Reason Number 1 to Shop at Morrisons.

[Horse]

Well I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised even warmed by something I saw this morning which is rare for the mean streets of this town.

As I walk into work I pass a high street Morrisons store and I was just walking through the car park when I notice one fellow escorting another fellow out of the car park. As I get closer I notice that one of the fellows is wearing a pinnie and the other is leading a dog.

As I pass the pairing I realise that a fairly normal (one would think) Morrisons employee is leading a blind man and his guide dog across a busy street and to the bus stop. He is also carrying the blind mans shopping for him.

To be honest, I was fairly amazed at seeing this event and I think I may have freaked out the valiant Morrisons employing by staring at him a bit too much. But never mind, well done that chap for being so generous and well done Morrisons on being so disabled friendly.

Fin.

They may be good for disabled people but that seems to be about it. My local Morrisons still has 'Safeways' plastered everywhere, they haven't even changed the shops name!

[Beef Magic]

I think Morrisons is quite good. You obviously haven't tried their sausage rolls from The Pie Shop in there.

Pure Perfection.

[Mozzer]

Morrisons is also home to Scout and Explorer Scout's fund-raising when we're too poor to afford their own stuff, like the trip to Switzerland we're planning next year. We'll pack your bags for you, ma'am... now pay up! :D

I must agree with you about that - they are absolutely delicious.

[Shave]

in the co-op we carry old ladies shopping all the time and even pack their bags

[Ste150]

Ah that’s nice (the Morison’s dude and Shane), you wouldn’t get that service from Tesco *sighs*
Damn multi-national companies with their fingers in all the pies. tsk.

Maybe we should start a good deed of the day thread, make everyone do a good deed and report back. hrm

His name could have been Stephen so Well Done, Stephen!

Thats because it costs many millions of pounds to change every Safeways into a Morrisons so they do them one at a time and space it out evenly. Otherwise there would be no Safeways or Morrisons. And that means no nice pies.

So even though it may be called Safeways, there is a Morrisons just waiting for its moment of glory.

And kudos to that employee, its good to know that there are still some people out there who have a heart.

[Preasure]

Nice to know that supermarket employees have feelings. Good on him.

[gxfu]

Buy girl scout cookies while you're at it

[AngryPaul]

I'm forever up for helping the unfortunate, not as to make them feel inadequate in anyway though.

Good for Morrisons!

[moovok]

Morrison's are always good, however their prices are getting slightly steeper than usual. But still me and my Mum go (she's disabled) and everyone's friendly-ish :)

Two friends and I once got kicked out of a Tesco car park at 3am for sitting by some trolleys, we weren't intimidating anyone, we weren't being antisocial at all, we were sitting down eating food that we had just bought from Tesco when an irate security guard came over and said "What the hell are you doing?" followed by "Just fuck off won't you?". We weren't rude to him and were quite upset by his anger at us. If he had asked us to "Please move along, its nothing personal, I'm just following company policy" then we would have done so happily. A while before that we were in Sainsbury's car park consuming some of their fantastic produce when a security guard asked very nicely for us to move along. We complied with utter politeness and with smiles on our faces as we knew we had made somebody's job a little bit more pleasant. I kid you not.
The local Marks and Spencers has totally lost my respect though. Two weeks ago someone I know from school who I don't particularly like was attacked by some older sk8r boiis for no apparent reason. Bleeding, he ran to the closest place he knew they couldn't get him, Marks and Spencers. He was thrown out, whereupon he was hospitalized by the skaters. This shit just makes me so angry, that a helpless guy is given back to his attackers by a company that believes that the sight of blood might alienate their customers. Also, they opened near to the local co-op, which is the nicest supermarket I know. The co-op has lost customers.
There is a Morrisons locally but we haven't had an experience there yet.

[carpefula]

That's wierd you should mention that because my brother was getting attacked by some ruffians out side Marks and Spencer in Rugby (where i used to live) and the Security Guard just watched and let it happen.

I had to intervene and a) I'm female and b) I'm his YOUNGER sister.

Shocking.

[lattherobogirl]

the same things happened with a friend of mine and a tesco I think, also we had a co-op near us, a Tesco opened down thee road and the co-op closed down :( I bloody loved that co-op, and no where else sells apple and pear spread DAMN IT.

[Twatybollocks]

My wife has worked at Morrisons for a while now and they have lower wages than in comparison to places like ASDA but they do get a profit share bonus every April which compensates....until she received notification that this year will be the last year any of them receive the bonus and no, there is no pay increase.

I've also got a little secret to tell you about Morrisons. They re-label the fresh fruit and veg when it has reached its sell by date to the next day. This continues until the product is either sold or it becomes obvious it is going off. Maybe other supermarkets do this but it's quite fun shopping there with my wife because she knows which products are really fresh and which have been made to look fresh.

[monkey magic]

well done morrisons man!
In sainsburys they'd stand and look superior due to their rich person's stock and in tesco they'd trip the guy up in the middle of the street, take his wallet and his dog, then get the shoppers to run him down.

[Simon]

I went in Morrisons the other day and had to check if it was still 2005...looked like a cheesy 80's American supermarket. I half expected paper bags...

[dejosc]

lol tescos is pretty scabby but its the nearest one and going to a different one takes anothe 30 minutes because we live in the middle of nowhere

[xkittyx]

Um... A guy who worked in tescos asked me out. Was well hot too and in an awesome band. That's reason enough for me!

[fishface60]

It depends on the Supermarket what it's like, but they are all bad for corner shops, but the local Tesco is the best supermarket near me, ASDA is part of WalMart, Morrisons took off the Chocolate Squares and they were my favourite cereal, Netto sells stuff out of date, and the Tesco stopped the Chocolate Squares and Chocolate Checkers (white and dark chocolate), so I suppose it isn't... I keep getting told that Corner shops were better, but I haven't been on this earth long enough to have seen them.

[FoxDhoj]

I don't like the food in Morrissons that much. Their own brand stuff is slightly dodgy. They had a baguette called "Just Ham", and when I looked at it, it was either beef, or very rancid ham...

[fishface60]

Well, Tesco champagne won in a contest in non-vintage wines.

[piethagerous]

not only is the food in morrisons damn tasty its cheap

[Beef Magic]

I stand by my obession with their sausage rolls.
