Disagree with Lidl - although it's cheap, it still stocks quality merchandise. It certainly isn't Waitrose!

Possibly, in that you can shop online and usually get what you ordered... But isn't Ocado linked in some way to Waitrose?

Tesco would fit the bill - has it's value range for the less discerning, Finest for those that want something a little classy, and plain normal for everything else.

Plus the acronym for its Florence And Fred clothing has a resonance

Spar.

Looks Dated, a bit hot at times near the hot food counter, often has a lot of tat that even poundland won't carry, but now and then they carry then exact thing you're looking for and its only a quid more than the supermarket that's a ten minute walk away.

Tesco, roughly around 8pm when the reduced stuff gets labelled.

Reasons:

Loads of people in a mad rush when something new becomes available.

Hardly any "proper" checkouts open, so it's all electronic, with very little actually face to face communication.

Fridges are half empty from things that have gone but not been stocked up again.

Plenty of pissed off people who don't get what they want due to not enough to go around...

Yes one of the PoundLand type stores.

On first look the price makes you want to look further to get a bargain but when you have made your selection there is a very long queue to pay as it is self service only now. When you get home and take off the wrappers you find you have been cheated cos the "goodies" are half the size of the pics.
