Tennants' Trip to Morrisons! :D❤ (a UK supermarket) put together from Georgia's stories on insta. This is a fucking masterpiece! :D

Reblog for sample size and all that

(Also I know some of these supermarkets are in other countries too, just ALL of them are in the UK)

Morrison's Café, Morley, UK

Let us introduce ourselves. We are Frances and Sharon, two friends with one burning question: why are there so many reviews of fancy, expensive restaurants and nothing for the supermarket café, adored by, and accessible to, the common man? We have made it our mission in life to visit as many supermarket cafés as the bus services will allow, because what is more important than being the change you wish to see in the world?

Today we have come to the Morrison's café in Morley, with our friend, [REDACTED].

What Frances had: Hot chocolate and biscoff cheesecake (£4)

What Sharon had: Pot of tea and Victoria sponge cake (£4)

What [REDACTED] had: Oasis (£2) and sausage, egg, chips and beans (£6.50)

Vibes: 4/5 ⭐

The café is hidden away from the rest of the supermarket which leaves an atmosphere distinctly different from that of most supermarket cafés. We sat in a comfortable booth. It was lively yet pleasant, with a wide range of ages visiting today (very family friendly). The wall decor had a pleasant variety of ambiguous text, but sadly no photos of food, and very nice lighting fixtures. There was also poor phone signal, for which a star is lost. The booth did have the store manager's email address asking for feedback which was unique but not unwelcome.

Service: 2/5 ⭐

It's hard to give a ranking for service at a café which is mostly self service, although there is hot food brought to your table if you order it. Ordering is done via a self service machine, and cold food, snacks and drinks can then be taken from a counter. Frances and I did wonder if this system is open to abuse, but perhaps Morley is above such things. There are two self service hot drinks machines, one of which was out of hot chocolate. The hot food took around 20 minutes to arrive, but staff were friendly, and generous with ketchup sachets. The café gains extra points because when we asked to confirm if we could just take what we'd ordered from the counter, we were happily informed that drinks had free refills. A cheap day out!

Quality: 3/5 ⭐

The cakes were nice, although we suspect not made on site. Sharon would have preferred an option for real sugar as well as just sweeteners, and the tea was Tetley's and not the far superior Yorkshire Tea. Frances agreed that the hot chocolate was fine. For the hot food, the eggs, chips and beans were decent, but the sausages were the highlight, with [REDACTED] commenting that they reminded him of his childhood.

Price: 3/5 ⭐

[REDACTED] believes that £2 for an Oasis was "egregious", however unlimited hot drinks and a cake for £4 is very reasonable indeed. Perhaps [REDACTED] should have got a hot drink too.

Finally, we come to our last, yet most important, criteria: would we propose to the love of our life in this café?

We think no. As a busier café, your words of tender love may get lost in the background hum. Also, we suspect that if you proposed in this particular supermarket café, the locals would just stare, and that's just not the reaction you want to start the rest of your life with.

Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Average rating for Morrison's cafés: ⭐⭐⭐

Salmon with Pea and Tarragon Sauce

Sautéed Salmon with Pea and Tarragon Sauce This is just an idea I had to teach the students in my latest cookery class that a few humble ingredients can make a stunning lunch time dish. You can even save money with a little planning. I serve the salmon on crushed baby potatoes and the sauce would you believe is made from chicken stock and frozen peas! In the UK, unfortunately, buying fresh…

ngl we need a uk supermarket tier list :]

oooh ok, lemme put on my thinking cap. Going from least good to best, here is my official UK supermarket tier list. International shops like Aldi and Lidl included because I have only been in very specific areas of the uk

10. Waitrose - Tory hotspot.

9. Marks and Spencer’s - you can get a bra and food but all the clothes are ugly and everything is expensive. Bonus points for Percy Pigs and those cookies.

8. Iceland - I’ve never really been in here, but I’m sure it’s fine. Sells smartwater, however you feel about that.

7. Sainsburys - Honestly I don’t really remember sainsburys apart from the fact that I got a really lovely purple coat with flowers on the quilting when I was very small (like primary one age).

6. Lidl - I attest that this is the worse of the two.

5. Aldi - aldi bakery 💞💞 also the middle aisle 💖💖

4. Tesco - brilliant stuff altogether, just not my favourite.

3. Morrisons - the deli counter tub pasta still has my heart even if the last time I had it I was small enough to fit in the wee seat in the front of a trolley 💔

2. The Co-op - the excitement of getting Moshi monster cards in the co op was unrivaled.

ASDA - my love my love I could go on. From shitty jokes to initials to range and MILK SLICES it’s the best supermarket in the UK by far.

this is less a tier list and more of a ranking but the point stands.

TikTok Teens, Carrds, and Oversharing

Be me (fashionable, transguy, 27, celebrating my 10th anniversary by going to a fucking supermarket because I'm too socially drained to go anywhere else).

Go to supermarket.

Be approached by a random stranger who really likes my gf's outfit.

Stranger is young-looking, seems androgynous and queer, and looks like they could either be a) a homestuck adult, or b) a fnaf kid.

