Welcome Co-op - Bedford

JoeDeBeast

My family have been using this store for over 20 years.
The best thing was the refit to a welcome
co-op
The staff are friendly and helpfull.
They are expected to work hard for their salary.
Much better than the previous budgens.
Yes could be cheaper but would cost us to drive to Sainsbury’s

5 stars from me 👍🏻

Lazy, incompetent cashier! - I just stopped by purchase some groceries and used self service. One of the reduced items (with barcode sticker slapped on unevenly) wouldn't scan so I called for assistance. The cashier came over and told me I must type the long barcode figures into the scanner as if she was training me on a shift! So I told her I'm not doing this because it's not my job. She then grumpled something about how she's the only person on shift, however it wasn't at all busy, and even if it had been that's really not my problem! And in the time she was stood 'training' me as if she's my supervisor, she should have inputted the numbers herself. Perhaps she expects customers to buy their shopping then cover a full shift, LOL 😂 - completely ridiculous cashier, unhelpful and unpleasant!

Prices are through the roof !! Shop that takes advantage of the elderly that can’t get to the main supermarket for their daily needs, should be ashamed of yourselves, absolutely disgraceful behaviour glad you sleep well knowing that your taking peoples hard earned monies and just putting it in your pocket - congratulations

DONT USE TO SEND EVRI PARCELS

They don’t issue receipts when you send your Evri parcels and tell you to put the parcels in a trolley next to checkout. I dropped off about 10 parcels of things I’d sold.. None of these parcels were ever sent according to their Evri tracking and in turn all my customers have been refunded due to the selling platforms stepping in and siding with customer as tracking says parcels were never dispatched..

Either stolen or lost by incompetent staff and terrible operation

Not the best Co op ever but still good. It’s quite small but it has a good selection of food and has self checkouts. It even has some food which garden centres usually sell.

It also has a Subway inside

Best little local supermarket I’ve ever been in! Stocks everything from the usual branded stuff to a fresh counter with local items for both immediate eating and the cupboards at home. There’s some fresh machines for orange juice, a coffee machine and great locally made cakes too. Staff are always friendly, all the prices reasonable, It’s the perfect local shop!

Large store for a co-op with varied amount of food items. Staff are pretty good here as well. Well lit and welcoming alot better than some of the older stores as well laid out.
This also houses a subway store as well which is pretty quick and efficient.
A good size car park as well.

My experience today was as most days, for some reason I ended up talking to the manager ...my goodness that man needs to lighten up. He is so rude, blunt, and unhelpful.
I feel sorry for his staff, who generally, have been as expected from a supermarket.
Staff were having a discussion on the shop floor about a customer who had been in and were talking rudely about her (manager included).
I find the selection is ok but prices are shockingly inflated!
The subway is good and it has some nice little extras in store but generally I don't go there as it's overpriced and I appreciate good customer service.
