Supermarkets in Garden Centres - is this right?

What is the problem with this? Apart that I would be tempted to buy more plants?

Why would you take a dog into a garden centre? There should be a rail to tie them up to in a shady place with ready access to water.

I now buy most of my fruit and veg in my local market, but, generally, when I do buy from a supermarket, my main complaint is that it is under ripe, too under ripe to ripen properly.

I always take my dog to the local garden centre! Well behaved dogs are welcome there. I don’t advocate leaving a dog tied up outside - thieves and small unsupervised children come to mind.

Totally agree with you there - you should never leave a dog tied up outside any shop. There has been a spate of dog thefts right across the country, so for anyone to leave a dog outside a shop (or bar/cafe/restaurant - whatever) is the height of irresponsibility. I quite often see people with dogs in our local Dobbies and they never seem to be causing any problems.

Our Dobbies has Waitrose now. I never shop in Waitrose so no idea about prices but even when it was Sainsburys I didn't use it. Preferred the shop Dobbies had before they went to supermarkets. Do go for my coffee and garden centre stuff and DGS2 uses the soft play and feeds the fish, sometimes sees ducks on the pond and likes the play park bit. It's a morning out for us.
