The Co-operative Food East Tilbury

Poor choices, limited availability. Random when they restock. Can go early in morning and looks like hasn't been restocked, go in at lunch time and sometimes it is. The fruit is TERRIBLE. Pineapple is always hard. Bananas are horrible, Chicken Bacon Wrap amongst other items not included in meal deals and sometimes has hard bits in it. Have since stopped buying. The prices they charge are offensive. Mismatched deals. Anything reduced you have to go to checkout to get scanned (don't waste your time on the self checkouts) The staff are however, amazing and friendly. I wish this was not the only shop near my place of employment. BELOW ADDED 24/4 - Wow, can you believe it? The staff at this place are just so darn friendly and happy all the time! I mean, who needs good quality food when you have friendly staff, am I right? But don't worry folks, they HAVE improved on stocking (or so they claim), but unfortunately, the price gouging is still alive and kicking! I mean, come on, who doesn't love paying 1.22 for a bag of crisps when you can get a multipack for 1.30? It's not like we're living in a world where inflation exists or anything. And let's not forget about their outrageous prices. They must think they're located on the top floor of the Shard in London or something! But surprise, surprise, they're actually in Stanford Le Hope (-No Hope?). Who would have thought? So, to summarise, if you want to get ripped off and pay exorbitant prices for mediocre food, this is the place for you! Because remember, it's not about helping the average consumer, it's about robbing them blind and making a profit. Cheers!

Very useful if you run out of something. Good choice of fresh rolls. Also beer and wines.

Every time after work i pop into the store for shopping after 6pm and I can not find any essential groceries such as eggs, potatoes or fresh meat.

Potentially the worst co-op I've been to. What store opens with empty shelves... this one apparently. Lavazza coffee machine was sticky and filthy, rubbish pouring out of the coffee machine bin in-store - pretty gross even without taking COVID into consideration.
