McColl's

I never ever write reviews but i'm making an exception for the terrible service the staff here offer. I have never in my life experienced such rude and unprofessional shop workers. On multiple occasions i've been served by staff whilst they're on the phone to someone. I recently went in to hear the checkout worker swear at that fact people had come in just before closing. in addition ive also been shouted out for coming in when they're about to close. I could not rate the staff here any lower.

Very nice place

Last time I went in it was a co-op and as with the agreement with transition some items seem to still be sold that are cooperative branded. Staff friendly and a good range of stock for a convenience stores; some good offers to be sought. Shop in need of stock replenishment & it’s a shame that the washing liquid tabs have to be stored away from customers due to high levels of theft but still that’s not the stores fault. Would return if in the area.

Staff are a bit rude and seem to be more ruder to POC than English customers, so it can make the shopping experience a bit unpleasant

Your standard overpriced convenience store, but gets some points for having a free-to-withdraw cash machine inside.

Staff here are very friendly. Clean shop

This place used to be a Co-Op and, for a convenience store, it was a minor miracle: a fair selection of healthy & vegetarian food, plus all the gak (sugary stuff) you could hope for, but a decent choice of high quality gak... Haagen Dasz (sp?), Green & Black's, & I mean bottles of Purdey's, ffs! Now they don't even do Cadbury's Instant Hot Chocolate & only 1 flavour of Ben & Jerry's; vegetarian ready-meals? Don't make me laugh! No, the place has gone right down hill since McColl's took over. About the only thing I go in there for anymore is 50g pouches of tobacco & the only reason it gets 3* instead of 2 is because it's open from 07:00-23:00 every day. Oh yeah, & it's more expensive than the Co-Op was or the Sainsbury's Local nr the cinema is, it's just that walking all the way back, up the hill with groceries, from Sainsbury's is a real pain in the behind, back, legs & feet for a disabled person like myself who can hardly walk due to pain... so yeah, now you get why I've got a real bitterness on with McColl's!

Small convince store has all basic things you may need as a student.
