点评:I was shocked to find that their meat prices suddenly jumped by 30% yesterday (e.g., £9.95 to £12.95; £6.95 to £8.95, etc.), despite a significant increase of 10–15% just a few months ago. And this is in a VAT-exempt shop.
After spending 30% more on meat alone, I decided not to purchase any deli products — their sizes have shrunk again, even as prices remain high. In fact, the counter was completely deserted.
Having shopped here for years, I feel the management has gone too far during a time when many are struggling with the cost of living. Perhaps they believe their customer base is loyal and affluent enough not to mind, but time will tell.
My advice: £9.95 to £10.95 would be reasonable — not £12.95. And please bring back some decently sized pies. Nobody likes to feel taken for a fool.
With respect, I’m giving two stars.
翻译:令我震惊的是,昨天他们的肉价突然上涨了30%(例如,9.95英镑涨到12.95英镑;6.95英镑涨到8.95英镑等等),而就在几个月前,肉价还大幅上涨了10-15%。而且,这还是在一家免增值税的店里。
光是肉就多花了30%的钱,我决定不再买任何熟食——它们的尺寸又缩水了,而价格却仍然很高。事实上,柜台上空无一人。
多年来我一直在这里购物,我觉得管理层在许多人都在为生活成本苦苦挣扎的时期做得太过分了。也许他们认为他们的顾客足够忠诚和富裕,不会介意,但时间会证明一切。
我的建议是:9.95到10.95英镑比较合理——而不是12.95英镑。还有,请带一些大小合适的馅饼回来。没人喜欢被人当傻子。
恕我直言,我给两颗星。
