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....

Sadly not storm...........

There are in the city centre shopping precinct though

That is like M & S here, not that I can afford to shop there.

It's the people not the supermarket .

Used to work in one and it was a great place to work.

I had a bit of a fling with a guy in the navy, went down to portsmouth once, lots of gorgeous men in uniform

I think it depends on the area. I work near a nice Morrisons - a 'flagship' store, apparently.

But it's in a slightly ropey area, so has a high proportion of Jeremy Kylers.

Must admit the centre Leeds one in a bit ropey and definitely needs a make over. But the same people will go in. Don't see anything scummy about those items. And cigarettes are put in a bag or they should be.

Just depends where it is. My local Morrisons is between the supermarket and the university. As a result, most of the clientele is about 19, and stocking up on cheap pizza, cereal, pot noodles, whatever lager is on offer, and lots of chocolate....

Between the halls of residence and the university, that is.

The Morrisons is scummy where we live too.

I think it's just the area it happens to be in, I don't hold it against Morrisons personally

YABU the ASDA near me is awful.

I second Choccypig's defence of Woking. I love the Woking Morrisons - it has the most unbelieveable fresh fruit and vet section with chillers full of veg from all corners of the world, all being kept cool by some gentle mist being wafted over them - it is truly a marvel!!
From there you meander into a deli type area with fresh meat and fish counters...
Everything is clean and every time I go in there I bump into the yummier mummies from our school (who must have deserted the nearby Waitrose in droves)
Far less scummy then the Sainsbury's in the village along which is rapidly becoming a scum-fest of the highest order!

One day you may understand the deep and dreadful connection between Lady Tena and cough syrup.

I love Morrisons, I really love them. Has anyone of the Leeds lot tried the one in Kirkstall? It's bigger than the town centre store, and has a (quite okayish if you have low standards) cafe.

I love the fish you can get in Morrisons, and the greater range of fruit and veg. I have found the veg much nicer and a lot fresher than Mr S. However, they don't deliver and I don't get out much.

Not sure whether it's the area or Morrisons itself but I hate going there.
The hot food counter with it's 50 nuggets for a £1, buckets of mini donuts, mini buns and other crap. A million types of stodgy looking oversized loaves of bread often with some sort of cheese or weird topping. The 'deli' counter, unhygenic mass produced mayonaise based 'stuff'. Oh and the cafe...
Actually I think it is Morrisons as I can think of 3 I have been to and they're all the same.
YANBU OP.

Ok, I know I've exaggerated a bit :o

zukie seriously? Bloody hell!

I think this post is full of Shit, Morrisons in Hunslet don't even sell alcohol on the main shop floor and have a separate area for it where you have to be over 21 to go in.

You are not only BU you are also being a twat.

What's the tena lady cough syrup connection?!

I know other supermarkets sell the same type of stuff but it's the quantity of rubbish for sale. Bulk buying at knock down prices.

Tesco is scum where I live. The Morrisons attracts a colourful range of people but the butcher there is good and I like the fruit and veg.

We don't all have a Waitrose in town.

Ooh choccyp1g, I've been looking everywhere for samphire. My husband will be really pleased with me now! Thanks

I need to know the cough syrup/Tena Lady connection.

Ooh I see a new newspaper column: Scummy Mummy.

Coughing makes you 'leak' doesn't take a genius

Buttery, perhaps stress incontinence? Coughing makes her Widdle? Why this makes her scummy though god only knows....
