Co-op Food - South Ealing Road

Apr 30th, 2023

I already reviewed this Shop two years ago and gave it 4* but now things have changed and so the review needs updating: I understand the Economy is suffering and we all have to survive. I also understand how the cost of living has to be increased to cope with the rising bills but I am shocked to see how the prices have spiked over the last year in this small shop, considering the Staff is absolutely useless and the selection of products on sale is appalling. The long life vegetables are dumped on the shelves with no care to display the correct price and all the good work from the refurbishment happening few years back is now lost. The chillers are filled with little common sense,Vegan, Vegetarian and Meat/Fish products are often mixed on the same shelf, including the COOP own range GRO which tastes absolutely vile and the Company is desperately trying to push! The Bakery used to be really nice but now the horrible bagged bag prevails and I was horrified to check that the price of a baguette has jumped to 1.20 from about 80p. Everything else is now between 2.50 and 5 average, will it be chocolate or a coffee jar. Adding to this the fact that the shop now is used to pick online shopping and the premises are the size of a shoe box, the shelves are often empty at 17:30 pm, five hours before closing and nobody cares. The issue is that this Branch has been open for years and we carried them through thick and thin, including during lock down when it was just easier to order food online.The way to thank customers seems to be to rip them off day after day. It might sound like a very harsh review but the fact that the queue to the checkouts is non existent it's a testimony to the fact that customers are going elsewhere. Understandably.

It is the nearest supermarket in my area and amazon pick up centre. They only have two staffs at the check out and they need to deal with too many things such as finding an amazon delivery for customer, pick up item for deliveroo gerocery orders, serving customer. There is always long queue. I think they need more staffs to handle all enquaries.
