you may feel that this system is great.... however if the cashier believes that you may be stealing just by the way you look, that cashier will press a button to rescan, they and their manager will deny that this happens, its a cruel and embarrassing procedure in which it only cares for profit by stripping down your dignity. i asked many cashiers to tell me why i keep getting rescanned and only one out of 20 working told me they push a button, because he told me, i respected what he said so i did not mention what he said to sainsburys

I have tried many superstores and I think these are the best overall, their own brand items are great!

My wife and I use our local sainsburys for our weekly grocery shop and have always found it to be a pleasant experience. We originally started shopping there merely because it is our closest supermarket but having shopped at a nearby Asda and Tesco have found it to be competativly priced and generally quieter than some of the other supermarkets. The lines at the tills are never more than two deep and the staff seem to be well trained and cheerful. Recently our sainsburys has been printing out price match vouchers so if your shop could have been bought cheaper elsewhere you get the difference. Seems like a better system than other supermarkets where you have ...  Read the complete review
