Sainsbury's in Runnymede

Glistening floors and wall to wall delights. Staines sainsburys is a truly magical experience. You can sample titillating tastes of the local area. First you are greeted with the fresh fruit and veg typically coupled with a discarded trolley covering the prepared fruit section. Next up is the meat section followed by the deli and butcher where you can grab all the meat for twice the price of the section you just left. Moving round we see the wall of booze closely entwined with the local crack heads measuring the volume of their coat pockets with mini wine bottle rulers. Tucking back into the middle aisles we can navigate through the 'health food' vegan section, full of zombie looking vegan corpses and students oxymoronically complaining of money woes and filling their basket with edemame bean spaghetti. At the far end of the store is the freezer section, home to chips, puddings and any of the crack heads whose pockets couldn't fit the wine in. The tills are generally well manned/womaned yet till selection can be important. Remember the ever-flustered Surrey mother frantically combing through her suitcase of a purse for her nectar card amongst the myriad of coffee club loyalty cards can cause disruption. All in all this experience is uplifting, empowering and sometimes quite moving. There is free wifi and a security guard. The ceiling is above the floor and who gives a shit. It's a supermarket. You can buy shit. Mostly they have what you want and it cost what you think. Peace.

Pricey compared to other supermarkets

Reasonably well stocked Sainsbury's with the usual essentials. Sometimes if you appear to go a Monday evening or Thursday evening these seem to be their days of replenishing over night so the aisles can be a little empty. A small clothing range with the store but this is all constraints on space and now the local Argos is in the store. Underground parking good for when it's bad weather and usually quieter than up top. Also has a petrol station and a very temperamental car wash.

Security is very helpful and professional thanks for your efforts.

A great choice and always get what I want ... wide tills for big shops as well

Might be more effective if some of the staff concentrated on serving rather than boosting their Trump fixation

The most awful experience! Staff have no idea what's going on! Hot food counter, which i specifically went there for not even open! No one new why and then I get shouted at the oger of a security to keep my voice down, when asking why not one member of staff knows what going on! You need some serious improvement!

Not enough staff employed to ask questions of and be served by a cashier

Great place to visit if you need a food shop

Good customer service and quality of products

A lovely big Sainsburys with lots of things in it.

Disappointingly caterers for people who buy food to heat up, which is a long way from actually cooking. Finding a good selection of proper base ingredients is difficult and what there are is of mediocre quality.

Small store, layout not great. Friendly staff and a handy Starbucks on site.

OK super market but on the small side.

Photo booth makes the person look pale

Very good selection of products

Ladies toilets are filthy dirty on my last 2 visits to this store. Loo brush lids thick with dust, clearly never used or cleaned, same with the basins & floors etc. The whole room needs a deep clean from top to bottom & then maintaining regularly. Close proximity to the cafe & fresh produce which is rather off putting, unhygienic & probably a health & safety issue. Sort them out Sainsbury’s. Your standards have slipped. Next time I’ll add photos

This sainsbury's is good and big car parking also have Starbucks

Going in the wrong direction im afraid. I dont want to use Self checkouts for a weekly shop !

Friendly staff, there is no longer a pharmacy here. Nice amount of parking, nice store to shop in

Used the gas station. You can pay at the pump or in the shop

Dirty dingy and rude staff. Feels like fort know when you go in amd leave.

During the payment, the machine took an extra £10. I tried to address it, but the seller made it so complicated that I just gave up.

Sainsbury's Staines was a bit tired and shabby inside but these days it's made a big effort, staff nolonger lacklustre and tired, but keen to please helpful and friendly. Well done to all

Good variety of products and quality. Shelves are usually well stocked. Not so easy to find staff along the aisles. Manned tills should be better shown.

Very helpful and friendly staff

Large assortment, average prices, Smart purchase

Disappointed could be so much better so so much better

Great location, easy parking, superstore products and has petrol station too.

