Co-Op (must do better!)

The only reason I go here is because its close to where I live, and has only a slightly better poor rating than its sister shop (formally Rusts within throwing distance) at the end of Church walk south. The prices are expensive, the range of products is poor and the meat, especially the beef & steak are as tough as hell. Often I will find things like...Fresh tomatoes, onions and mushrooms are sometimes not available? WTH, Did someone forget to re-stock the shelves? Or can they not be bothered? Their sister shop (formally Rusts) is even more infuriating, eg I went in there looking for plain cheap basic long grain rice. All they have ever sold is expensive 'Uncle Ben's' or brown rice, easy cook or Basmati. Any bargains you may have found elsewhere in other supermarkets will not be found in these stores, expensive versions of coffee, instead of my fave brand not sold, (fair trade rubbish no thanks) cleaning products, certain brands of many other well known great products...Not sold.(too cheap maybe?) Maybe I'm being picky, but I always feel let down every time I leave their stores...Emergency use only in my opinion!
