsbury's needs to review the management in this shop because whoever runs it will probably sink the business if a competitor moves in.

This place is dreadful! They are constantly out of stock or selling spoiled goods. The staff all speak over their Bluetooth headsets in their native tongue which is unnerving. Sainsbury's must have some kind of monopoly over this area as I would rather go to any other store if one were available.

I was very impressed with this store.. It was well stocked with good varieties of most stuff.. The checkout was quick and there are several machines to aid. Many people visit the store and that proves how high value it is.

a small assortment. there are no eggs sugar flour constantly . baking bread is not enough empty shelves every day . the frequency tags do not match

It's bad ... the only good thing is its opening hours. For such a small shop, they always seem overstaffed; everyone seems to be running around everywhere but where their assistance is needed. Their machines don't work properly and anytime you need them to scan/approve articles you literally have to look for them throughout the shop and ask them to come to you while Tesco allows the person at the till to approve purchases from a distance and most shops have one person standing near the tills to help when needed. This one never does.

The attitudes are surprisingly colloquial for a workplace, it often feels like a school ... Security is often on their phones and don't look like they'd be of much help if anything happened.

It feels as if they're doing us a favor by being there ... you're being paid, it's your job! Work ethic please ....

Sainsbury’s is the worse! Do not invest in this “local business”. Never anything stocked, unreasonably priced, and that stupid orange colour - blehhh - Tescos, Waitrose or M&S anyone is better!

They give fake notes and act like they didn’t. When you confront them, they become very aggressive and after they looked at the cameras are handed me a new £5 I told them they could keep it after treating me like I was the one lying and telling me that they were gonna call the police
