Advertises a meal deal for like £3.75 or something so I purposefully pick out the stuff labelled as a meal deal and a separate fruit pot for like £1. Comes to over £7 and I ask the woman and she?s like that?s not in the meal deal. I say well it?s advertised that it is? And she says yes I know but that needs removed. I?m pretty sure false advertising prices is illegal. I had already paid and I very obviously wouldn?t have purchased a spar meal deal for over £7. Such a joke, she should have offered me a refund but of course it was my fault for not reading their minds and guessing that they?re false advertising. Never going back

Manager of the store is a scruffy low life who needs sacking, awful staff offered no help and actively tried to kick me out and accuse me of trying to steal whilst I was having a medical issue in the store

Staff always super nice and friendly, and up for a conversation. Particularly day staff, but staff great overall. Much better than the Tesco across the road

Staff are always lovely. Nice to have security there.i stay in manc on business every few weeks and grab a cheeky bottle from this shop. Granted the surrounding area is bit iffy. But they are always curious and professional. Plus its a 24 hour shop. What more could you want!

My friend was buying alcohol for her and a couple friends we were meeting up with (I wasn?t drinking as I was going home alone and wanted to be safe also there was only three of us there). When we went to pay, the cashier asked for id when I realised he was asking me as I was on my phone, I told him I wasn?t drinking. Instantly he gets a smirk on his face and says he?s not serving us when I tell him I?m not drinking again he gets rude speaks over me and just starts talking louder in general. I ask him why he?s getting so agressive and rude and he just keeps talking over me. Starts saying it?s the law, which if he had said nicely and calmly the first time rather than being rude I would?ve understood why and been like okay that?s fine. But the fact he was so aggressive and rude didn?t sit right with me. His coworker butted in calmly and said it is the law, which again I didn?t have an issue with I get it. Then when we?re walking away and out of the shop he says ?Shove it up your arsehole?. As if I?ve done something wrong other than stand up for myself to a rude person. Will be filing an official complaint with the manager.

Yoyo. I love to be in this lovely place. Best shop. U can go backwards in it and say party hard. The stuff is always in a good mood. You get the coldest beer. Greetings to the stuff from the bloody backwards walking Germans. I think it's the best shop in Manchester #partyhard

Not sure why this place has so many negative reviews - it?s a nice store, open late, reasonable prices.I visited late at night (maybe 1am) whilst travelling through Manchester, and the security guard and staff member on checkouts were patient with me as I wandered around in a sleep deprived state. Stocked up on juice and snacks for the next leg of my trip.Thank you.

Convenient but very expensive. I get it's a prime location but £2.29 for a 500ml bottle OF Ribena drink was OTT

I entered this store at 2am on a Friday morning. I was reluctant on going in at first due to the horrendous amount of beggars and winos sat outside making a racket. As I entered, a scruffy looking guy followed me in tapping me on the shoulder saying "excuse me, excuse me". I continued to ignore him and look at the sandwitches but he constantly kept harrasing me until eventually I turned around and he said "you've dropped something mate". He then pretended to pick it up and walked out expecting me to follow him. I know this was all a ruse to get me to go outside so I could be pickpocked. Meanwhile throughout this whole time the security guard was on the phone behind his desk and did nothing. I like this spar as it has a nice wide range of stock but something is wrong if I am even too afraid of entering due to lazy security.

Disgustingly rude staff, really bad. Won't go back
March 2022 by Lee Higgins
Absolutely horrendous! Mince on sake which was actually grey?..and when highlighted to the till staff they said..?that?s not my job?it?s the managers problem??.the till staffs attitude was absolutely appalling to the point where they were abusive to me. The manager was just as bad?.(Kyle?.he was keen to tell me his name for some reason) not doing anything to reconcile the situation even when the staff continued to throw derogatory comments at me in front of him?.customer service was none existent. Absolutely appalled by the treatment from all staff members and will be taking this further?.AVOID!

I bought a DOTS Original 4 Box daunt from the Spar last week when I noticed that it tasted bitter and they was very hard to bite I checked the expiry date only to see that the original expiry date was covered up by a sticker and a new one had been placed the original expiry date had already been reached and they were clearly trying to get rid of stock by disguising the original dates.When I returned the store, the attitude and answer I received from the staff was 'That's why they was on offer'I told her here again it was very hard to bite and test was not good the again she answer the same 'that's why they was on offer.
