Are you a supermarket snob?

We shop in Asda and generally just buy Asda brand where avaliable

But we do go into M&S for a few specific bits and pieces which are surprisingly good value and I can't deny their food is (generally) just nicer - we buy bread and stuff from M&S and it's surprisingly cheap

But the core weekly shop is always Asda. My town has a Tesco and Sainsbury's but we never set foot in either. Couldn't tell you why tbh

For me it’s not so much the foods but the persons who inhabit them. I enjoy Waitrose, M&S and even Sainsburys as they aren’t full of chavs. I dislike being around chavvy people and if that makes me a snob then so be it!

You need to move to a better part of the country then, even Poundland here has polite upstanding gentry.

I'm a snob, I don't like the colour scheme or the uniforms in ASDA. Tesco's is too bright and their finest range is not good enough. Sainsbury's near me never has staff on the checkout and is too small and why is everything orange?

Luckily we have Booths which costs a lot more but has the best staff who take their time at the checkout and a nice colour scheme and their products are similar to M&S and Waitrose. It's an enjoyable experience and I place value in that as it's my time being spent. It's expensive though and I do go to Tesco's 50% of the time, aint made of money!

Do you not use the self-scan? I've never used a checkout person in about 5 years.
It's soo much faster packing as you scan around the shop, then just pay n leave.

I probably use Tesco the most out of ease as it's at the end of my road but, I can stop at Marks and Asda en route home from work, and I'm not afraid of a lil journey if I know something is more likely to be available at Sainos, Lidl or Aldi.

If i rated them though it's mostly on the people which is often location based, the Aldi by my Mums in Buxton is vastly nicer than the one in Fenton in Stoke, but also the veg quality is dire at Asda and Morrisons and not much better in Tesco

M&S, Waitrose
Sainsbury
Aldi,LidL (if they have self service I live alone and can't be dealing with the chaos of queueing behind full family shops)
Tesco
ASDA
Morrisons
 
Sainsburys for me as it's quite close and I like their click and collect and nectar deals. 2nd choice Morrisons as I like a lot if their iwn brand stuff.
 
Yes/no.

I try not to go into my local Asda. The dregs of society are there - and that's just the staff! The clientele are even worse.

I usually go to Tesco, occasionally Lidl, where, surprisingly, the calibre of people in both are vastly superior to the gutter dwellers that frequent Asda.. Morrisons is a mile closer, where they have delusions of grandeur with their Waitrose-esque prices, so I tend to avoid that at all costs.

Honestly, I'm probably just being grumpy but i resent the fact the supermarkets are making me scan and then pack in a small area. I want them to do some work for the prices they charge.
