M&S customers are a nuisance

I went into M&S Food today and every customer I came across was absolutely oblivious to anyone else in that store. It's like Percy Pigs over morals.

Were they were looking for steak cut chips ?

Hee hee !!

simpledeer · 28/03/2025 17:54

It’s all charm and grace in my local.

What would I know? I don't eat chips so not an aisle I venture down

Oh, that's so sad! No chips??
No wonder people come across as nuisances. They are revelling in the taste, feel and fun of chips

I have literally just come from my local M&S SF. It’s all fine there (didn’t know about the discount @NotEnoughRoom thanks for the tip)

Meh

soz OP

I can’t get worked up about this

Doingmybestbut · 28/03/2025 17:51

Agreed although I did see the lady from Glee/Only Murders in the Building in there recently so that was nice.

TheCountofMountingCrispBags · 28/03/2025 17:50

Presumably you were charm personified, and there'll be a thread stating everyone in m & s foodhall were being nuisances apart from one...!

TeapotTitties · 28/03/2025 17:49

Don't be so hard on yourself OP.

Bumpitybumpbumplook · 28/03/2025 17:48

I hate M&S and useless sparks card more than I hate the customers.

NotEnoughRoom · 28/03/2025 17:47

Sparks card has 25% off Percy Pigs & Colin the Caterpillar sweets at the moment so, yes, definitely a case of pigs over morals!

You need to shop in Aldi, all very polite in there😊

A women in my Aldi threw a packet of biscuits in the store assistants face after she was asked to leave.

crockofshite · 28/03/2025 17:46

They must have seen you coming.

ballettap · 28/03/2025 17:43

I have never had that experience in M&S. Or any supermarket to be honest. Perhaps it depends on where you live.

The staff are great but the queues are always massive because the customers are SO SLOW. I don’t know what it is about that shop that makes people take twice as long to unload their stuff at the till and pay

The tiny conveyor belts obliterated by bags don't help.

Firenzeflower · 28/03/2025 17:43

Go to Asda at Charlton SE London. It’s like Hunger Games but often people are in their pj’s.

Needmorelego · 28/03/2025 17:40

The problem is if the customers weren't there then they wouldn't make any money and they would close down.
This happened in my mother in laws town.
According to the locals the M+S closing was like the apocalypse happening and the town will NEVER recover and only zombies venture into town now where there's nothing but pigeons, tumbleweed and the smell of hopelessness.
Apparently.

Which m&s food has an aisle dedicated to chips?

Rhaidimiddim · 28/03/2025 17:38

I had the same in Sainsbury's today. Amateur hour.
Must be the Spring sunshine.

M & Who?

They are dead to me since they discontinued the syrup sponge pudding last year, the one I that I had been buying since the 1990's. DEAD.

Abra1t · 28/03/2025 17:34

Was it in the yum-yum aisle?
