Poor Effort 
This is not a Sainsbury's bashing review - I happen to think their products are better than most super markets but this branch really does have its low points.
First of all I should point out that it is the nearest super market to my flat so I seem to end up there more often than I care to think about. It started fine, though the decor is a little tired and quite run down - but then things really started going down hill. On one occasion I bought some prawns, I was in a hurry so just grabbed them off the shelf didn't even think about the sell-by-date. I got home, went to open them for a lunch I was preparing and the smell said everything -they had gone out of date two days before! Not only did they smell horrendous but on closer inspection looked a pretty grim too. These were not cheap prawns either - what were they doing on the shelf in the first place?
Second incident occurred when I decided to beat the weekend crowds of food shoppers and popped there one night after a trip to the gym. It was about 8.00pm and really quite, well quite everywhere apart from the check out. I had to wait over 35mins to pay for my shopping, which was only a few essential items! It is just so poorly organised here they have staff wondering round doing very little and only two people serving on the tills? This place baffles me and I really dislike going here for this reason - I think they could do so much more with it.
