This review is about the petrol station specifically rather than the store itself. I've bought…read morepetrol from here on a few occasions and each time I've had the same experience, one dispenses fuel and a total amount comes up on the pump 30.50 for example, put the pump back in the holder but when you get to pay they say its 30.51 or on some occasions 30.52. Previously before the petrol station was refurbished could put this down to old pumps (though still not legal) but now with a complete refurbishment and new pumps its still happening. Each time I raise it with the staff where you pay they aren't interested in fact downright miserable. Yesterday I asked if the super unleaded that I purchased had been reformulated to 97 octane from 99octane, its premium unleaded she said blithely. I tried to explain premium unleaded is always 95 octane in the UK and I had purchased super unleaded, they don't tell us anything she said in a monotone, I realized this staff member would be better off engaged cleaning the pumps and the tyre pressure gauge then at the till. So if anyone is reading this from Trading Standards / Department of Consumer Affairs do conduct your own experiment. My car had at least a gallon of fuel but the pump dispensed enough fuel as though I only had two litres left so again worry about the accuracy of fuel dispensed. Tesco were prosecuted a few years ago for having fuel bypass system to make extra profits.

I've been using the Staines Sainsbury's for years, so have got used to its little quirks and…read moreniggles. It's a large supermarket stocking everything for your weekly shop. They don't provide much in the way of clothes, electrical and other such lines (apart from during the January sales). It stocks a wide range of groceries, but keeps doing that annoying thing of changing where things are so you can wander round for what seems like hours looking for the things you buy every week. The thing that really lets it down is the cigarette/lottery kiosk. The queues there are always long and the staff can be downright rude.

I actually really like this Waitrose and is the only supermarket to be found between Sunningdale,…read moreSunninghill and Ascot without driving to the Sainsburys and Tescos in Bracknell or Staines. It's a good size - not overwhelmingly large but not so small it doesn't offer a choice. It's recently had a refurbishment with new checkouts and updated store design. You'll find reduced price bargains (meat and bakery) if you pop in just before closing on weekdays. They also have 'green' checkouts for customers who don't require plastic bags - cardboard boxes are usually available from behind the checkouts. There is free parking but this does get chocker with 44s, especially at weekends. Unless you have a disability, I recommend parking at the end of the car park. You'll reduce the risk of a BMW X5 reversing into you and you'll have a less stressful shopping experience. Because it's a smallish shop, you'll usually see the bright and breezy manager or deputy manager walking the floor - extremely unusual in today's supermarkets.

The supermarket itself is actually ok. Not too big, not too small. Has most essentials. Shopping…read moreexperience is not so great though. Lots of pepole that think they are the only person in the world, pushing trollys into you rather than showing some sensibility and going round you as you do to them. If you are not getting a trolley driven at you inside someone is driving their 44 at you in the car park. Incredibly badly designed car park and bad use of space. AVOID at all costs on a saturday morning!! Staff are very friendly though and couldn't do more for you, shame it is let down by the customers.
