Can't complain about the staff or customer service in our local Tesco. Wont buy my veg there because it doesn't keep long.

I like Aldi for veg, good prices and they keep well but they don't seem to hold a lot of stock so you have to get there early.

I used to like Safeway years ago, big variety and their fruit and veg were good. Don't know what happened to them in the later years, quality and variety went down hill. They went from being nearly on par with Sainsburys to more like Kwik Save without the low prices :-| :-(

i always shopped in waitrose when i lived in kent
i really missed it when i come back home to live

now its asda morrisons and Lidl

Again the Tesco we use has very good customer service and most of the check out staff are very pleasant. Not so keen on the other, older Tesco in the area.

Lidl is much better on fruit and veg than Aldi.

I hardly ever use Tesco and Sainsbury but quite like Morrison for old f*rt shopping like split peas and things. Don;t like Asda and will use Waitrose occasionally.

Ocado is the delivery arm of Waitrose I think but there are Waitrose delivery vans as well. Confused again!

Hi Merlin - yes and no! He's a Eurasier, which is a recognised breed, but a fairly recent one, 'made' from Chow, Wolf Spitz (now defunct I think) and a bit of Samoyed :-)

Everyone is lovely at our local Tesco and of course Waitrose is wondeful but there is a big, independant supermarket I use sometimes near us and although everyone seems very happy there most of the veg is not very good. I'm just taking back a bag of potatoes because every one, when peeled, was bruised and black. Yuck!!! A friend made me laugh when she said that the veg goes rotten before you get to the checkout!
Having said that, I've taken Tesco Finest beef back several times because it was really tough and the customer service lady said they'd had lots of complaints about it. I find Tesco's veg to be good.

Sheila, Is that a "Chow" in the picture?

Yes, depends on area! Our smallish Asda in the town centre is really good for fruit and veg. Local Tesco customer 'service' is dire, and their checkout staff very surly. Of the 2 local Sainsburys, the nearer, larger, newer one is not nearly so good as the smaller one a bit further away.

I use both Waitrose and Tesco, The trouble with Tesco is the "YOYO" system of pricing (They take the mickey out of customers) But I must admit that I prefer Waitrose,a bit more expensive yes,but the quality is good.**M**.

I have no complaints about the fruit and veg in the Tesco we go to but was not that impressed by the Asda. So, as (I think) Rose said it depends on the area.

I find my local co-op has much better fruit and veg than Asda, and has some really good special offers so I guess it is very dependent on area. Some things are more expensive but overall it probably balances up :-)

waitrose is expensive tho isnt it, but excellent quality products,


morrisons should loose for there toilets, the ones near us are vile x

on customer service/freshness of supplies/special offers, customer satisfaction, etc etc.

Waitrose came first , followed by Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Aldi, trailing behind were Morrisons, Asda, Sainsbury. Co-Op, and Tesco - Tesco were second bottom followed only by an on line only store Oroco or similar.
