to think Morrison's is the Home of Scumminess?

[RevoltingPeasant]

There is a Morrison's on my way home from work, so I swing by to pick up essential cheapo petrol etc.

Last week, the woman behind me in the queue had:
-multipack of WKD Blue
-multipack of Red Stripe
-Tena Lady pads

• cigarettes

-cough syrup And she was debating with her DP whether or not the syrup also contained alcohol.

Last night, I went in to pick up some juice, and the man standing by the display picked one up, opened it, drank from it, said 'Ahh that's better', winked at me, and continued shopping

Plus every second person is missing at least three teeth. But it is cheap....

YABU because I shop there & am not scummy.

Sounds like it's the area you live in rather than the actual chain of stores.

How did she have cigarettes in the queue?

Prejudiced much? My local morrisons is fine.

There are good and bad. That sounds like our nearest Asda TBH. Local Morrisons is full of older people gassing but the one in the next town is huge, and very nice.

Not in Woking it isn't. They have Samphire and Romensco Broccoli and Rambutans. To name but a few, as I don't remember the names of all the fancy stuff in the fruit and veg section.

What Worra said - the cigarettes are behind the counter. I don't believe you... that should be a new MN campaign, I think, for exaggeraters and embellishers devoid of anything interesting to say....

At every shop, supermarket and petrol station I know, the fags are in the display behind the counter, so how did the woman behind you in the queue have some?

Do some supermarkets not have to obey the law?

Mine is very nice, just eating the yummiest doughnut - or does that make me a scummy .

Perhaps you'd better stick to Waitrose - personally I like shopping at both .

Bugger - cross posted again

Worra - had just bought them at desk and lining up with other shopping.

I shop there too member! That's why I was in there. Still hate it though.

Ace depends where you are, I guess. I used to use the one in Leeds which was like the Night of the Damned - all swearing pensioners and 3yos with facial piercings........

Our local Morrisons is far from Scummy- how can a shop with such a wonderful range of bread be called scummy

cigarettes in the queue

Our morrisons isn't scummy.

Do you live in a 'scummy' area maybe?

No all supermarkets over a certain size have to put the cigarettes in the slidey wardrobe thing that can only be opened for 7 seconds.

I used to shop at morrisons when I lived near one. It was fab, really nice food and the people were fine. Must just be where you live.

storm - yes - Plymouth

It's so nice to have people to look down on isn't it OP? You sound like a real charmer.

How DID she have cigarettes in the queue? Surely they are kept behind the counter? Or was that detail made up?

YABU.

There are far too many even in Leeds to make assumptions like that OP.

Horsforth morrisons is full of very naice people

Cigarettes are behind the counter, cough syrup is something most of us buy at some point, tena lady is not really considered scummmy and haven't you ever bought alcohol from the supermarket?
My local morrisons is lovely, very big and no scummy people at all!

If it bothers you-don't shop there again.

Even worse OP. I'm giving you a 'cos my mum lives in Leeds, shops in the Morrisons in Leeds and I don't recognise her, or any of my friends and family from your description of the customers.

If you don't like it, don't shop there.

Central Leeds MissKeith! Ever been in that one? Best thing about not being a student anymore was never having to shop there again.....

YABU

in my town ASDA is the Home of Scumminess

reolting not my experience of Plymouth Morrisons and am at you describing Plymouth as scummy tis a lovely place to live. perhaps a few too many snobs for my liking but a lovely city. shame on you

It must be the area you live in...our Morrisons is nothing like that.
