  An extraordinarily compact Tesco Express. Not compact in the charming sense. Compact in the sense that Tesco appears to have looked at the amount of space reasonably required to operate a supermarket and decided to use approximately 43% of it. Everything is there. That is the remarkable thing. Meal deal? There. Washing-up liquid? There. Sponge required at 9pm because the existing sponge has abruptly reached the end of its natural life? There. Milk, bananas, toothpaste, batteries, several inexplicable varieties of hummus? All somehow there. Where any of it is located is a separate matter. The aisles are approximately one human being wide, provided that human being has not brought a coat. Introduce a delivery cage and the entire transport network collapses. Two customers approaching each other from opposite directions requires negotiation, diplomacy and occasionally reversing back towards the meal deals. The self-checkout area appears to have been designed for three people but regularly contains eleven, two Deliveroo riders, a member of staff trying to replace a receipt roll and someone standing completely still for reasons known only to themselves. And yet I remain impressed. This shop has somehow compressed the essential functions of modern British life into the approximate dimensions of a large cupboard. You enter needing lunch, washing-up liquid and perhaps a sponge. You emerge several minutes later with all three, having participated in what feels like a minor logistical emergency. It shouldn’t work. Architecturally, I’m not entirely convinced it does. But the meal deal is cold, the washing-up liquid washes up, the sponge is unmistakably a sponge, and ultimately I cannot ask much more of Tesco. A triumph of inventory over available floor space.

  Dreadful staff with a real attitude problem. Had to ask three times for help on the checkout and just got ignored.

  This store is absolutely shocking The list of flaws and complaints are endless . The staff bar 1 are all so sooo rude . Constantly accuse people of shoplifting AND THEY ARENT Open and close when they feel like it I have a chronic pain condition so times I have to use the whoosh service and 9x out of 10 they leave items missing and still charge me it's beyond frustrating. Whole thing should be shut down
