Sainsburys Reviews 

The Sainsbury's Local on Carholme Road in Lincoln, LN1 1RR lists free ATM withdrawals as a service provided for their customers. Cant say I agree. Earlier this evening I went to use the ATM to withdraw £50 - the machine returned my card a little too quickly and went into "processing transaction " mode without stopping . The machine did not give out my cash but nonetheless has taken it from my account. It seems people had this happen on a number of occasions according to the security people out side the store. Do not use the ATM ( a NoteMachine) at this store. AVOID.

Avoid the Stamford street toilet paper at sainsburys like the plague
It's scented and causes a terrible reaction, have had to go back to the one I normally use

They refused to allow withdrawal but grateful to above name mentioned in display picture. for making sure all my pending withdrawal was possible..

Went to Sainsbury’s today had a damaged pomegranate which was no big deal. I just asked if they could get me a new one. said that would be absolutely fine. She said just help yourself and took the one from my hand. Then I go to leave the store and get a security guard in my face. Another customer whale was in aggressively saying yeah I saw him and now apparently I’m banned from the store, because I told the security guard to get out of my face.

Never again ! I called in at my local Sainsbury’s to get some fresh fruit and groceries. Absolutely no problem with the quality or price which I have to say is always good.BUT no checkout after 4.00 apparently. I had no idea that senior citizens or disabled people had been placed under a curfew.
I struggled with the self service till with a great deal of discomfort and pain due to my health issues. The two staff members were deep in conversation and clearly were not to be disturbed.
It took me just over an hour to spend £28.00 leaving me in a great deal of pain for the rest of the day.
So Sainsbury another loyal customer lost

This review is specifically for the Bracknell Bagshot Road branch. I have been visiting this store for many years and I cannot say how disgusted I have been recently by its attitude towards customers. I wont mention the obsession they have for moving products around - every few months! Apparently, and this seems to be an official policy, at certain times of the day if you want to pay for your shopping at a checkout you have to go and search for a member of staff and ask them kindly if they would not mind opening a checkout for you. Even just standing there is not enough to suggest you might want to pay. Today, and not the first time I walked half way across the store to ask a member of staff called Chrissy (wears a face mask) to be 'allowed' to pay. I was immediately met with an attitude and made to feel like I was interrupting her very important task. I say again, it is policy that customers must ASK to pay at a checkout - wow! In any case I am now using up my nectar points and in a couple of weeks will shop at Tesco. I would urge others to do the same. They have more checkouts and they put staff on them. Sainsburys, please stop treating your customers with contempt. And tell your store managers to stop hiding behind their deputies when a customers asks to see them.

I bought a aloo saag today but was very disappointed as the potato was not cooked really spoilt the meal.

I ordered a delivery with chop chop the fast delivery, I ordered, paid my shopping was packed and picked up by a delivery driver, he never came to my address instead sent me random texts that he was going to cancel my order,he asked me to go outside, I live in a first floor flat and it was cold outside, he was nowhere in my carpark, he cancelled my shopping, when I rang customer services they said I'd get a refund within 5 days but if I wanted my shopping would have to re order and pay again! I didn't have enough money to do that.
After many calls to customer services and being given head office numbers that don't exist and speaking to countless customer service personnel I asked fir a transcript of my calls, still waiting and don't expect to get, Sainsbury's is the worst customer service that I have ever come across,

I just wanted to say that Robert who delivered my groceries today was exceptional in that he went away and came back when I was running late and was prepared to wait for me. He was very professional, kind and helpful order number 1137678284 Hazel Tomlinson In Maidenhead today 3-4pm drop off. A great asset to your company.

I've had some positive and negative experiences with Sainsbury's delivery

Parking eye issued a fine to my mother in October 2023. We supplied evidence of payment made and the ticket issued (with an incorrect reg by their machine). PE still chasing and harassing my 87 year old mother, who has a pacemaker, by phone and lettter via their debt collection agency. Wrote to Simon Roberts, CEO of Sainsbury's. His office said that parking is a separate matter that they do not involve themselves with. Head office apparently have a parking department, but it still took the executive officer more than a month and a half to find this out from them. There must be extremely l9ng corridors at head office and very little basic technology, like phones We can find no evidence of the email that this officer allegedly sent my mother informing her of this inability/unwillingness/lack of interest to get involved. The line given to me was that there is no relationship between parking eye and Sainsbury's, despite the car park being used by their customers, and the indisputable fact that Sainsbury's use this car park to 'park' (sic) their trollies.
This is the worst attitude to customer service that I could imagine. What care? What support of the local community? What customer service?
I am beyond disgusted!

I ask myself how much does it cost to make a phone call to a customer???
Had a delivery booked for today and to my surprise no delivery made to me even though they charged me.
When the time elapsed for my delivery I contacted the helpline who advised me after speaking to the Calcot Store they knew it was not going to be delivered as they had issues outside the store stopping the vans departing. So why didn't someone pick up the phone to let me know?
Very poor customer service. I think I will sticking with ASDA in the future.
Order no.1129414610

Refund website no longer works

Customer service outsourced to some God for saken place.

