No - I'm not talking about the price of Jaffa cakes!
I've been shopping today. Normally I'm a Waitrose man, but I'm in Lincoln at the moment and they don't seem to have quality supermarkets up here.
I will also use Sainsburys and, at a push, Tesco. But today I couldn't find what I wanted and ended up in Asda at North Hykeham.
So, the point, people in Asda were SERIOUSLY ugly!!!!! Is my assumption correct that the better the supermarket, the better looking the customers? It is fair to say that Sainsburys has some visually offensive people, Tesco has a few more fat blotchy tracksuit wearing types. But Asda - they really do take the biscuit.
Most of their customers look liked they'd fallen into the gene pool when the life guard wasn't watching - the banjo player out of deliverance would have been pointing and laughing.
It was HORRIBLE.
Anyway. As I've never been in (and never intend doing so) to either Aldi or Lidl perhaps someone can comment on the ugliness of the people in there......
Sainsburys exist to keep the rif-raf out of Waitrose. Regarding Chavda and Tesco, purrrrlease!

You, yesterday.
Depends where you live, where I live is famous for being Tesco monopoly and is always on the news. Somethign like 7 Tesco, big one then each estate has a mini one. Then the nearest shop one way is an even bigger Tesco it's hideous but you get a bit stuck!!!
Netto, Lidle anyone.?
it's true, try a Morrisons sometime - shallow end of the gene pool
Hyacinth would not have gone into Asda in North Hykeham. Seriously, any more drool coming out of peoples mouths and I'd have needed wellies!
It really wasn't nice!
And people looked like they'd slept in their filthy clothes! I got up, washed, put on clean jeans and a clean shirt and looked half respectable.
Most of these mongs looked like rejects from a zombie film.
On the plus side - Flash Spray with Bleach was only a pound a bottle (guess they don't sell much to the normal customers........)
Lidl's great. I like nothing better than to ride my bike (smugly) in their gear knowing that it is just as good as the posers in the megabucks 'name' brands, all in the knowledge that it keeps young people in far off lands in gainful employment.
Oooooh, Morrisons - they've got one of those here. I'll go try it tomorrow........
Woody - I'm not suggesting any of them are poor quality in terms of goods - just in terms of customers.
Are you ugly?
don't actually go into morrisions you fool. you will be visually scarred. just trust my judgement.
the problem with morrisons is that whilst the bottom feeders dwell there, the shop actually sells some very good fresh fish and veg.
I use a mix, sainsbury for 'stuff', waitrose or marks for food, I'm sure any of the others are good for 'stuff', except tesco's because they rarely do deals & BOGOF's.
basspine - that website is priceless.
Picture 5 is hideous!
Sainsburys is "ok" to be honest - although the one in Welwyn Garden City seems to be staffed entirely by gods special people.......
I found a FULL hyperdermic syringe in the chiller cabinet one day (full of what I do not know). I told the manager who proceeded to just pick it up and say "job done". It didn't seem to occur to him that it might have been in some diseased junkies veins!
I will shop in Tesco if they have televised offers on specific branded goods. But not otherwise.....
Whilst I agree with you on the difference class wise of customers at Asda and Waitrose, you missed the main
point, the difference in cost of those Jaffa cakes, you could probably buy 2 boxes at Asda for 1 at Waitrose.
Edit:- sorry didnt read your post properly, yes customers and staff real oddballs at asda.
No - you're missing the point, or is there even a point.
Is it better to pay £2 (for instance) for a box of Jaffa cakes from a shop with attractive people, or get two boxes for £2 in a shop full in badly dressed, in bred morons?
Personally - I'd worry the Jaffa cakes would taste of common people......
My local stores are Somerfield and Asda,
your observations are correct, Asda odd, Somerfield staffed by students, Sainsburys seem to have more than
their fair share of MILFs working there, Aldi [ in Droitwich, have some very impressive girls there], Morrisons
the staff seem to be all like my mom! Tesco in Redditch not that exciting for such a large store.
Waitrose in Droitwich has quality staff and customers.

