Anyone been to this place???

Been a couple of times before, never again.

What a sthole.

I would rather rake through next doors bins than go there again.

Its filthy, cold, and staffed by what i can only imagine is some form of breeding ground to prove the missing link theory.

If the heating is buggered, my suggestion would be to provide heat by burning it down.

Had a crappy one near where I used to live, Nothing wrong with the all singing all dancing store, it was the mouth breathers who worked there.

Story was that they only got planning permission on the basis they hire from the local unemployed scrotes clogging up the benefits for the area. Half of them didn't look like they wanted to be working.

I live not far from there so used to go regularly.

The chav element, lack of basic produce and general cack-ness of the place put me off.

I go to Asda now. The chav element is still there (in abundance) but at least they have actual food on the shelves and it's cheaper...

BTW - why can no-one in a supermarket drive a frickin' trolley?

If one more person stops dead in front of me, leaves it poking across the aisle whilst they're choosing between two bits of chicken or stands in the main aisle talking to their mates on a Saturday afternoon there'll be a Lonsdale bloodbath mad

One word: Morrisons.

I would say that, as I work there, but even as a customer I can say it makes Tesco look st. Our nearest Tesco has never got anything on the shelves that is of importance: no steak pies, piss poor selection of beer) and there's never anyone around.
If we don't have pies on the shelf at Morrisons we simply cook more for you, there and then.

I live next to both a Tesco & a Waitrose. I like to shop in Waitrose to feel important & that, what, what, what. biggrin

I've got my stab proof vest for Tesco's, best go there 1-2 in the morning and check the shoppers out. Bunch of space raiders! Ooooh look it moved etc hehe

Netto: No way

The Wolverton Supermarket: Never heard of it, but guessing its not likely to trouble Harrods.

Farmfoods: I would rather eat my dog

The Agora: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Never been in, but guessing i wont get cream tea and a scone from there- It appears to be open air, yet populated by those that were clearly oxygen starved at some stage (ie, birth)


Back to Waitrose in Buckingham from now on, even if i am on a tight deadline

The bloody Shell station with an offering from Marks & Spencers leaves Tesco for dead, and that is a 100th of the size.

Never, ever again.

Waitrose for me, love the food, the service is very good and the stores are easy to get round without reduciing myself to trolley rage.

The Agora is still there?? Jeez
Used to own an Off Licence on Wolverton Road fairly near to the Agora back in the 80's. what a dump it was.
