GC and I were chatting today and both of us have had bad experiences with Tesco lately. Do you shop there and are you impressed? If not where do you go instead?

I find Sainsbury's expensive, and they hardly ever have anything new. They concentrate heavily on their own brand stuff.

I do go to Sainsbury's occasionally as we have one of those little local ones that stays open late.

Asda is quite good though sometimes runs out of the item you only went there in the first place for!! Morrisons is quite twee too - you can buy half portions ie Melon - handy if on a budget or an old fogey!

It's cheap but the fruit and veg goes off quick. 'You get what you pay for'.

I don't really like Sainsburys because of the reasons Smurfy listed and because they are so smug. I too have had bad experiences of Tesco in recent years. In our huge one on the edge of town, the staff are very dimissive of the customers and despite its size, the shelves are often half empty.

I like Tesco generally and will continue to shop there, however I do find their customer services annoying.

I shop at Morrisons because it's the only one close to me. Much prefer Asda though, they have a nice range of products.

What annoys me about all supermarkets is that they stay open until 10 or 12 at night, but half the time they've run out of everything by about 8!
