The staff that have been there for years are nice, helpful and friendly.
It was nice to see the shop refitted to modernise it, but the plan was not thought out very well.
A LOT of the shop floor space is taken with a large open area at the front that serves no purpose.
The aisles have been made so slim you are forced to squeeze past other shoppers, if you where using one of the co-op trolleys you would have to go back down the isle to get past unless of course you don't mind skimming past a trolly and no body space between you and the other person!
Some of the new staff needed a personality test before being employed. I understand that working at co-op isn't what a lot of people want to be doing this Xmas.. but half a smile or some politeness would be good from time to time.
I looked forward to the new 'fresh bakery' section that the other co-ops have, I was very let down by this in the new fitting.. very poor choice compared to other co-ops.
I would drive to Tesco's 1st before I shopped at the co-op to be honest. But its good for bread or milk when you run out. read more
