Aldi also have the distinction of paying their staff a very good wage, one that they can live on, without having to resort to top ups from the state. The only slight problem I have with them is that, to pay good wages they keep their staffing levels tight, this results sometimes in largish queues at the checkouts.
The worst Supermarket for service and products, particularly fresh meat, fruit & veg is the Co-Op, I would only buy branded stuff from them and only in an emergency. Their staff are rude, many without even knowing it.
The second is Waitrose, shit products and staffing levels at premium prices. I really don't know how they get away with it.
Marks can be very good if you go at the right time and take advantage of price reductions and some of their special offers. You can get really quality stuff at prices the big 3 sell some of their economy/ own brand lines at.
That is my quick synopsis of Supermarkets
What about us?
