SPAR St. Mary's Gate - Manchester

The woman with white short hair was extremely rude to customers. She shouted at me and my partner when all we did was asking if we could return a parcel. She is likely to be a racist as she had total different attitudes with the white British customer before us in the queue. The other customer also asked if he could get change and cigarettes for free, she replied “I would love to but there’s a camera watching me”. So that’s a potential future risk there for the shop.
The other young man at the till however was really nice and friendly, and somehow tried to “compensate” for how rude his colleague was.

Do not waste your money in this store! Aside of being quite expensive,staff is rude and unqualified (especially blonde short haircut lady) Second time trying to drop a Evri Parcel and machine is always broken. When I asked she start laughing saying it’s what it is with an awful attitude. Spare stop hiring chavs and give opportunities to people who really appreciate a job.

The prices are very fair for most products compared to a lot of other stores in the city centre. The selection is good despite it being a relatively small store. The staff are almost always friendly and wish you a good day when you leave. They have saved me many times when I have forgotten to bring a lunch with me to work. Highly recommend if you do not want to be ripped off and you are stuck for something fairly priced to eat or drink in the city. 5*

lady with the grey short hair and glasses is the rudest person i have ever met, i tend to avoid going in if she’s there but when i have she has shouted at me every time for asking to send a parcel, she huffs in your face and rolls her eyes and always throws the receipt back at me. She needs to be sacked

The blonde lady with the glasses is probably the rudest person I have ever encountered! Rolling her eyes, huffing and shaking her head all because I asked for a little help with a parcel. I understand people have bad days but going off all the other negative reviews regarding this one woman, she’s like this all the time. Never in my life have I felt so uncomfortable whilst being served here or anywhere for that matter.

Short haired blonde lady with glasses is so unbelievably rude

Update - Spar replied and passed to the store, unlikely to hear anything back I’m sure given she’s been working here for years and nothing has changed

I was buying a white wine for my self (Age 54) and they demanded an ID from my son who was with me (Age 19)
There was no reason for them to ask for it and he was holding a water bottle for him self.
When I said it was stupit to ask my son for ID when I was buying something.
They clerk said that should watch my languge othervise I would not be able to buy the vine.
I do think that it is stupit and I will never buy anything from SPAR again.
Getting threats when buying some bread and one white whine because I think it is stupit to ask my son for ID.

I have just been spoken to in a really direspectful manner and basically shouted at by the older lady with glasses because her instructions were unclear. There are multiple reviews about the same woman. Spar customer service you need to do something as I will not be returning.
