Good quick convenient store in a prime spot on a cold autumn evening! We needed a few things before…read morecalling it a night so we walked over here as it was closer than Sainsbury's and Tesco Express. We were pleased with the selections of everything from cheeses to ales and every snack in between. Upon checkout we were curious about the irn-bru in the bin next to the counter so we asked the lady who was checking folks out. She was sweet and explained that it was just something we had to try but it was too hard to explain. Enough said - we brought one home to try! They had lots of clearanced out items near the checkout as well so we grabbed a bag of crisps to go with our new local finds. Great shop - and good customer service!

I'm in two minds about this place…read more Scotmids in general have decent stock, including plenty of GF and lactose free items and they give discount vouchers every now and then which often give £2 off if you spend over £10 (not too shabby!). There's a decent range of cheeses, often including some which are locally made. I also like their own brand stuff, which is decent quality. This particular Scotmid has recently had a revamp and now includes an area with fresh baked bread, a vegetable rack with your 'not your usuals' next to all the 'normal' vegetables, a pastry/pie counter next to the tills and a self-service check out area. All these things make me think that Scotmid wants to be more 'Waitrose' than 'Tesco Express'. However, they are pricier than Tesco, likely because most of what they sell is sourced locally. It sometimes surprises me how quickly the price goes from a few quid to the average £13-17 I spend here. I can live with the price, I don't have to shop here after all, but one thing that kind of makes me lose patience is the staff. On the tills that staff are wonderful, they ask you about your day and are always lovely, fostering a sense of community in the local shop. In the aisles however the staff have a habit of having personal conversations (not 'guess what I found my husband doing last night?' but more 'I was watching Breaking Bad and I couldn't believe the bit where the thing happened!') and you occasionally feel you are intruding if you need to reach between them to grab your milk. This is probably a consequence of the friendly atmosphere and general friendliness about the place but it has tried my patience more than once! Overall though I like this Scotmid and I'm glad it's my local!

Things they didn't have tonight included a jar of mincemeat and individual foil cases. Given the size of the store this really surprised me. I was in at around 8pm and wandered aimlessly for ages (genuinely about 10 minutes) trying to find a member of staff to ask about the above items. Eventually when I tracked someone down they had no idea where I'd get either of the things, so I gave up and went to another supermarket! Not good enough Tesco, I dread to think what it would be like nearer Christmas!

(What world is this that I am able to make unconscious assumptions about the kind of Tesco I'm in? Ugh.) Anyway. It's bigger and better-stocked. That's why I thought it was a Metro. It's also pretty tidy most of the time and last time I went in, there was a nice young man from Stoats giving away free samples, which was fun. The tills are fairly well laid-out... I don't really know what else there is to say. It's a Tesco, and just a Tesco, and it's got nothing particularly out of the ordinary to recommend it, but it's juuuuuust fine.

I had packed some food and decided that if I passed a small store on the way I would stop and see if they had any last food item(s) I wanted for a morning of exploring. Nearing St John's Episcopal Church, I was seeing the stores thin out and spotted Tesco Express. I slipped into the store and quickly looked through the offerings. I went with a small snack/candy item. There was a short line, which while standing in I noticed a small case of Krispy Kreme donuts. I did not get one of those, but it was a reminder I was going back to the United State of America the following day. Oddly, or goodly depending on one's perspective, it made me want to stay in Scotland more than go back to America.
