Why is it
when I try and shop at my local Sainsbury’s the aisles are often blocked by
enormous ‘on-line’ shopping trolleys, making it impossible to reach what I
need, so that I feel, as a visiting customer, I am secondary to the online
shoppers? Yet when I shop at my local Tesco I have never even glimpsed an
‘on-line’ shopping trolley, which is great. How do they manage to fulfil the
online orders unnoticed – invisible elves perhaps?
Why do many
supermarkets insist on chucking their reduced label items in a big heap, so
that I feel like I am rummaging at a Jumble Sale? They may have had to reduce
them as they are at their ‘sell by’ date, but surely they would still prefer to
sell them, rather than throw them away, so why not display them better?
Happily, I can report that my local Sainsbury’s has now adopted a new system.
Items carrying a reduced sticker are displayed on the original shelves next to
their original priced counterparts, with the price reduction facing outwards for
all to see – a much better system.
Despite
Aldi products earning much acclaim, I have yet to try many of the much talked
about items. The reason? My nearest Aldi is about as welcoming as a miser’s hovel. Are all branches like this? I know the Aldi experience is supposed to be
about value for money products, but I’d like to actually feel vaguely
comfortable walking round the store and have more than one choice of each
product.
I’ve never
ventured into a Lidl or Netto either – there are no branches particularly local
to me. Perhaps you’d like to tell me your thoughts about them, email comments@shoppersjoy.co.uk
