As SY thinks Tesco's are so great. Vote.

you missed morrisons

I don't think Tesco's are great, I just used to work for them. They are quite good though.

And Lidl. Though Tesco's is the best. I normally do tesco online shopping, or get one of my housemates to drive me to tesco extra. You can't beat tesco's, asda is the only competition and there isn't one near me.

For dinner when it's coming out of my parent's pockets, Waitrose. When I'm hungry and want something to eat at lunch time, Tesco.

Only posh middle aged women shop at Waitrose, didn't you know that Boeta?

Not in the one I go in, there's never anyone in there. It's about two minutes away from my mate's house (and incidentally Jase's) which I get some sandwiches in before we go and play Pro Evo and whatever. It's a Tesco Express, not a big one mind.

Sorry, Never heard of them till last week. What was it called before?

I meant Waitrose. Doh. Proper people shop at Tesco, posh people shop at Waitrose.

I didn't mean it in a stressy way, boss.  :wink:

I use the Co-op, because although they've got O*frod in the name......they do sell STFC stuff and  have done a deal or 2 with the club and have stickers plastered over some seats in the Arkells.

 Plus they have ethical policies on trade and animal welfare etc, and as a member I get a vote in who's elected to run it.

morrisons took over safeway

Whether posh people shop there or not doesnt matter. Waitrose is the best.

ooooh, Spencer White is a middle class, Daily Mail reading, Tory voting posh motherfucker!

Guess I must be.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick

Why hasnt Didcot got a Waitrose yet? Thats what I demand to know.

Theres one thing I cant have though, I have never and will never buy the Mail or the Express. The two most boring papers of all time. I used to read all the tabloids on my paper round years ago and the Dailly Mail ran the same front cover every saturday.

I buy four different papers. The Sun, especially mondays for the football. The Star during the week because its a bit of fun, loads of nice birds, virtually no real news and soccer shots. Saturdays I buy the sport to take to the pub, once a week is just about right. Then the Times if there is actually something in the news that interests me or if Im off work and have some time.

I'm middle class, Times reading, yet to vote, and like Waitrose food. http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif

Co-op for me becuase they serve alcohol to minors  :D

You use the one in Abingdon then? They charge you to park there. Fucking rich bastards.

As for papers, I read The Sun if I'm bored and The Times if I want to read the news. I find both papers quite good for sport.

I shop at Asda and Tescos and read the Sun ,News of The World  and now and then The Gaurdian.

I dont know mate, I dont shop at Waitrose.   :ha

Damn you.

OMG - SUPERMARKETS!

I'm Art Editor of The Grocer magazine, so all day at work I've been designing this weeks issue. This involves a lot of pictures of Supermarkets and putting the journalists copy on page - which is also all about supermarkets.

I get home, come on here, and you've got a bloody thread started about supermarkets!

I can't get away from the bloody things  :?

So Sonicyouth, are you a secret Waitrose shopper?

Nothing to be ashamed of mate, like I said they are the best.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick

i think SY has been outed as a closet waitrose shopper

In the words of Ty, "I still shop at Tesco".

Tescos for me.  Go in, order a pizza get them to cook it while I shop, collect it on the way out with a packet of smokes for the weekend and away I go.

Meaty and smoooth

I voted for Sainsburys because I work there and get 15% off. Other than that, I hate it and it stupidly underpays and is overpriced

tescos is the daddy

Sorry Dude.  :roll:  Add are poll to your issue.

the results of the football fan supermarkets, stick that on the front cover, you'll sell millions

Could suggest it to the editor (but won't as I kinda like my job!). Maybe Sonic could write a story about working for Tesco and DMR could provide a nice picture for the story.. Or maybe not Dave, eh!

We did do a feature on Non-Food at Sainsbury's in Chippenham a while back, a very informative and insightful look at the future of retailing in the UK..... the store had been spruced up to accomodate more Non-food items... I sent a photographer to capture the magic of Chippenham.. But he couldn't find any
 :D

I'd gladly write a piece about working at Tesco, but I doubt it'd be printable due to bad language and libel.

Although I shop there now, I'll never forget the 6am Saturday, and 7am Sunday starts to stack the bread when I was a student. Proper shite for £4.50 an hour in old money  :-))(

Now that's just wrong. Went in the Swindon one yesterday with me Mum, it's a right dump in there. The odd thing is the staff all look exactly the same as they do in Abingdon.

Thanks Si.

Oooooh the memories darling! (Dale voice)!

"The Nation's most popular shopping game"

Possibly the only one as well!

'bruce's price is right' was another fantastic gameshow related to shopping (not in a strict sense)

Asda's alright, tesco's stressed me out too much pre-Christmas, almost had a tantrum in there, all these old slags getting in my way, talking in the middle of the aisle, walking at 0.5 kmph, pissed me off big time.  I just had to get out of there.

my favourite in hong kong is Park 'n' Shop, which is strange because generally you can't drive to any of them.
they stock a lot of waitrose stuff though which keeps me alive.
i tend to steer clear of the steamed chicken's feet and boiled cow stomach.

"Steamed chicken's feet?"

You seen me in a sauna?   :shock:

ASDA for me as its not far from my house and is cheap as fuck.

Shame about the pikeys that shop/work there though. The plus side of that is it can be a good place to do some chav spotting

Imagine working there and it's ten times worse. Christmas was horrible :|

I worked in a supermarket about 10 years ago, never again.  Never realised people (usually women) got so stressed if we ran out of a certain brand of soap or something.

Not just women though, old men are just as bad. We ran out of 32 packs of paracetamol for awhile and this fella came up and ask for some, I politely told him we'd sold out of packs of 32 but he can go and pick up two packs of 16 for exactly the same price. He went off on one and had a right go at me for it, so I just walked off.

Some people are mental.

guys u missed buggens! its great! food is cheap (and also shit) :D

"some people are mental" SY

Some people are just stupid.  I hate customer facing roles, not paid great a lot of stress about nothing.
