Morrinsons

[GROWLER]

New revamped store just fully opened up, but they can't hide their dreadful ignorant munting staff behind those freshly wallpapered cracks, and what is it about the customers they seem to attract too?
I'd swear every Ricky Tomlinson look alike and his wife was in there this morning, with their elastcated pale grey tacky tracky bottoms and bloody sandals partly hiding those wooly white socks.
Get your yellow tainted beards cleaned up and or removed too, you gross looking slobs.

I was ashamed to be a Morrisons shopper this morning.

They'd run out FFS!

[GROWLER]

Two of their vegatable display staff....how bloody apt....just stood in front of the mushrooms....how apt...talking about prostitutes!
I had to literaly get hold of his trolley and fling it to one side to get to them.
He just glared at me as though I'd done something wrong as I casually muttered under me breath, soft shite.

[Nick]

Your need for mushrooms was that urgent eh?

[Just One More]

I know exactly where you're coming from Growler. My nearest supermarket is a Morrisons, of all the supermarkets I've used, Morrisons bread (and pies   ) are vastly superior to any others. And you were right about Christmas cake thing, we've polished off a couple in the past few weeks. A colleague once said, "never go in on a Saturday lunch-time, it's chav-city"... so I did, she was right, I won't do it again

Great. Guess where TG is being dragged to in the next hour.

  You won't catch me in a supermarket ~ life is too short.

We used to get Tesco to deliver all our stuff when we lived in the UK... why go to the shops with all the chavs...? 

[Snoopy]

My point exactly ~ I don't mind specialist shops, butcher, baker (with or without trainsets) etc are fine. They sell good products and they know what they are talking about but supermarkets are a pain in the rear. They are often no cheaper and shopping there takes hours.

Order by internet and let them deliver ~ we reduced our food bill considerably by doing this. No petrol costs, no "impulse" buying, no "I wants" from the kids, no agro with stupid people who stand in your way, no silly youths trying to pack for you. In short 30 mins on the PC and the following day Gupta or his mate Rhanji turns up at the front door with all we need. I don't even have to carry the stuff.

We used to get loads of free stuff from Tesco too... They'd invariably deliver stuff we hadn't ordered and then couldn't take it back in case we'd poisoned it or something...

Also true BM, we have received many items we have not paid for.. One tip ~ some people (my inlaws for example) are convinced that home delivery is a way to shift anything close to its sell by date off onto the home shopper ~ NOT SO. Most of what is sent out has never even reached the shop floor but to be certain I always ask for a mid-morning delivery. That way all the sell by date stuff has already been snatched uo by the grannies who queue to get at it and you get stuff fresh off the day's restocks.

[Bar Wench]

The whole sell by date thing varies from store to store it depends who does your delivery. The asda that delivered to the grotty flat was excellent however, the asda that delivers to this house is a nightmare on the home delivery front.
