Sainsbury's

Sainsbury's supermarket has worst customers service staff
They know nothing at all.
Useless staff needs more training.
I asked where is my order which was supposed to be delivered yesterday. This morning I called and was lied to me that I would be delivered this evening.
Theu stole my money but did not deliver. Sainsbury's is a thief. Taking advantage of a vulnerable person like me.

Completely disgusted with Sainsbury's customers support team

I have been a loyal customer of Sainsbury's and Argos for many years now, spending more than £7 thousand each year at their shops and petrol stations. I do all my weekly and fuel shops with them and regularly shop during the week too for up to 4-5 times per week. I was completely disappointed today with their customer support team as they wouldn't help me cancel an unfair parking charge for £60 at one of their car parks! My family and I will never again spend a penny in their shops and petrol stations! It's not about the £60 penalty but their complete disregard of regular customers loyalty! Better avoid!

"I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to share my recent experience. I ordered garlic online, but what arrived was mouldy and inedible, consisting of only dry layers, which left me utterly disappointed. What truly troubles me isn't the nominal cost, but the way I, a disabled woman, was treated during my attempt to voice my concern. The response was far from compassionate.

I don't seek a mere refund; my real need is the garlic itself. I've planned for tomorrow, when my caregiver will prepare meals that will sustain me for a week. As a housebound individual, I rely on deliveries for essentials like this, and I can't make a trip to buy garlic.

To make matters worse, the person I spoke to on the phone when I tried to explain my situation was shockingly rude and refused to provide their name. This treatment is deeply hurtful, especially considering my circumstances.

I kindly request your understanding and assistance in not just refunding my money, but in ensuring I receive the garlic I need for tomorrow. Your empathy in resolving this matter would mean the world to me, as I face the challenge of being disabled and housebound.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns."

Used their stock checker and it turned out to be untrue. Phoned customer care, complaints dept and a few other numbers and got nowhere. Also filled in 4 or 5 surveys for after calls and heard nothing. Have been treat dismally as no one has dealt with the problem or offered any kind of satisfactory outcome.

The poor care of plants and potted flowers is hard to watch and I don't understand how this corporation expects customer to pay full prace fir dead or dying plants. Please consider paying more attention to this aspect a reduce the price accordingly so that they don't end up being wasted in the skip. Plants can talk, but they are living things. If a company can't look after them, they should not be selling them.

Sainsbury's is a typical big business that makes it virtually impossible to submit a complaint. Go online and try to find a way of doing so! It is not only do they NOT care about customers, they probably derive pleasure in frustrating them. I wanted to leave a complaint about very poor packaging of one of their products but was (most frustrating and annoying me) unable to do so. Their systems are shortsighted as such annoyance forces customers to go online (& instead of just submitting the complaints to them directly) and leave complaints and bad reviews on platforms like Sitejabber. Additionally, it forces customers to go to their competitors that are both better at customer service and better priced (which is not difficult). Really stupid!

Probably the worst customer service I have ever had. This company including the CEO Simon Roberts could not care less about 2 88 year olds being defrauded on Sainsbury's premises. I was told "what do you want us to do about it" and "it's nothing to do with us". How shameful that they think it doesn't matter when the vulnerable are scammed in a Sainsbury's store.

Now they are so arrogant that they refuse to reply to me - utterly disgraceful!

On a number of occasions over the past few years the local some of the sraff of the local sainsburys store have had a 'pop' at myself, or just been unhelpful - just because on the surface of it, as follows

* One even though I was standing directly in front of her and non-verbally indicating I needed assistance, jusr stood there making sure her hand were nice and germ free, and when challanged she said "she did not respond to non-verbal communication" - make of that what you will.

* One woman blocked my way, ordered myself to go another way to get to the self-service tills, and she added that I was standing to close to her for her liking.

* Same woman, when she knew I was trying to catch her name on the badge she was wearing, just walked past practically shouting her name and pointing to her badge.

* Another woman, jumped backward to avoid being too close to myself - as ff I was contaminated.

* This is what started the treatment or the first incident; I was leaving the store, and just outside was a queue of people waiting to be allowed to enter, with at the head of the queue an old woman who asked the male employee whwther it was safe to enter, and as I was passing the male employee said to the woman "it is safe to enter madam 'now'" to which they both s$#*!ed.

There are more, but the point is that almost every incident was reported either to the head office over the telephone or directly to the management of the store - to this day all those people still work at the store, something of which I have intimated to the head office with maybe the management of the store and the wider management are discriminatory, after all they seem to be allowing this treatment to continue.

PS One thing I forget to mention is that I look different to others, only added to explain the treatment of myself.

Ordered sainsburys order yesterday. An hour before delivery tried to log into my account to see where delivery was and it said i entered the wrong password too many times. Then got an email saying my order was cancelled. After a short and abrupt phone call was told my order was not coming because my account is under investigation. I payed using my card in my name to my address what fraud can i be committing? No shopping= going somewhere else from now on!

Beef we bought a week ago looked OK on the surface but when it was cooked it produced a gristly stew which we found inedible

Went this week and Sainsburys salad cream has now gone up
To £1.15 A month ago it was 90p
That's a 25% increase Inflation is not 25% Feels like we are being ripped off by the supermarkets big time

This company does not understand the meaning of Customer Service. It is the worst of any supermarket. Poor quality produce and products and misleading information when one can eventually find a phone number to call. How did CEO land his job? He clearly does not shop at Sainsbury!

