Praise and thanks to Sainsburys

Had a problem a few weeks ago accessing my local Sainsburys car park. The car park is shared by other shops; although Sainsburys is the biggest retailer and beneficiary.

Complained via email to the Sainsburys CEO. After a few email exchanges with their executive team, I got a £20 gift card sent to me.

Gift card, vouchers and generous car park ticket used today to get my shopping from my local Sainsburys.

Many thanks and praise Sainburys !:money::money::)

    Gordi.....I will give you a clue where I shop. My local council charges me 80p parking for 1hr for shopping at Sainsburys. 2hrs would cost £1-60.

    Sainsburys give me £1-60 back after shopping in their store as long as I am within the 1hr limit.

    I have also got vouchers for the next few weeks giving me £2-00 back each week as long as I spend at least £20-00 during each shopping trip.

    Worked it out yet ?

    In what way did you have trouble accessing the car park?

    Was the entrance blocked in some way?
  • I love this site... there's one beautiful feature that I have recently learned about, now whenever there is spam about emailing the CEO all I see is:
    This message is hidden because sirmarcus is on your ignore list,

    No doubt this is sirmarcus talking about a recent escapade where he allegedly emailed the CEO and got something out of it.

    This is funny, twice in 24 hours I've now seen a post about Sirmarcus being on someones ignore list. I wonder if he holds the record on MSE for being on more ignore lists than anyone else? :rotfl:
