I come here at least once a week, normally to buy their freshly squeezed orange juice, which is amazing. I do get annoyed by their drinks selection though...

The supermarket is mediocre but the attitude of the staff there Is worse. After purchasing my…read moregroceries, i habitually check the receipt in case I've been incorrectly charged. Instead of inspecting it right in the middle of the thoroughfare, I stepped aside into a corner in its cafe seating area to get out of everyone's way. Not a word of a lie, I was not loitering and only there for a few seconds, before a cafe assistant immediately told me to leave the area as it was for 'Customers dining only'. I was not occupyying the seating area and explained I was quickly checking my receipt and will leave immediately. The cafe assistant was indifferent and repeated the area was for dining customers only and if I needed to check my receipt to go and check elsewhere! I wouldn't mind as much if the cafe area was bursting at its seams and my groceries were sprawled across the tables and occupying unnecessary space. The said cafe area was completely empty!!! Not a customer in sight. How ridiculous! No standing in the five foot exclusion zone not even for a few seconds. So whose way am I in exactly? Let's ask its customers shall I? No wait, there aren't any to ask! Strange how Rewe was happy to accept my business a minute ago. Well, I've conceded it's a classic case of post business 'You don't exist' syndrome. Needless to say, I shall be reciprocating, I won't be parting cash at this supermarket again.
