Co-op Food oxford

Very rude staff, completely lacking training and respect for the customers

This is a popular, community-owned grocery store serving a mixed population of, largely professional, households, and students. It has recently been extensively refurbished with a 20% increase in the product range and the addition of a Costa hot drinks machine. It sells food and drink, together with newspapers and basic household goods. It offers a choice of main meal basics, such as chicken, meat, some fish, fresh vegetables and ready meals and snacks. I have always found the staff to friendly and helpful and they appear to be popular with customers.

Newly refurbished. (Where are the previous staff?) stocks not brilliant. Sadly have added a take away (non -environmentally friendly ) Costa coffee machine. Stock reflects it being in a student area. Better cashier system now with some self serve tills . Has a free cash machine

Chicken and meat quality better than Tesco although the latter is overall cheaper. Great prices if you know how to fish as they use the usual tricks of showing cheap front page products to conceal the expensive ones. Drinks are enormous in variety! Fruits and vegetables are good but few are organic. Great for Christmas shopping. Superb car park with a nearby fuel station (cheapest in Oxford), car wash, burger king (use phone vouchers), boots pharma, Next, Mark and Spencer, mother care and a sports centre ‘sport direct’ with on the go available discounts much cheaper than amazon

It's just had a refit and new auto checkouts. The auto checkouts don't take cash and don't seem to work very well. The main problem is the shop is always blocked up with staff restocking the shelves. Sometimes all 3 isles are blocked!! The checkout queueing setup is also not very good. Whoever thought out this refit needs to think again. Mostly I feel frustrated when I leave the shop. 2 stars for cleanliness and ATM in-store
