Tesco Express

The routes into the store are very busy at lunch time and peak times. It's a nightmare.

Good store but car park is too small. Big store inside but some shelves look empty. Avoid this store at peek times. Good place for a quick stop.

Parking is farcical. It's the Tesco equivalent of a corner shop, where the prices are not dissimilar. I only go there when all else fails.
In essence, it is badly located, badly thought out(If at all).
It's only saving graces are the ATM and its proximity to the Gregg.

My son went to enter Pencoed Tesco Sunday evening while I was in the car to be questioned as to where his mask was . My son who is an asthmatic and has an exemption card doesn’t have to use a mask. He didn’t have his card on him and felt very awkward and then didn’t want to go back into the shop . I went and spoke to the man as I’m sure the law is that you are unable to challenge someone as to where their masks are etc. He replied that most of the young children try to enter the store without masks etc. I explained he wasn’t meant to challenge anyone by law I after this will never shop in the Pencoed store ever again . The fact that this man challenged him in such a way that he felt awkward and singled out is inappropriate.

Rude staff. Wasn't aloud in with my mum as they assumed I was over 16 and sent me back to the boiling hot car when my mum questioned the boy he responded with "if you carry on you won't be allowed in either". The problem wasn't that I couldn't go in it was that others around my age were allowed in and I was allowed in the day before. They need to make sure all staff know the correct rules that are on the official website.

Staff are fantastic, always friendly and helpful, even though they are understaffed, and trying to get every customer taken care of. I think they need additional staff in the shop.

Not enough parking. stupid place for a tesco

Must have been a brown envelope to the Bridgend council planning department to create this shambles. Carpark designed by someone obviously on drugs, has a tenancy to cause traffic jams in what is essentially a small village. Never any fresh bakery goods available at a time you'd actually want to buy them. All in all OK to grab a few bits out of desperation (in other words if the CO-OP is shut) but best avoided.
