M&S Simply Food

I almost stop here every morning, some of the staff may know me as well. But this morning was a big disappointment. Displayed the price as discounted 1.25, when i went to the till it was 1.99. Ive said to the cashier its incorrect price and then somehow he made it to be 1.45. With a rude attitude he said thats the price if i want it take it if i dont want it dont take it. Coffee and bacon bap was good for the price.

Delicious fresh food each time we stop over before hitting the motorway, and always well stocked.

This M&S is part of a petrol station located on the A127.There is some parking available if you do not want any fuel. Currently there are lights by the entrance to indicate if it's safe to enter, green for enter, red for wait. Once inside you will find the usual selection of garage goodies and magazines, plus a decent range of M&S food items which appear slightly more expensive than the regular shop. At the back of the store is a coffee shop for takeaway service only. If you go late afternoon, early evening then some of the fresh items will be on discount. Toilets appear to be regularly cleaned and the store looks like a hygienic and safe environment.

It's your normal everyday BP garage with a M&S attached but my last visit was honestly just bizarre. I went in there to grab a quick ready meal for later before I got to work and an extra snack for the road. I got to the cashier where he scanned my first item and then proceeded to stare at the back of the packaging without saying anything. He just decided to start reading all about the ingredients and the 'how to cook' instructions I guess. I wouldn't have minded but this was in total silence and for a solid 40 or so seconds. No acknowledgment that he had stopped serving and once he was done he didnt even mention this weird moment. Didn't help there was also a queue forming with just the one till open so I felt I was wasting other peoples time. Thankfully he decided to only deeply inspect my risotto meal and not the rest of the shopping so it was then just your usual awkward human interaction. Not something I would hate a place for but the experience was so bizarre and he made no mention of what he was doing I had to mention it. 3/5 would question people staring at my shopping in silence next time.