I went to Hedge End Sainsburys. Granted they are moving the store around, but surely this shouldn't affect the freshness of their fruits and vegetables? Most of the vegetables looked very close to their use by date. I stood by the banana section whilst a guy was replacing the bananas. I waited for a minute and a half before I asked if he could move his trolley so I could select some bananas - he did this most ungraciously and left me only a small gap to squeeze through. Wonderful service, thanks. All this is not conducive to shopping there again.

Racially profiled by security guards, harassed, verbally abused, and physically threatened... what did Sainsbury's do... nothing. 10 months later after public pressure, they are now conducting an investigation... avoid!

Some very good products, But a little bit expensive

I ordered and paid for cup cakes for my granddaughters 2nd birthday we arranged a time to pick up, I received an email saying your cakes are ready to pick up.well the staff in shop was very embarrassed to say tge order was not there.
We we were having the party that morning and could get last minute replacements.
I rang customer service their people skills are terrible I could hear a dog barking in the back round trying to have a conversation and she was not one bit sympathetic.
Oh my goodness I was outraged, so Sainsbury's you are an utter disgrace and need to stop doing food, flowers because your total pants at delivering goods, And I want my money back I've had no refund yet get it sorted you were fast enough to take it PS I only give 1star should of had piles of you would of got 20+ of those

I was trying to order some items for collection but the website kept on directing me to a delivery slot even after confirming a collection slot. Who designed this web site needs to go back to year 1 at school and learn how to design a user friendly website. Why the homeware goods are limited to a particular store and not a separate national online shop like, say next for example, and keep food and homeware separate.

We voted with our feet today and ordered online from Tesco instead - Sainsbury's have no customer service, rude telephone agents (one of whom told me to shut up when I complained of mouldy food and ridiculous substitutions). They refused to refund my credit card charge I'd incurred for goods never order but delivered in multiples (!) and said if I'm not happy with substitutions (I shop for elderly neighbours) I should wake them up at 6am on a Sunday to check they're OK with substitutions. Seriously? Avoid them folks - they're vile profiteers who couldn't care less about wasting our hard-earned money.

My online order was never delivered. They never reached out. When I called, they finally admitting that the order was never delivered and they would issue the refund within 5 to 10 working days. The refund never arrived, so I called again. After several phone calls where they hung up on me or put on hold for hours, I managed to open a second case, once again they told me the store manager would contact me to apologise and confirm the refund, it never happened. I disputed the transaction with my bank and the supermarket rejected my query saying that the order was delivered. I am currently on hold, over 65 minutes waiting to be transferred to the complaint department. Really poor customer service, trying to get money for orders that have never been delivered. I am shocked.

Sainsbury's recent excessive pandering to "plant based" diets is just the tip of the iceberg with their idiotic policies. My bugbear is why they decided to try to make all the meat "fat free" - trying to buy a decent steak that has not been excessively trimmed is a challenge. They already utterly destroyed their hot rotisserie counter by serving previously delicious ham hock devoid of all its wonderful fat, crisped on the outside - the principal pleasure of this delicacy. After trying to sell vandalized fat free hocks, that looked like little trussed rats, they gave up all together. Why, why, why, must they meddle with good food? It reeks of some idiotic executive decision to pander to all the worst nonsense of spurious health agendas and self-congratulatory "Wokeness". Please can they get back to selling good, honest, untampered with food?

Sainsburys at Mere Green... Wednesday morning... filled trolley with shopping and moved to check out.
Many long queues to TWO checkout operators. Hard to imagine but 15mins later still waiting to pay.
The wait provided some entertainment as we watched our frozen food start to thaw.
The many queues now became two and still we waited.
I asked a member of staff "Is this the best you can do"
She said " I have told them but they just walk off"

Sainsburys are advertising... we price match with Aldii

I am saying... customer sevice match with Aldi.

I will not shop at sainsburys ever again. They don't want customers.

Cancelled my food delivery 1 hour before the scheduled time! This is ridiculous, as I am self-isolation and cannot go to the physical store. The next available delivery slots are few days away. What am I suppose to eat until then? On top of that, I used my 2 GBP coupon for the order, which I did not get back after the delivery cancelation! They did not even offered a new slot, instead they told me to reorder each item again because they cannot see my order details. Easily, 1 star review.

Ripping off a dead bloke! Poor show Sainsburys!
My 94 year old father in law died of cancer on Tuesday. Sainsburys had happily cancelled his delivery pass bought at the end of November 2021, when contacted on 11 March after he'd been moved to care. They said they'd issue a refund for the unused portion, in line with their guarantee that no delivery pass customer will lose out if they don't realise the full value of their annual pass. Now, and having not issued any refund, they categorically refuse to issue a refund OR to reinstate the pass (so we can either use it ourselves or so it runs to the end of its term and they have to refund the unused charge. Incredibly callous customer 'service' - and all so they can screw his estate out of around 40 quid. If they're that hard up then they're in serious danger of bankruptcy. Truly the pits of the UK grocery industry. (We and the rest of our family moving to Ocado on basis of their attitude and this experience.
