Co-op Food - Islington - 640-650 Holloway Road

Does this business ever close on time? Ive been here several times as the closing time says 11pm for every day of the week, yet on several occasions this past few months it has closed so much earlier. Tonight they were closing the shutters at 22.05! Fair enough if thats the closing time but update your Google business page

This shop is a joke its a shop lifters paradise , I have just been in there saw two guys help themselves to all they wanted and walked out the security guy and as busy texting on his phone , its a joke . When I challenged him he said he was busy so I asked if I were to walkout with out paying and he said he would stop me !!! So I have to pay and others are left to help themselves???? They are useless

I was so happy to have a CO-OP as local shop when it opened. Things changed since then unfortunately. Not easy getting some service. Their self check-out do not accept cash payments. The shop used to close 11pm but now closes 10pm, so losing my custom as when I get back from work they're already closed. In the morning, most of the days, they don't have any fresh pastries nor fresh bread for some reason. Another loss on customers for them I guess. So, from being happy of their opening, now I wish another shop would have opened. Very disappointing.

IF zero stars were available that's what I'd select. My first time in this store I was looking forward to seeing what was available, as I went to leave I was accosted by a store manager who told me to open my bag as she had seen me put something in it ...I couldn't believe it, I asked if she was joking to which she replied no I'm not, open the bag!, I told her angrily to check the cctv and when she does to apologise, she left me for 6mins crying and shaking in front of customers and colleagues, her colleagues were apologetic, however by that time i was enraged, she swans out the back nonchalantly and says well sorry through gritted teeth, then proceeds to offer ,"do you know how many thieves come in a day", Not the apology I was looking for , I was embarrassed demoralised and quite frankly in shock, her name is Laura seabrook, as a result I'm taking it further, I will never use co op again, and I urge black women to be careful when browsing, just being black was enough for her to assume I'm a thief!

If you need assistance at the check out, you can be in for a long wait, as sometimes there's no staff around at all. When you do manage to get hold of a staff member they are usually quite rude.