You clearly have more money than sense.*
*Still true even if you've very little money.
Apparently the latest trend is that Lidl and Aldi are actually full of posh people buying the basics before popping over the road to Sainsburys or Waitrose for the more expensive bits and pieces.
the posh stuff at aldi is very good - their business model isn't to buy shit, it's to limit choice and lever their suppliers to supply huge volumes to stores across europe. eg, only one type of chorizo/apple pie/shiraz but a good one.
The Lidl near my old work had strategically placed bollards (yes they might have been intended to prevent ram-raiders but...) I lost count of the number of 'tards that would walk testiclay-first into them.
Clearly even Lidl know they need to prevent their customers breeding!
There are some ugly sounding 'personalities' on this thread.
Fubar - watch it or you'll get pelted with some of Waitrose's finest quail eggs!
If you leave your snobbery at the door Aldi and Morrissons actually have some of the best quality food of all the supermarkets. Superior to Sainsburies, Tesco, and Asda for sure.
ram raid lidl!! 😯
My local supermarket is Waitrose (5 mins walk)its quite small and can be a bit lacking with product range, but my preferred choice for the friendly staff and more laid back atmosphere.
Always feel Tesco's are trying to con me and no doubt do even if I can't always spot it
Two slices of ham please doesn't mean furtively slip three in thanks and why is anything on the deli always just(hugely)over and never under the amount you ask for
Does ripen at home mean rock hard and inedible then goes rotten, never really spotted the ripe stage, must last for about ten minutes
Sainsbury's are not much better, finding the fire glow bulb above the Tomatoes put me right off, wondered why they looked so ripe
Morrisons in Easterhouse ,Glasgow search the "customers" on the way IN.
Asda is a close second with the one a few miles away having a gangland execution in the carpark in broad daylight recentley.
eye heart Glasgow.
Oh and if you have a Lidl in your neighbourhood then you really do live in a sh**e area.
Look. I wasn't suggesting the quality of produce was different (although it is - has anyone eaten Tesco value beans? It's like a tub of red water with one rock hard bean in it).
I was simply commenting on the ugliness of the customers. I am a statistician by training and there does seem to be a correlation between cheapness and ugliness.
But, to be fair, even I understand that ugly people need somewhere to shop......
DrRS**** - MemberNo - I'm not talking about the price of Jaffa cakes!

I might be missing the point here but all supermarkets are low quality! If you want quality food then visit proper shops and farmers markets. The shite in waitrose is no better than the shite in asda, lidl or anywhere else. If you think it is then you should visit your local industrial estate and see which supermarket lorries pick up from the same scummy food factory. Middle class dillusions of grandeur I think.
Can't stand Sainsbury's. Every store I visit seems to be a shining example in incompetence: from running out of milk at 2pm; to only having one checkout open at peak times; to organising the store in a way only Einstein could understand. And it's expensive. Two thumbs down from me.
Now ADSA, I like, and I don't even own a dodgy tracksuit.

Sorry, but that isn't quite correct
For instance the Waitrose Free Range Scotch egg is entirely different to the ones bought in Tesco or Sainsburys and is a far superior culinary experience
It has a nice peppery sausage meat coating with an egg displaying a fine porcelain white albumen with rich yellow yolk
Unlike the usual tasteless light brown thing with a grey and pale yellow oval object inside
The quiche is similarly different in its taste and appearance, I can only suggest you try them for yourself and then draw your own conclusions
I'd normally use Waitrose, mainly over their commitment to quality sourcing and standard. That said, my nearest supermarket in that London's Famous London is a Sainsburys. And it's very good indeed. Friendly cheerful staff and a good all round range of stock.
Waitrose in Salisbury is the bestest, though! Apart from the numpties who don't know how that the petrol hose will reach around to the far side of their car and therefore clog up the road like muppets. Grrr.
All supermarkets are evil: FACT 😉
If all supermarkets are equal then I'm going to give up food for good, except for pizza, I love pizza, none of that ready made stuff mind 😉
Surely the ugliness of the customers is more to do with the location of the store than the price of the goods.
DrRS**** - good troll sir. You've held yer own trollage sound, and shown up a lot of these ****s. good work.
unless you are serious 😯 😯
Every good troll is part based on fact.
And, the customers in Asda North Hykeham are the ugliest supermarket mob in Lincoln. FACT!
I quite like waitrose but cannot stand the stuck up ****ers that shop in there (the howies brigade). My favorite is co-op. Small, strong ethical values and good quality food.
DrRS**** you do know that there is a Waitrose in Lincoln don't you?
It's up on Searby Road off Nettleham road.
[url= http://www.multimap.com/s/y6iI238V ]Here[/url] in fact.
There's no fact here without piktures. Post a pic of yourself, so we know what beauty is not in ASDA. need some sorta comparison. ta.
Good shout for the Co-Op, nice stuff, not so sure now they have merged with Somerfield, but I won't discount it until I give it a go.
Loving the irony of snobbish ponces looking down their noses at others, yet still shopping at supermarkets!
Get over yourselves. I accept this is a desperate attempt by Arse***** and others to try to appear above the 'common herd', but Ugliness? Please. Let's have a look at you, so we can judge your pulchritude. Come on!
'Ooh look at me I shop at Waitrose because I'm so special and clever lah de dah'. Pfft. Fortnum and Mason's is where it's at, or did you not do well enough at school? 🙄
What is it with the pretentious willy-waving on here? Sad and pathetic.
Personally, I shop at LiDLs (same basic stuff as in other supermarkets, but cheaper), local market, Co-Op/Somerfield and Tesco's sometimes and Waitrose, as they're my local supermarkets. Each has their pusses and minuses. Waitrose's meat is way overpriced and not that great quality. Rip off. LiDLs doesn't offer the greatest shopping experience, it must be said. The others are mediocre at best.
Stuck-up ponces...
*Unless of course it's a clever troll, to flush out the snobs...
Stuck-up ponces..
Truest words spoken on this thread!