Agency answers the phone don't know what they're doing.

Can't process simple refunds or help you with anything.

Useless

I think most people are aware that inflation is currently just over 2%. Why then, are Sainsburyprices rising at a rare qell above 2%? I noted that Sainsbury's own plain chocolate bar is now priced at £2.60. This is outrageous! Not so long ago this same bar of chocolate was £1.60! Other prices have risen by well over the inflation rate, another example being oat milk what is going on? This is sheer profiteering and should be stopped.

Seriously
I don't buy ANY FOOD from sainsbury or any other supermarket anymore because of cost and low quality ingredients half portion sizes but I need things like flour and pet food etc.
Honestly today had zero cake or icing mixes absolutely nothing it was all out of stock 8 items for baking missing.
I mean it's a f"""n joke.
Why not mark it out of stock or even better if you know your catering for the masses Why not have any f"""n stock?????
Every time I shop on line you always have at least 8 to 15 items missing and I don't even buy food.
I'm telling everyone to boycott supermarket chains until they start looking after customers again and go grass fed and support farmers loads deliver now and it's the freshest meat you will ever eat.
You can buy potatoes and veg on line now to and farmers need your support more than ever.
They want to end farming and bring in 3d printed meat with absolutely no goodness whatsoever.
People are even eating plant based b.s and I've seen that chemically based cr@p being made and it's far from being anything plant.
Stand up for yourselves uk 🇬🇧 if you don't you are going to regret that decision.

Where's the 12 pound discount codes 🤔

I've not received one since opening my account 3 months ago.
Customer service says you only receive a welcome 12 pound voucher and that's it.
On my last account with them I received loads so that's a lie.

I don't buy food from any supermarket anymore I buy my meat from farmison & Co beautiful fresh meat delivered to your door.
The chicken is unreal no water still fresh even has blood in the packaging from how fresh it is.
Mince beef beautiful and tender and safe.
If you buy supermarket meat it's full of water and the Mince comes from over 100 cattle which isn't good and the meat comes from farms that treat animals terribly so they suffer trauma which you then eat that trauma which has no goodness to it at all.
Buy from farmer's they need all the help they can get right now.
Yes it's more expensive but it's a small price to pay to feel safe and happy with what is going in your body.

Supermarkets are absolutely disgusting now giving low quality ingredients smaller portions at double the price.
Make a change people it's up to you before we lose everything to greedy supermarket chains only we can change things.

Robbers and thieves with sell by dates only a day left to use the food's.
Vegetables are soft and only lasts a few days when they should last for a few weeks definitely not British products like they say.
I've spoken with farmer's who tell me none of it is British they just slap on a label like red tractor and we fall for it.
Take back control only we can change things if we don't it's on your heads for putting up with it.

Must be the worst supermarket I’ve visited since visiting Russia back in the 80’s !!! . Vegetables were not fit for human consumption, I wouldn’t feed them to animals , dried up soft boxes of carrots, parsnip, garlic and ginger with zero moisture in them! Courgettes were eaten by some snail or something! Shame on you Sainsbury’s !! . Spoke to duty manager who said he will remove all items but why are they on sale ! Blood in the chicken display counter … horrendous.. avoid at all costs

For the attention of CEO Simon Roberts. On visiting your store at Pontyclun mid Glamorgan s.wales I was just in the store for a matter of a few minutes and I was met by two young security guards that asked me to a-company them to the office to receive a ban from Sainsbury’s in total shock I promptly put my shopping basket down and followed these two young guards to the office and as we entered it I was offered a seat while one of these young chaps left the room and in about five mins reappeared with a open letter to myself stating the details of my ban. I got out of my chair and I asked them what am I getting banned for and he said that all the details are in the letter and picked it up and offered it to me to take with me’ I said that I don’t want it because I’ve done nothing wrong and one of them said that I was making some of the staff feel uncomfortable wile hanging around near the fridges when shopping’ I stated that I was waiting for a chance to use the fridges and nothing else, the to guard were probably just the messengers I think as they were not prepared to listen to anything that I had to say and asked me to leave the store with them, they were very insistent on making sure that they both escorted me right off the property and walked me right up to my car witch was parked quite a way up into the car park and insisted that they take a picture of my numberplate off the car. The whole experience has left me feeling “completely dehumanised and shocked” +++don’t trust this company to keep you safe while visiting their stores+++

Disgusting Customer Service at Sainsbury's Fulham. Surly unhelpful staff member, calls for security when I asked to speak to his manager, then falsely accused me of swearing at him! Security staff member unable to call for manager. Came to do my weekly shop, got treated like some criminal. Disgraceful, disgusting service does not deserve any custom at all!

your chicken wafer caused myself and my husband severe diarrhea and vomiting that we had to seek medical help from our G.P. who confirmed it was food poisoning and advised us to complain strongly for other consumers to be vigilant.. your standard of hygiene must be (Nil).. you should be named and shamed.
