Very funny about the garish wedding dresses.

By the way, is Alex S a stooge for the architects? Free public consultation?
Why does N1 get all the good supermarkets while we get shitty Tescos.
Come on share em out!
Because Waitrose and Marks and Spencer do their market research and there are not enough people with enough money around Stroud Green Road to justify opening one. Go figure!
@ andy - have you ever had a Pieminister pie?
Why is everyone down on Tescos? Actually, don't answer that.
I agree it would be great to have a Waitrose and M&S in Seven Sisters Road but where's the parking? All you see is people going to Lidl and heaving carrier bags full of cheap sugar for miles up the pavement.
I use Tesco, but I don't like the name, dislike the stripey corporate branding and hate the colour blue. Any more reasons?
Take today - certain vegetables (all next to each other) have big fat yellow "any 3 for 2" stickers on them. So I pick up 3 different packs of different veggies. Of course the offer doesn't scan through at the check out so I argue with the cashier, who claims that they have to be the same vegetable. I try to explain to her the implication of the word "any" in the offer, eventually give up and leave before I end up hurling my shopping all over her till. I can really see why people lose it in there on a regular basis though. Even the manager is an idiot.
It is an easy target but at least it has a decent selection of what most people living round here want, it can be walked past, to, etc no need to jump in car to get your shopping.
Don’t like it that much then put it out of business by going either to Woody’s, Londis or even the new Cost Cutter !
It also employs a lot of local people, provides a cheap source of food for lots of not very rich local people, has some stuff the richer amongst us might want and did at least bring a much needed free cash machine !
Remember Every little helps !
Ooh, just remembered a fourth machine... in the 'phone booth outside Jai.
We get weekly deliveries from Tesco. It's much easier, and the selection is better online.
It is way better than it used to be not that many years ago. ie closing at 5.29 on the dot every day of the week, not open on a Sunday, a lot smaller although they did have a bigger on site store room so less stock out but a smaller range to choose from than now !
Quiet a few of the staff have worked there for a long time and are very helpful but I guess the issue is all the part timers etc that they have.
I also suspect that the local management doesn’t have much say on really happens on stock out etc as that will be driven logistic supply systems, warehouses and delivery etc.
I am surprised that someone like Sainsbury’s hasn’t bought out Woody’s and turned it into a Local store but I guess that will be because it would find it difficult to compete in price and offer !
