My local one has done this too, cost saving measure perhaps? As in they won't need a dedicated member of staff behind the counter, other than to prepare/rotate the stock - they can be on other shop floor duties.

Has anyone else spotted the extremely odd Smug Dairy products still stubbornly hanging around in the major supermarkets?

I have no idea why any supermarket would want them on their shelves or why anyone would want to buy them. It's the worst of both worlds, with a patronising name to boot.

I hadn't noticed them, but it does sounds rather like something that a no-hoper PM insists upon in The Apprentice might come up with.

50 years since the first Sainsbury's (or indeed any supermarket) petrol station
