I know they get a lot of theft, but we're pretty frequent customers and the last time we were followed the whole time and watched down every aisle we walked down by a security lady. She even came and stood near us when we paid. Very uncomfortable. We bought a fraction of what we had planned to because we felt so uncomfortable and infuriated! Other people entered - someone with a hood up, another with a pram...now I'm not suggesting this means they were shoplifting by any means, but we didn't even have bags, big coats or loose clothing...the things you might associate with potential theft/concealment when you work in retail...but we were the only people being followed. Bravo.

We find all the staff frendly, healpfull and the shop is a nice place to shop, the only problem is people park there when they are picking up their children from the school opposite.

As a loyal customer who comes in pretty much on daily basis I have noticed that the management has changed … for the BETTER!! Not only does the store look more organised and clean, the staff members are also very polite and always willing to help! Also wanted to give a special shout out to a girl with long red hair for being extra amazing and helpful every time I come in!

Used to be the best shop in the area, very nice selection and an amazing staff who are always kind and energetic. Now, I've been fined twice on the car park while shopping due to a 20m parking limit. They literally fined me as I left at 22 minutes, the shop was busy and I waited for staff to grab some bread from the back for me... Been shopping here for 5 years, I'll never go back since this parking circus has been put in place.

Went in this dump today thought would get a pastry pie went up to the hot bit and they was black as the ace of spades the manager there said he cooked them I said I would not feed into the birds and he was rude. He was lucky I did not smack him in the face Don’t ever go here again dirty shop

I always like to put when the staff go that extra mile and I have always found the co-op in Archers road to be such a place. I went in tonight just simply to buy my mum some crisps and myself some popcorn but as always I found the staff to be so freindly, pleasant & helpful. I was served tonight by Cassie & as she always has been before she was freindly, cheerful & helpful & that is not always the case nowadays. Thank you to all the staff and this store is a credit to the co-op.

Absolutely amazing staff shopping today was great staff were so helpful all of them very friendly, and you have a well stocked shop. While I was there a young lad attempted to steel a few items but a member of staff Matt gave chase and retrieved all of the items. I think Matt should receive an award for bravery an amazing job well done Mat and all the staff on shift. They save you money

I have never been to a shop where the staff shout to each other so much. One member even boasted (whilst shouting from one end of the shop to the other)that they haven't had any complaints from customers so far! Having fun at work is fine but not to the detriment of the customers (and probably some of the staff who also find it off putting). Good management is clearly lacking. Food is ok, not always a great variety. Parking is great.
