I just can't get away with these ginormous warehouse type supermarkets:o

I visited an S today that used to be my regular weekly supermarket. It's had a total refurbishment in recent years and has got to be almost double in size. I am only slightly exaggerating to say that it's almost impossible to see it from one end to the other.
It used to be a fairly pleasant shopping experience and now it's awful.

The echoing acoustics and cool temperatures make me want to get out quick. The place looks deserted. There's no ambience.

I remembered back to an occasion years ago when I was getting the big food shop in just before Christmas. I knew most of the staff and recognised the voice of the lady doing the voice over. She was wishing everyone a happy Christmas and I remember feeling all warm and fuzzy.

I feel the marketing guys have got it all wrong:o

Does anyone else feel the same or is it just me?

I had problems with that big T in the beginning - my first visit actually made me feel I shouldn't have gone there alone!

And the massive MS in Cheshire Oaks is just too much...

Delurking to report mystery fizz (6 for £50) available @ Mr T, the mystery whites lasting well, but where are the reds when you want them?

Oh no.....if only I wasn't doing dry jan.....and Frugal Jan too......what bad timing:o

Having said that we still have plenty of Prosecco left over from Christmas. Did anyone try the Cremante from S......it was seriously good:)

Yes but I'd bought it earlier:)

Also received another more expensive one as a gift and we had it on Christmas day:)

I have a photo somewhere
