Inverkeithing Scotmid. Over priced and robbing people who live in economically deprived areas. Scotmid relies on people who can’t drive the 15 mins to Tesco and Asda. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask... See more

5 stars for the staff at the Coupar…

5 stars for the staff at the Coupar Angus branch. The staff here are some of the kindest I have ever encountered. Huge respect to them all! However it is a disgrace that it is company policy to throw away out of date food! Why can't it be donated to a homeless shelter, food bank, soup kitchen??? Absolutely disgraceful! People are going hungry in this country let alone the wider world. Really is incredibly wasteful and shameful!!!

Poor customer service - Old Edinburgh Road, Viewpark

Went in to buy things this morning and assistant was so unpleasant, I had to apologise for not wanting to use the self service check out even though shop was empty. I placed my bag up on the counter and she scanned my items and dumped them at the side of my bag. I left and couldn't even say thanks, I felt like I was putting her out her way to serve me. This is not the first bad customer services experience that I have had in there, there is another assistant who thinks she can make completely inappropriate remarks and has done this with me more than once and I am sick of it. I am a paying customer, just want to go in and get my shopping, pay for it and walk out. I actually dread seeing the one with the inappropriate comments being on. If there was another shop nearby I would not go in there again. They need trained to deal with customers professionally and mind their business.

The new staff that has been hired are so unhelpful and unwelcoming. The staff that have been there for years care about their job. These new hires shouldn’t have got the job. They don’t realise they aren’t there just to work a till.

Edinburgh Leven Street branch.

Edinburgh Leven Street branch.

Was at this store on 23/2/25 at around 4:20pm and the man on the tills was very abrupt and rude. No manners at all and was making faces at me and my partner. Very unprofessional and should not be dealing with customers.

I tried to get a refund as I was charged twice for membership due to new cards being issued. Staff don't know anything about the scheme and are difficult to communicate with. The store is limited for food choice and the cost is ridiculous.

Inverkeithing Scotmid

Inverkeithing Scotmid. Over priced and robbing people who live in economically deprived areas. Scotmid relies on people who can’t drive the 15 mins to Tesco and Asda. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed you. Greedy unethical capitalistic pigs basically! Taking full advantage of the cost of living crisis!

This Scotmid at Oxgangs Road North is concerningly filthy and I couldn't work there unless those till service areas were scrubbed . The whole place is desperately in need of a scrub in nooks and crannies .
The shelves are partially bare with zero stock replaced .
The Baguettes are disgusting , loaded with margarine and not filled properly .
Is this shop even managed anymore ? Can you please clean the kitchen area at the front and the back ? Some of the staff are lovely .

As the only local shop in the immediate area it is too expensive to actually buy anything from. For example £9-75 for a jar of coffee that can be bought from a supermarket for £7-00. A rip off.

Stock doesn't sell if you don't have it on the shop floor!

I needed minced beef, something that should be readily available. When I saw there wasn't any in the chilled cabinet I approached a staff member who was working in that dept to ask if there was any in the stock room and was told that there probably was but she wasn't willing to look for it!

Scotmid Oxgangs

Scotmid Oxgangs, what can I say? When I die I will have probably spent half my life stood in the queue in this store. Only ever 1 till operator on at any time and 2 self service tills which are card only ( which incidently is illegal under equalities legislation).

Totally disinterested staff, same with manager. Poor customer service, complain and the staff will tell you haoe hard done by they are! If you don't like your job don't do it.

All this whilst trying to convey a sense of high class. The only thing high is their deluded pricing. Hate this shop.

Wish I could give less than 1 star

Wish I could give less than 1 star, reviews on here speak volumes I fell in one of the shops due to wet floor & no sign, no one in the shop was interested & contacted customer services several time & no one ever got back to me
