My nearest Sainsbury's has finally scrapped the segregation of baskets and trollies from the self checkouts with new signs indicating that the basket only tills are now for lighter shops and the trolley only tills are now for heavy shops. Staff never implemented the basket/trolley only rules in the ...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
West London is something of an Aldi desert - Lidl have stores in Acton, Hammersmith and She Bu (and have for ages). Leytonstone's Matalan closed recently and seems like it's going to be half M&S Food; half Aldi, though the council have longer-term ambitions to turn it into housing. In Sydenham,...

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread
Anyone know what sort of pay people get with Deliveroo and the rest? I guess it must be worth it but I couldn’t be arsed.

Re: The Very Official McDonalds (and other fast food outlets) Thread

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Someone had posted a branded poster on Twitter mentioning Cash Only, but it was clearly one from a previous incident as it also claimed that SmartShop was working when it wasn't.

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Credit to my nearest Sainsbury's for the detailed information. https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Martin%20Phillp/GIzL-9LWEAAee-t.jpg The self-checkouts were open, although I did notice when I scanned my Nectar card that the till froze for around 10-15 seconds, but was accepted and got Nectar prices on a ...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Due to an overnight software update, Sainsbury's aren't able to accept contactless payments, which is affecting online delivery orders as well as in-store contactless payment. SmartShop is also down according to customer reports on social media with some stores only accepting cash. However they're s...
