Yet another Morrisons thread

[Square Eyes]

Nice to hear your experiences Phil. Let's get some of the old guard returning to the Morrisons thread.

The other thing that get's me about the cafe, is the weird table / chair combi things they have. They're an all in one kind of unit, so as the chair isn't independent to the table you can't pull it up any nearer. Probably says something of their clientel that they can't be trusted with chairs.

However, I am liking the cunning way they allow you to discretely hide your tray in a slot underneath the table. That is GENIUS. I dislike having to return my tray once settled in at the table, primed to indulge myself in Morrisons finest cuisine.

Is it wrong my local Morrisons café still have the "Smoking Permitted" and "No smoking in this area" signage up both hanging from the ceiling and on the table menu holders?

Surely in a Morrisons cafe smoking would have been mandatory?

I'd spark up a stogie and point upwards at the sign when approached by wailing customers and staff.

Just to add - I love how Morrisons permanently have a member of staff manning their revolutionary banana-hanging station, usually stood behind it rotating the holders every so often. You can always be sure of a well stocked banana section when you visit Morrisons.

Ah, but they have Smoke Free England Regs signage at the door saying "It is against the law to smoke in this building", I don't think you'd get away with that.

Hate to tell you, but the banana displays are being scrapped as part of their attemps to modernise.

Are they really??! My local morrisons has just had 2 million quid spent on it and is now double the size and looking rather spiffy! We even have a new cafe with pine panelling and silver lettering - very modern. And we have a nice new banana hanging station, usually complete with 2 members of staff stood behind it.

Oh how we are treated around these parts!

That's a shame, Morrisons have always liked a well hung banana.

That said, it seems a bit pointless that individual bunches of bananas are weighed and priced by an operative behind the wire banana hanging station when all the other produce is weighed at the checkout. No ?

The cafe menu is amazing!!! Morrisons' Famous Big Breakfast... yum! Except I swap the mushrooms for an extra hash brown - always makes me smile how they have a little chart behind the till stating what items can be swapped for what.

I do like there cafe, but Tesco beat them just because you can get items for 40p, and most of there breakfast is fixed but there don't tell you unless you swap, but how can beans cost more!

Anyways least with morrisons there do have Full Scottish version as well, strangely you can get haggis in the staff cafe but not in the public one....
