Why do we have to stand at the kiosk when there is five checkouts empty we have to wait for people getting lotteries ,when we want to buy groceries, why not open the checkouts and let people who want lotteries go to the kiosk. As for staffing, the co-op never put enough staff on as it would up the wages bill so they would rather people wait and get aggitated with the staff talking to each other while people are waiting, the service is useless

Brilliant tell the management dont let anything knock your confidence you are not to blame for management mistakes let the management look at the comments and they can make their own minds up

I bet the manager of the co op has had a heart attack reading the last post, thats all he  needs somebody getting rid of more customers. What with the bad service and staff talking and not serving this will be the nail in the coffin for another shop.  

Co-op crusader?

looks like another one's got over the wall,or released on care in the community grounds,if you condone this sort of "service" you really should look long and hard as to your senility and ask yourself " should I really be allowed out on my own"? or maybe you're content sitting in the precinct rocking back and forth knuckle munching!

Ive not had more than 2 in front of me, so done well?  Also, they dont take long to serve, although usually with a friendly reply to any comment.

I am pleased they have some organic stuff, but can we please have some special offers on real food, I am sick of 2 for 1 on junk.  Buy one apple get one free would be better.  Or pint of milk, joint of beef!

       Had cause to visit this establishment this morning to purchase my favourite nicotine fix,(I know I shouldn't as it offends so many self righteous do good mamby pamby politically correct arseholes but I enjoy my smoke! and so do a few of my friends) none on the shelf, but the kind assistant did grub about under the counter and blowing the dust off a very well worn packet of Condor told me ”it should be £4.50 but you can have it for £3.00.” Why the discount? could this be the same packet I returned six months ago?(as dry as snuff then!) surely not. BUT YES. “It's old stock we've got to sell from a store that closed down LAST YEAR!”she proudly informed me. No sell by date on the demon weed. But it does raise the question WHAT OTHER OUT OF DATE STOCK must they have sold on in the last year from the very same closed down store? As for me if I must travel to Morrison's for my tobacco I may as well take Mrs. Sipsi for the weekly shop and stuff shopping in Killamarsh.I consider myself lucky enough to be able to do this but a lot of pensioners on the other hand are not so fortunate as to have their own transport and rely on this debarcle of a “retail outlet” for their sustenance. As for the Co-op lets hope the rumours are true and the whole shopping area is converted into an housing development, that would be a farce of even Killamarsh proportions, a complete village of dwellings with no shops,banks,petrol stations,pubs only a very proud council and every moronic drug addled dead headed vandal in the area.Food for thought maybe?

         And the council war cry rings loudly in my ears yet again, its obviously rubbed off on co-operative management  “I'M ALLRIGHT JACK etc.etc.”
