Tesco Express

Only been here twice to grab some bits and bobs for my grandad. Seems good for anyone who wants to grab some food quickly without having to go to a big supermarket. Service seems pretty good and quick.

I’ve never had a problem when in this shop… saw some poor member of staff getting abuse once… he handled it extremely well. He always smiles whenever i’ve been in… couldnt tell you what his name is though…

The problem I have with the Tesco Express in Chapel Allerton is that it makes me forget I’m actually in a petrol station shop. Granted, it’s a Tesco petrol station shop, but when you get down to it the place isn’t actually much bigger than your average Shell store. And yet, I manage to come away from there feeling a little annoyed that they didn’t have the particular kind of sliced fresh bread I was after.
That is, surely, a testament to how well stocked the place is. It has fresh baked goods, veg, snacks, a strong range of chilled (tasty!) ready meals and meats, magazines and newspapers, a freezer section and a decent amount of dry and canned goods. Yes, I said fresh baked goods. Yes, a petrol station with fresh brownies! Basically, there’s enough there to fool you into thinking you’re in a proper (if very compact) supermarket, which is no bad thing.
In terms of petrol, the pricing is fair while the number of pumps ensures that you rarely have to wait more than a minute or two to fill up.
All in all, I’m very glad Tesco Express is in easy reach of my house.

Not had the pleasure of running into the ‘rude manager’ referred to below, which is nice, but have found the staff to be a bit on the grumpy side each time I’ve been in. Which means I now play secret game I like to call ‘Let’s make the Tesco person smile today!’ but I haven’t won it yet. One of them yawned at me on Friday, which was nice.
Anyway, I shall continue to shop here on account of it is a very convenient place for me to buy yum yums. And Easter eggs. And petrol (at a higher price than I like to pay but again, it’s convenient).

Erm, petrol and pre packed convince. What more could you want? What’s that you say, rude manager? Check.