For our weekly shop , we drive out of the way for Sainsbury's Quality food etc

Our local, has Starbucks too. Usually well stocked and staff a friendly

This place is getting empty and empty. It's just ridiculous. Only self checkout. We need assistance more than 6 times ( having a few bottles of alcohol ). I'm sorry to say that , but I will not come back again . This store needs a complete upgrade .

Excellent variety of food, all reasonable priced. Will definitely go there again

It was an absolute mess in there,everything is all over the place.its just a mess

Would have been nicer if there had been more than THREE check outs open. Dreadful having to wait so long to get out.

Unfortunately Staines Sainsbury's is a bit hit and miss, sometimes well stocked others half empty. Hardly any staff around so maybe that's why the shelves are not stocked. Also its alway's very cold in the store, I assume to keep the goods fresh. When it's 33° outside and you have to wear a coat in there to keep warm. Also, we get Nectar offers, always on things they don't stock. One bad issue recently was I found some meat slices a week past the use by date, I raised it with a member of staff, the following week the same meat was still there. Again I raised it and this time they removed it immediately.

Great parking and wide selection for shopping needs. More self service tills bit of a let down. More humans needed

Price labels need to be looked at

Great parking, staff willing to help, everything I went for.

Amazing place for grocery shopping

Like most supermarkets, there is a lack of staff on the tills

Found it very interesting loads on display

Good service and plenty of choice 👍

Friendly staff and decent environment. Good place for grocery.

Good airy store with plenty of stock. Ample parking including underground.

Good parking and great selection

I am trying to find out if I left my spectacles in this store. The one time I got through to the click and collect they cut me off. Been cut off four times now and half an hour later I still haven’t got an answer as they keep hanging up. Terrible Customer Service from Sainsbury’s and Argos. Also why do companies wind up their customers with these electronic jungles? Do I have to get in my car to find out? Appalling!!

If you're going to make me scan my own shopping and treat me like a suspected criminal and detain me until scan my receipts to exit, the very least you can do is get staff that are less interested in chatting about irrelevant topics, and more interested in helping customers.

Always been happy with service in this store

I'm in a wheelchair and the staff and customers were so helpful, definitely shop there again.

The car park always feels it's on the brink of turning into a free for all.

Good for quick lunch deals. Always fresh, never any queues.

Excellent quality great 👍 thanks

One of super market major in UK with good collection and display of all daily needs , medicines , beverages , grocery Very supportive staff....

Can get all the groceries for Asian households.

Big store with lots to buy from toasters to food

Good quality Sushi and friendly check out team. Adorable potted plants. Conveniently located next to the Lotus park on the Riverside.

Very easy to park, pop in to get all I need, pay and get out. Nice friendly, helpful,. staff

Decent supermarket in Staines. Easy access and parking. Relatively competitive fuel prices with easy payment process at pumps.

The staff are always very helpful

We just used the garage for petrol but good stock and selection of snacks.

Great supermarket, clean, nice staff.

Good produce, prices and parking

Attended this pub for a close friend's wake. Very sad. The pub was well clean tidy with loads of staff who were friendly and efficient had a large selection of food that was well very tasty. Was told by friends who are regulars that the pub menu and food are excellent looking forward to going back

I canceled my subscription and they withdrew money from my bank account and told them three times and I did not find money honestly the worst club and what I recommend

I very much prefer home delivery, but not too bad for small shopping.

Plenty of parking. But the fact you have to scan your receipt to exit through the barriers is frustrating, especially if you aren't shopping alone. I would rather go to Tesco's a few minutes drive away to avoid this issue

Big store plus 2 hours free parking

Plenty of space and parking ... Preferred the in house coffee shop .... coffee was very nice today much improved x

Very well stocked everything you could need argos store just opened good parking and toilets

Like most other supermarkets, sainsburys are reducing cost by dramatically, reducing stock choice...which is a race to the bottom, for all of us.