(the second is proven to be true)

my gf is wearing a collar. It is not a 'dog' collar - it is a slightly froofy black and dark blue collar with a small bell, normal-passing enough to never raise eyebrows, but clearly either a little bit quirky or, for those in the know, a sign of our relationship to eachother. I collared her on our eighth anniversary, as a fully grown adult. She only wears it outside on special occasions, and our 10th anniversary seemed acceptable.

Stranger immediately flatters gf's collar, and in doing so breaks it to us that they are eighteen years old, and tells us about their sixteen year old boyfriend who will be staying at their house for the first time next week and getting drunk with them. They are going to give him a collar. They then tell us their long history of 'collaring' their past exes, rants about how exhausting it was asking for the collars back after breaking up, and how the collar they're giving her bf is an ex's collar that they've scribbled the name off of.

It becomes readily appareant that:

This person is too young to be approaching strangers.

This person is insanely misinformed about everything imaginable.

They live entirely on TikTok.

Complete Stranger We Cannot Escape For Many Reasons then goes on to tell us about their mental health. About their transition. About their entire fucking life. They had absolutely no sense of safety, of personal boundaries. They're autistic, they're adhd, they have did, they're a psychopath, they're,, etc etc.

They literally listed themself out to us like a fucking Carrd. We were complete strangers. We could have been predators. They told us so much stuff about their life, so many sordid details that we tried so desperately hard to navigate away from. They told us about their teenage boyfriend, about where they lived - THEY WANTED TO GO FOR DRINKS WITH US.

As a note, this is in England. 18 year olds are legally adults and can legally drink. We do not, however, enjoy being accosted by random strangers on the street. Smiling at a stranger on a street usually gets you stabbed. Especially in a Morrisons store.

You haven't known suffering until you've had to listen to an 18 year old Tiktok enjoyer explain how autism and adhd 'are the exact literal same thing' and 'they should know because they've read the whole dsm-5 back to front because oh aren't they so quirky and edgy' and 'did you know DID is actually also just autism too', and 'i have that too by the way', and then

they have the actual gonads

to think it's appropriate

to ask a random stranger

if they are also neurodivergent

(which i am)

and

MY GOD FUCKING DAMNIT I HATE TIKTOK WHY THE FUCK DO TEENS THINK THAT COLLARING SOMEONE IS A FASHIONABLE CUTE PARTNER THING WHEN IT IS LITERALLY A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT AND THAT THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE INVOLVING A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD IN THEIR KINKS OR GETTING THEM DRUNK IN SECRET.

AND ALSO WHEN YOU DIVULGE ALL THIS TO A STRANGER WHO TURNS AROUND AND SAYS "I'M 27" YOUR RESPONSE SHOULD NOT BE TO DOUBLE DOWN, BUT INSTEAD SHOULD BE MAYBE REALIZE THAT, OH, YOU JUST DID SOMETHING VERY VERY STUPID IN DIVULGING YOUR WHOLE LIFE STORY TO THIS RANDOM PERSON YOU DIDN'T KNOW, AND LEAVE THE CONVERSATION.

I did not end the conversation when I should have. I tried, very very hard to leave the conversation. I have absolutely devestating social anxiety and this was my first time shopping in weeks. I know that the second I knew they were essentially an extremely vulnerable baby trans I should have left the situation. Believe me, my GF and I tried (we even missed our bus because this person would simply not let us go), but we were absolutely, utterly blindsided (and honestly, 'shook').

I am, unfortunately, someone who sees this sort of person and wants to help them. Wants to reach out and smack tiktok out of their hands, and maybe educate them a bit. But that's not my job. That is not at all my job. I am too mentally ill and tired and old to deal with this. But I do wish them the best. But I do want to help them. But it's exhausting. And it's not my fucking job.

I fucking hate this I hate this I never want to go back outside again in my life I hate this I hate this

It's a Bajoran supermarket owned by Morri Son, who took over the family business from his father Mr Morri

[durbmorrison]

Had a great day hanging out with my son @sidmorrison and my granddaughter Mila this weekend! Always nice to disconnect from the chaos and have a relaxing day with family! #morrisons (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqS81rCO0vC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm from the UK so none of these. I usually go to either Morrisons or Asda. And sometimes Tesco as a treat, I fuckin love Tesco.

Morrisons Christmas advert 2005

What a charming little advert! And it’s a lovely little storytelling touch that it’s only the kids who can recognise Santa in disguise, afterall, children experience Christmas through such a magical lens

[strangelandofbritain]

Walmart used to own Asda supermarkets in Britain until 2020.

Did this false weighing of food go on during the decades of Walmart ownership?

Do ALL supermarket chains do the same? Who checks their weighing scales now ??!

Anyone else getting tired of that Morrisons Christmas advert with singing oven mitts

Oriental Salmon with Stirfried Vegetables

Just like artists, chefs often like to revisit previous recipes they have created and see if they can improve them. I originally wrote this recipe for my newspaper column and served it with crispy rice noodles.  In my revised version, I changed the noodles and made a homemade spring onion and garlic sauce for the stirfried vegetables.  The recipe is very easy and getting a stir fry right is all…
