A great store. Solid choices whether you’re after food, drink or even a newspaper! Minor quibble: Some staff members are not fully versed with deciphering the nuances of linguistic semantics.
One of the best local supermarkets I have seen in Edinburgh, always clean and tidy, professional staff, efficient check-out. Great selection for such a small surface, way better than anything in the neighbourhood, including other Sainsbury's branches.
Atrocious customer service .atrocious staff and management. You have to ask to be served.not so much as a hi or goodbye from anyone .expect to be stared down even if you are a loyal paying customer . No manners .no class .but most of all sainsburys you have no security for your poor staff who have to triple up their jobs (serving ,stacking shelves and monitoring customers ,),.I've witnessed non security staff chasing after thief's. The shops staff are rude .but maybe because they are overworked by the lack of foresight from inadequate and extremely rude management staff .dear o dear
This was quite an OK local supermarket but they have decided to devote the majority of shelf space to Biscuits soft drinks Crisps convenience foods Much less space for healthy quality products Ah well just need to shop elsewhere Sol is a brilliant shop just close by!
Prices are high compared to nearby shops, cost of living increases have exacerbated these significant price rises, regularly no eggs or milk for some reason. coffee machine regularly doesn’t work due to unfilled milk. Also bakery is so inconsistent. no staff are up front so waits for kiosk or IDs take very long, probably due to corporate deliberately understaffing. Consistently ID’d for red bull even though clearly over 25. I now walk to the local Tesco even though this Sainsbury's is closer.
Very understaffed. Must be very tiring for those on shift as it seems like they are running the place by themselves!
Good in terms of location and prices are ok for inner city. However, on more than a few occasions I've been left at the self service tills waiting for staff to appear when trying to buy alcohol/issue with the till, to the point I've had to go looking for someone to alert them. Also overheard/seen other shoppers with the same issue.
Not a huge fan of the vastly overrated Sainsburys chain but this store really is much more irritating than the others. Cramped space, understaffed, staff present are pretty unhelpful, terrible queuing system, always been poor since opening a few years ago.
Convenient but it is very understaffed as there is never anyone at the tills and any self checkout assistants. Usually one person having to multitask everything.
I asked a female staff member if they had a specific type of red wine in and she just said I dunno !!!! no offer or use of her initiative to go and find out from a co-worker or look it up. And they used to say Sainsbury's was a posh shop.
