Fish spoiled within due date. Went to store for return and needed to wait for a long time and speak to 5 different staffs until a manager(?) came out and told me it cannot be returned. The reason he gave was this needs to be returned yesterday when I bought it and not today when I actually want to cook it today. Even though it has clearly spoiled before the due date. Very frustrating experience and wasted so much time there also. According to sainsbury policy, which I quote from their website, “We're sorry you're not happy with the quality of your items, please return your item to a store convenient for you, with your proof of purchase and we'll be happy to refund or exchange.” Clearly not the experience today.

I tried to shop at this Sainsbury’s a month ago. The employees were to busy pushing past me to stop when I tried to speak to them . I could not get to products because of the blocked aisles and rubbish. I raised a complaint with Sainsbury’s who said they would look into it and advise in 72 hours. They have not responded over a month later, so when there “ sorry to hear about this please email us on ….. so we can ignore you “ response comes through.. do not believe there virtue signalling. They only care when it’s public. Sainsbury’s also confirmed the store and deputy store manager were there.

I usually go to large Sainsbury's in new cross but as it was just before 10pm that was about to close. So I went here instead and it is open till 11pm. Not as good as new cross but it made do for few items I needed. Barely any ice-cream selection though!