Sainsbury is always 5 stars, good quality and good parking space

a quiet supermarket full of staff all the time

Nice sainsbury store with a large car park. Not too busy and has a starbucks coffee shop inside.

I have hidden a packet of sponges. Good luck 👍🏻

Fresh good everything are available

Good food store go nowhere elsr

A classic sainsbury. However, it didn't have an gluten free sandwiches which was disappointing.

Very disappointing that only one cashier on checkouts for the 2nd week running (despite a manager promising that this was an isolated incident the previous week). Come on Sainsburys, you're in danger of losing me as a loyal customer. If you think I'm going to wait around in a queue for 15 minutes with a trolley load of shopping (including frozen items) I'll take my £150 per week shopping bill somewhere that provides a better service.

Jamie is probably the best worker I've ever seen grace the isles of Sainsbury's. God Bless

Good selection foods 😋 plenty of parking spaces

In my area they were the only place that had ox tails. Gagging for an ox tail stew. The store is well set out, and very clean. The staff were very polite and professional. Last thing the store was well stocked. Definitely go there again.

The place is huge and has a wide range of groceries which you can choose from. Downloading the 'Nectar' app saves you quite a few pounds. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants to shop for groceries in bulk.

Lack of staff on tills. Not everyone wants to use self checkout!

Lovely layout of store with friendly staff which stocks everything we need

Given that this is a store selling fresh foods - you know, that people handle all day - it’s pretty unforgivable that both the gents and ladies loos have mingingitis . NO SOAP in either toilet, then you go and handle the produce. Think about that for a while. The gents appears not to have been cleaned all day and stinks like an old nappy. Starbucks lady was awesome, though.

Worst sainsburys I've ever been to. Checkout staff are brilliant but if you need customer service, or management intervention woe be unto you. Best avoided. So many better places to shop in the area.

Close to the twon and parking is convenient

First time back in the UK for 4 years, so first supermarket that I've visited, very helpful staff and a very helpful young lady on the tills this evening. Will be doing my shopping here while I'm back.

Spacious store well laided out with a good range of products

Couldn't get a trolley as I didn't have the correct token, only 3 pieces of Broccoli not quite the quick shop I was hoping for

Great local supermarket. Wish it offered the option to deliver groceries in short timeframes using Deliveroo or Uber etc. other than that, I enjoy shopping here.

Well what an experience, playing music low non offensive RnB (Justin Timberlakes Holy Grail) and ordered to turn off music by man in grey sweater. Then after I've paid security tells me next time no music as there have been complaints. Not by other customers who complimented the music. Ask to speak to the manager and refered to little lady who states my music is offensive. I'm black!! She then states its booming and she can't hear me but she was just talking to me. I told her their approach was offensive and that her handling was as such too. In addition being told turn that off with a face on rather than being asked by the original manager was not good customer relations and that their stereotyping turn of phrase and admonishing me in full view of the checkouts made me feel uncomfortable were illegal and there are laws to protect my rights which they were infringing. Black man being talked to by security and management in full fiew of a 98% caucasian clientele. When I asked about my complaint she said she would take it for me, intimating it was a verbal process. Take my complaint verbally after exhibiting such prejudice. I told her I would put my complaint in myself. Absolutely abysmal. I note there were no black staff that I saw at all instore. Shocking Sainsburys suggest you look into it.

It's sainsburys.. Great product and prices are very reasonable considering we're now paying twice as much as we used too. Staff are always helpful and cheerful.. Starbucks on the doorstep with ample parking and a petrol station.

I just had to visit Sainsbury’s today the manager was a terrible lady with no responsibility for children very slow and very unprofessional stay away of this people

Clean shop, well-stocked, great range of products. Excellent fresh produce. Pity the clothing and stationary sections are rather limited.

Clean, tidy, spacious, with a huge range of products.

Appalling toilets, never clean, always under repair for over two years, always leaking. Toilets should be condemned.

Not as big as some sainsburys but got a good selection of food.

It's Sainsbury's, good car park and clean shop, just what you need.
