Smaller supermarket but stocks most of the essentials. Friendly, helpful staff when trying to locate products and also at the till.

Some lovely staff, some not so. One in particular holds onto higher value items at the checkout as if she expects you to do a runner, despite the fact that you've been frequenting the store for years and are totally familiar to her. Makes you feel uncomfortable, like some kind of deviant. Stock items which sell out quickly are not replenished, often for weeks at a time. The constant presence of Big Issue sellers at the door is very off-putting. I've every sympathy with homeless people and regularly donate to various charities. That said, I once paid £5 for a copy outside of the store and now am generally accosted when they're present, which is pretty much each time I visit. It makes you feel as if you should pay each time you pass or you're somehow heartless.

Staff are always so rude in here, make you feel completely unwelcome and half the time ignore you're even in the shop or waiting for them.

Takes the hassle out of parking your car at all the other supermarkets and a better choice of food sometimes it's better to pay a few pence more for quality

I find it good shopping at this store and convenient for Amazon lockers.
One of the staff Daisy is extra helpful.

Pretty smal but average size for most co-op's round here. Has what you need.

Went in to get myself a snack and a drink this morning, self scanned, had my money ready, comes up that I need age verification for an energy drink. Fair enough.I wait a good few minutes and nobody is available. No one approaches, and the only staff member I see is restocking the fruit and veg. She sees me, puts a finger to her headset, carries on. Still no assistants come to assist. Shouted "Does nobody work in here?" Still nothing. Cleaner buffing the floor ignores me. Abandoned my shopping and went a few doors along to Greggs.

Usually love this Co op store on cockerton Green darlington, however, went in recently and while at counter I noticed collection of dirt behind monitor near card payment equipment, I mentioned this to female assistant who said its like that because they can't get behind the screens to clean it, I put my hand there just above it and proved it could easily be reached and cleaned, she just ignored me after that. Been in since and exactly the same dirt there not been cleaned.

I had a delivery today which was very prompt but got a pack of sausages with just 1 days use by date. It's unfair
