There is always a good variety of all products - a good choice of brands with a range of prices to suit every budget. They also have a very good clothing section that often has a sale on. The atmosphere in Tesco is always bustling, even at 3 in the morning near Christmas and New Year. Although most of the staff are very friendly and will drop everything to help you look for a product but some of the staff that work on the electrical counter are a little to be desired. They are very unwilling to negotiate a refund/exchange even when you bring the product back within a week brand new!

Are good at putting more people on checkouts at busy times and the staff do try to make things run smoothly. Have often been given free samples and special offers without being asked!

I must admit that as this is my local shop I dreaded the change, the place was okay as it was, served most peoples needs. However the change has been greatly accepted the addition of Sainsburys value ranges and special offers have made the place come alive. Now I don't just nip in for a pint of milk I actually take time to look at what is available and have picked up some bargains along the way.
