Don't Get Rid Of High Street Stores Just Yet!
Don't Get Rid Of High Street Stores Just Yet! (This review is for Streatham Sainsbury's - 480 Streatham High Road SW16 3PY) Whilst on a homemade 'sourdough bread' quest, I needed some semolina flour. (I used it before for easing pizza dough from the kneading board - but my semolina packet was well out of date!) Someone online says Sainsbury's 'grind' gives the best result when making sourdough bread. So Sainsbury's it had to be - when I hate shopping - doing most of my shopping online. Trying to find such a specialist item was the needle in the haystack. Until a smiling 'Kinjal' walked by. He knew instantly where it should be: left for the small quantity or right for the kilo size. And he went the extra mile to escort me to the right place. Even though the 'flour' section had been recently reorganized - he quickly located it. He did so willingly and smilingly - he didn't have to be asked twice - he just helped! Making this rare visit made me realise that it could be a relaxed and less of a chore - when someone like Kinjal is willing to help - contrary to my feared expectations. It must be something about this Streatham store that staff are so helpful - because on using the self-checkouts, Rina spotted my six trays and instead of me having to put them through individually - she used her key and made a block entry leaving them in my basket! So leaving the store with a smile - after such a relaxed experience (and having collected a clothes order from the in-store Argos) it made my day! I just might have to do it again! Especially as I was given an (unexpiring - I think) Nectar voucher. With helpful staff like Kinjal and Rina - High Street Stores just might survive! Thank you to both!
