Why I Hate Sainsbury’s Local

Über diese Folge

<p>This episode is a forensic breakdown of Sainsbury’s Local as a system, not a shop.</p><p>What’s sold as convenience is friction. What’s sold as efficiency is unpaid labour. What’s sold as design is psychological manipulation that fails the moment you’re tired, parenting, or in a hurry.</p><p>From hostile layouts and absent staff to self-checkout purgatory and inflated prices, this is a critique of how modern “local” supermarkets quietly disrespect time, dignity, and common sense.</p><p>This isn’t nostalgia. It’s not brand hate.</p><p>It’s a lived audit of consumer experience from the perspective of a father, a customer, and a human being who just wanted milk and left annoyed.</p><p>Includes an explicit comparison with Aldi, and why Aldi consistently wins on clarity, flow, and respect.</p><p>The Marvyn Harrison Podcast: culture, identity and fatherhood, hosted by the founder of Dope Black Dads.</p><br><p>Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarvynHarrison</p><p>Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-marvyn-harrison-podcast/id1456522027</p><p>Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3cIh6ejnk3lUUVhqSKzPUS</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marvynharrisonpodcast</p><p>Partnerships and sponsorship: marvyn@belovd.agency</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
