Stayed up Dunnikier my entire life. I've seen the shop go from the Spar, to David Sands, to Co-op, and to Green's. Unfortunately, I preferred the first 3 over the Green's. I understand that in the current climate, prices have increased everywhere, but Green's is a bit too much for people. There's many people I know that used to get their bit and bobs from the other shops over the years, however, they've all stopped since the store was change to Green's. We all agree it's too expensive and that some of the younger staff members act a bit like they can't be bothered.\\n\\nI was getting served by a boy a few months ago. Whilst at the till, he chatted to a female staff member. He continued to talk throughout the whole transaction until he said the total price then just turned around and started chatting again. I didn't even get a hello or goodbye. As someone worked in retail for 7 years, this kind of behaviour whilst serving a customer is just rude. Interacting with, and developing a friendly relationship with customers is key. Especially if it's a local business where their target market is the residents of Dunnikier.\\n\\nI worked in an international supermarket CHAIN and there were some customers that would only regularly shop there due to my level of friendly interaction with them and my ability to have a laugh and bond with the customers.\\n\\nAdvice for Green's: You are a LOCAL business in a friendly, family estate. Please get your staff to chat with customers. Get to know their names, get to know what products they like, have a laugh whilst still remaining professional, and just provide a warm, friendly service in general. This will keep people coming and they will spread the word. I'm sure you'd prefer someone say to their friend \\\"The staff in Green's are lovely, if you're ever up the estate, you should check it out\\\" rather than \\\"The staff in Green's are a bit rude, you'll be better avoiding that place if you're up here\\\".\\n\\nIn no way am I trying to offend anyone. I want the local family business to succeed, hence the word of advice regarding some of the staff's attitudes.\\n\\nThe only reason I'm giving the review 3 stars is because the shop does sell some local produce which is nice to see in a housing estate.

poor stock availability, overpriced, regularly empty shelves. caters for school children at lunch rather than vulnerable residents in the estate

Out of date stock on the shelves. Purchased a 1.25L of coke this morning only to realise later on when I opened it that it was 11 months out of date! Went back to get it exchanged which they did with a different flavour. The shop worker assured me they check the dates everyday. Obviously not, I was in a rush to get to the school run so i've just opened the bottle, it looked and tasted flat, checked the date and its 2 months out of date! I've heard from others that they've experience the same.

Don?t appreciate going around to the store almost an hour before closing to be told by Sean that I can?t be served as the tills have been cashed up, again I asked why..? to then be told ?we have things to do? all while his college was standing at the stockroom door on her mobile. Just not acceptable..Store has drastically went down hill in the past couple of months. I will certainly NOT be using the store again!! The staff would be better off staying at home and playing there computer games!!

Used to be a not bad wee shop up the estate, now need to count up cost of shopping due to constantly being overcharged. Its ridiculous really. Place seems just messy all the time and last few times I've been in the staff just let young children zoom around the shop on scooters? Don't think there is ever really staff on who take charge in the evenings and if there is they aren't doing a good job... oh aye and its extortionate
