I mostly go in here before or after work, when this is the only shop nearest the biggest Hospital in Europe they must have a good lot of custom from Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, you would think they could be more organised at peak times. This morning I was in at 08.15 there was a queue of three people in front of me and by the time I was served about ten folks behind me there was a Chap at the checkout querying a price and it took two of them to eventually sort it out. I asked the Manager if he could open another till and he told me he would when the Girl had counted her float, surely this should be done before the shop opens poor organisation. I am still happy with the goods they supply but it can be a chore to shop there.

Only recently discovered this Lidl and it being close to my work is a bonus as I have missed having…read morea Lidl or Aldi near my home. This particular Lidl is a fair size & when I visited after work one day it was surprisingly quiet, which made a nice change to my regular visit to Morrisons post-work where I have to strap on my armour & metal capped shoes to prepare myself for the inevitable mobs zig-zagging the aisles. Honestly, you would think some people have never been in a supermarket with OTHER PEOPLE before the way they act. Sheesh. Pure trolly rage man. Nae trolly rage here I am happy to report - nice wide aisles and, as I said, it seemed quite quiet to me. Yas. I was specifically in for fruit & veg and was happy to see a good selection of both on offer although not for as cheap I as remember Lidl being when I used to shop regularly in the store a few years ago. Still I guess all supermarkets have put their prices up somewhat in recent years. Bah. I spotted the odd deal - it was luckily for me cheap aubergines so I was happy being a lover of those purple fleshy beasts. I was saddened there were not more offers on but maybe since I was a regular Lidl shopper they have stopped doing so many? As you walk in this store they have to the right a huge shelf of all their 'fresh' bakery products, I say 'fresh' as I presume they are fresh at 8am but not so at 5:30pm...still quite a few items on sale & the crossiants/pastries all looked lovely but their faux Krispy Kreme style donuts looked a bit worse for wear, one even delightfully had a bite already taken out of it, mmm...try before you buy, eh? S'nice. The meat section here was a lot more well stocked compared to other Lidl's I have frequented, although I noticed a distinct lack (not rack) of lamb. Still plenty of great meat & fish bargains - I spotted two salmon steaks for a mere £2.69, pretty good. All in all this Lidl was really well stocked and although maybe not as big as some of their other Glasgow stores it had a good variety of produce too. Only tiny, minute grumble I had was when at the till they had none of their Bag-for-life type bags for sale; it was only cheap carrier or more expense insulated & super strong bags available. I should have brought my own (especially considering I seem to buy a new one nearly every other time I visit a supermarket & have a plasticky mountain of them in my flat) so my fault really. One thing I must point out about here is when you have finished packing your bags on their 'packing bench' and the rear of the shop don't do what I did and think you are being ever so helpful and take your basket with you to put back in what I presumed would be a stack of them near the entrance/exit of the shop as they are, as I rather embarrassedly found out, alarmed! So if you try to take them out the first set of exit doors a delightful alarm sounds. So, as I was told, just leave them on/near the packing bench. Okay. I know now....*cringe*

For that wee special delicacy it's always worth popping into Waitrose. I wouldn't use it as a…read moreregular supermarket though, it's just too pricey for that. Morrisons is more in my budget range for the weekly shop, but there's always something in Waitrose to tempt you into spending more than you intended when you came in. Of course, all supermarkets want to do just that, but Waitrose seem to manage it more easily than most. This branch isn't huge, but it's somewhere larger than a 'metro' size and has more in it than you would think. They've even opened up a wee coffee bar at the front now, which seems to attract a few thirsty shoppers. The upstairs car park gives them a big advantage over Tesco and M&S farther down the road for bulk shoppers with deep pockets, but for me it's always a hand basket '5 items or less' style of visit.

The whole of the G12 postcode seemed to have a collective orgasm when Waitrose opened…read more Conversations in coffee shops shifted from bandwagon-jumping politics to whether or not Waitrose sold quaill's eggs, and it's arrival was exactly what the West End needed. Not only did it provide reassurance to it's residents that they were just as middle class as those from the nice parts of Edinburgh, but it allowed the West Enders to finally ditch their transparent bohemian pretence and concentrate on what's really important in life, like eating pheasant. When people talk about Waitrose it's position as a status symbol never seems far off their lips, but the quality is there too. If you're after something a bit special for dinner they sell countless brands you won't find elsewhere, and things like veal and venison that are often unavailable in other supermarkets. Well laid out, well stocked, and with a token nod to the fairtrade ethos if you feel guilty about spending a tenner on a loaf of bread. I'm glad they've arrived.

It's quite possible to spend over an hour just browsing through these things before you even make a start on your shopping. This, however, tends to make the overall shopping bill far more expensive as it's almost impossible to progress to the foodstuffs before you've half-filled your trolley with things you hadn't set out to buy in the first place! I therefore prefer to shop in Morrisons across the road, however this is an excellent store and well worth a look if you've got time to browse.

I dont love shopping there as it feels cramped compared to other local supermarkets. The isles are tighter and shorter than asda or morrisons. The fruit and veg section always annoys me. Keep the fruits toghether and the veg together!!! They have fruit down one isle mixed with veg and other fruit/veg on the other and you cant seem to find what you want the first time round and end up doing a couple of circuits. Think it could be better arranged. They have a large health beauty section which is quite good and the usual home, albums, clothing etc. Handy if you live in milngavie but not worth a trip out to milngavie if not.

I absolutely adore the lady at the bakery, she always lets me know what's freshest and the best deals on at the store! The checkout can be a bit slow because people in Milngavie tend to be quite chatty, but that is part of the experience! Yes, prices are definitely higher than Tesco, and few things are what I would call a bargain. However, the quality is definitely superior than most stores especially when it comes many of the pre-packaged ready to eat food...I love their 2 for £3 salads! My current favourite is the zingy, seasonal salad with broccoli, cilantro (coriander), and chipotle-lime dressing! These salads are always fresh and much more ingenuitive than most pre-fix salads! Don't buy dog food here, no selection or large bags, and mostly only that slimy kibble for small dogs.

**300th review (and 100th this year!)**…read more Okay, okay, I finally 'get' the whole Waitrose thing. This isn't the nearest store to me, but browsing the shelves I was overwhelmed with the variety of products on offer and soon was having to resist the urge to go into a complete shopping frenzy. I realised that it felt like I was in an American supermarket. So much choice! So many new things to try! Must... resist.... As it was past lunchtime, we started off in the cafe and ordered a fish pie and a falafel wrap, with a couple of coffees and tarte au citrons (or lemon tart as they called it, clearly not trusting the erudition of the Milngavie residents). The coffee wasn't bad at all for a supermarket cafe, the experience only marred by the half-hour wait for the food to arrive, by which time it had gone cold and I was in need of a second one. Yes, it was rather busy, and they did apologise for the delay, but it would have been nice if they had warned us that it was going to take so long, whereupon I would have saved my coffee order until afterwards. However, the wrap was very tasty and came with a generous dollop of tzatziki on the side. The fish pie (Herself assures me) was also tasty, although the green salad came without any dressing, necessitating a raid on my tzatziki. Had we not had the delay in the cafe I would have given the place 5 stars. As it was, we came away with more purchases that we'd intended and considerably poorer than we'd planned; but then that's the main aim of a supermarket so they certainly succeeded there!

The self service section is a joke as half of them have not been switched on and the one l used made me feel as if l just won the jackpot on a fruit machine in a pub, how can a shop justify paying a customer 62p change in 2p pieces. Ice cream that has been defrosted is being re frozen and sold again when l reported the issue to the duty manager he did nothing. Tesco sort yourselves out!
