Review of Spring
18 Aug 07, 10:40
Horrible place.. 
First off, I had an interview at another Spring down in Richmond already before this. Secondly, when I got there - they requested that I re-did my entire "profile" that I had already done at the other Spring (even though they said it was a shared networking system). Finally, when I got there - they "cancelled" my interview before I even got to speak to the person I was meant to be talking to. I was informed they'd contact me back in regards to re-arranging the meeting with the women.. I'm still waiting for that phone call a year later.
I know looking for work isn't all that great fun, nor is it meant to be easy either. But Spring makes it almost impossible. They're on my "High Avoid List" along with the Gregg's in Kentish Town..

Review of Greggs

Not going back..
This particular Greggs has done far to much to cause me to stay away from going back to it again. Last summer, I got a five-day long food poisioning from two of their Custard Tarts. Then, some time in January, I was given a bogus fiver ..twice. But besides their bad customer service and distasteful handling of their foods - Gregg's is probably one of the most populated areas in Kentish Town during lunch time (it's a bit disheartening).
Upon further evaluation, I noticed that not all things get tossed out at the end of the day - so you occassionally find yourself eating "one or two day old" food. It definitely doesn't follow the logic of "Baked Fresh Daily". This is probably where my ever-so-wonderful food poisioning came from a year ago. Regardless, the food here is sub-par at best. You can find all of these things and better stuff in other bakers around Kentish Town.
I would avoid going there at any cost, as I've been doing. They've given me a bad fiver twice (the same one) and on the second time of getting it exchanged - they placed it right back into the till as though nothing was wrong with it (had the queen's head on front, then on back had a deutch person on it). Point is, they should've tossed out the fiver or reported it to the authorities.
Either way, I'm not going to suggest going there again until there's new management of sorts.
