Shopping Experience

Pros:

  • "I always do a smart shop as checkout is much slicker and we like not having to wait in a queue."
  • "And very quiet on a weekday evening."
  • "The self service tills have improved, with the Smart Shopping app making shopping a doddle, if you can remember to scan and bag as you go around."

  • "Waited ages at cafe to be served one person on orders n one on coffee machine need more on when busy."
  • "At the checkout, I feel there aren't enough staff, or the level is poorly managed and more often than not, there are more than two people ahead of me."
  • "Seriously need to sort the security out that's on the doors."
