morrisons is the best supermarket

Freshest food/best quality, more variety, more affordable, best hot food and salad, best in shopping experience, best checkout, best/most expensive looking marketing, best bags, best cafe, arguably best checkouts, the best range is far superior to anything else sold by other supermarkets or other private brands and its the best value too

Morrisons r is more successful than Waitrose.but it has 100 more stores and also a broader target market. Waitrose is a "Hugh end" supermarket, targeting wealthy middle class etc
It's not comparable. You're better comparing Waitrose and M&S food Hall.

You should Compare it to Sainsbury, Asda and Tesco... Etc

It only has 8.7% of market share (Tesco has 27.4%)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/280208/grocery-market-share-in-the-united-kingdom-uk/

It's the 6th most popular in yougov.

https://yougov.co.uk/ratings/consumer/popularity/supermarket-chains/all

So it's not "the best"

Edited

No morrisons have more revenue per store. If number of stores didn't come into it tesco would be no.1 by far.

Show me your sources please.

I do not like Morrison's . My local store is grubby, the staff are sullen and often rude and that cafe always has dirty tables.

The prices are vastly inflated and the quality of most of their own brand products are questionable.

I prefer Waitrose - their essentials basic range beats a Morrison's savers range hands down on quality. I like the calmness of Waitrose the calm environment, excellent customer service and clean cafe. You just do not get that in Morison's

I shop in Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Ocado both in store and online ..

Small stores/express stores/convenience I.e. tesco express, sainsburys local e.t.c. have 50-70% than large stores. You can use that adjustment to divide revenue per store, which morrisons comes out on top

Again I think this is a reflection of your town/village, even putting the morrisons brand there is some areas just can't be Turned around due to the personell

I'll have you know my self-service till skills are top class. I can breeze through a Tesco's self-service till with nary a delay. Sainsbury's? Like a charm. Asda? Bad. Morrisons? Bloody awful. I might as well have just tried scanning my face with the bar-code reader.

Yeah, I went there in a stripey sweater once and had to pay £4.75 to get myself out of the shop...

billybear · 06/09/2024 22:42

i used to shop at morrisons most weeks, have the app on my mobile was building up extra reward point ie money off , but last few months the choice of piuck 10 from the selection on the app of what i buy a lot to boost my points has been shocking only maybe 3 or 4 out of 10 i actually buy,ie fresh juice/frozen aunt bessies food, before i struggled to get my choice to 10. so i think it has gone down hill

TidalShore · 06/09/2024 22:42

I'm sure Morrisons is the biggest store. If you're in Gibraltar. England, Scotland, Wales and NI though, well I'm not convinced!

Our local Morrisons is quite good though. Sainsbury's has gone downhill here. And Asda is tatty. I mostly shop at Aldi.

Could you delve deeper? What was the issue you faced exactly?

It is.... but only at reduced yellow sticker time!
It's far too expensive and their rewards card is a complete waste of time

You do realise it's a supermarket, why are you basing judgement of the app. The app stuff is just a minor side bonus. Why don't you appreciate all the good they do in serving the nation with the freshest locally produced affordable produce

I read some where that morrisons are getting rid of the self service tills. I don't remember where I read it though. I don't like the loyalty scheme any more it seems to not give me much these days being single again. A lot of staff are unhappy with pay these days. Some staff are really helpful, and talkative.

I read they're going to get rid of all the tills and we'll just have to shoplift like British Bulldog, survival of the fittest...

(Actually, that does pretty much describe my local Morrisons)...

OP do you buy all your clothes from their Nutmeg range?

FuckThePoPo · 06/09/2024 22:51

Morrisons was good when it was Safeway - I still have a few of their green packing crates! Since it became Morrisons it's bloody warehousey, cold and dark

No but we can look at facts and see that maybe our opinion doesn't really "add up" and maybe be a little more open minded

That's manned checkouts not self checkout you have it the wrong way round. And it's not definite yet they are considering their options.

Get a clue! Asda and Sainsburys are more expensive than Morrisons!!! 😆

Tell me you haven't been to Morrisons in many years, without telling me you haven't been to Morrisons in many years!

The stupidity of this response, and failure to appreciate that it is a joke, demonstrates, quite clearly, along with the bizarre writing style, that we are not engaging with a living being here!
