United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Sainsbury’s goes from bad to worse.
They stopped doing hot food in the cafe. Then the cafe was closed six months later due to a lack of business, what a shock.
Those ‘nectar price’ so called discounts which are often just a non card holder surcharge.
Then they started asking you to scan your receipt to leave the store. Screw that I’m not a performing monkey. No one cares if you set the alarm off walking through anyway so what’s the point.
Last time I was there there was a big tv beeping at me and showing a video with a facial recognition thing as I went past.
Truly dismal experience. I mostly go to Aldi these days.
Primark has the receipt scan thing as well now, except it's to open the exit gate. What else're they gonna do when they minimise the amount of human workers 🙄 I was mainly pissed off that they force wasteful printing of coated paper. I know Primark's stock kind of relies on slave labour but assaulting the environment is a new low
Last time I was there the self checkout kicked up fuck, and wouldn't let me pay until a staff member confirmed that the basket was empty. It got confused by there being 2 baskets instead of just the one.
