Had to select 1 star to submit the review. Been going to this supermarket for over handful of years but the worst incident where the security guard just kept following me around and acted so awkward and made me really uncomfortable and even had to tell the nearby staff who was shelving to keep an eye on me in a very obvious way. All I was doing was crouching to read all the acne products to see which would be the best for me and had to open my jacket to crouch properly. I ended up having a chat with the Duty Manager and told her it is not right to be treated as a looter or stealer or a suspect, just because I am a dark skinned guy, wearing dark clothes and not according to standard with other's made up pretentious dresscode, doesn't mean that I am going to steal something. Absolutely the worst experience I have had with this place, seriously reconsidering changing to other supermarket. If you are dark skinned, just go somewhere else. No one should be treated as such because of their skin color. Learn better and at least get educated in removing racism and treat...
Read moreSo upon hearing about an entire "New World" just up the road from where I live, I could barely contain my excitement. My excitement grew to what can be only described as fanatic when I read tales of Christopher Columbus also visiting a whole "New World".
Excited, and extraordinarily nervous for my trip to this New World, I packed a few of my most personal belongings and embarked on my journey.
The Uber Ride was short, and not at all akin to the treachery faced by Christopher C. but hey, not all New Worlds are going to be identical right?
I was also aware of the possible presence of native inhabitants who would be unacquainted with modern western practices and beliefs.
Upon arrival however, I was surprised to see a carpark and a supermarket. It was smaller than anticipated, and most of the foods I had seen before, while the inhabitants were mostly just the self-entitled jack-weasels who live on my street. But I otherwise thoroughly enjoyed my...
Read moreMy local New World. Decent prices, if you pretend they aren’t part of the duopoly bleeding new zealanders dry and turning over an excess profit of a million dollars a day. the parking lot is like the wild west- there’s no telling what dangers await you on your next visit. the store itself is not much better (layout-wise, at least). The checkout staff are usually friendly, or at least not unfriendly. One time they didn’t give me my stupid little sticker to put in my stupid little book and get a step closer to winning my stupid little fancy cup collection. That hurt. I do enjoy the ambience when visiting at night, though that’s not specific to this particular supermarket, I just think there’s an appeal to visiting such a place at night. They have a limited cranberry juice selection in stock, but plenty of canned soups. Overall it’s a pretty decent supermarket, but an average-or-slightly-below-average new world. i hope that...
