ICTChris Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ...and the worst Edinburgh shop has to be the Esso at Canonmills. Used to be an unwritten rule that everything was free after 2am. Usually about 5 c***s quite visibly shoplifting at a time in there. Obviously more hassle than it's worth to police the level of lawlessness going on. The Free Derry of Edinburgh retail. It's now an M&S garage. Sometimes there's a guy begging outside it at night, no-one seems to move him on. I fucking hate Scot Mid, it's such a trampy shop. Sells very little of quality and is always packed with absolute scum. The staff tend to be gossipy old fishwives or vacant fat 22 year olds.

Tamdunk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Why is it when you go for the weeks messages at Tesco you'll say "I'm away to Tesco" or if you go to Asda you'll say "That's me away to Asda" or Sainaburys you'll cry "I'm just nipping out to sainsburys". Marks & Spencer, Lidle, Iceland etc are all dealt with in a similar fashion. BUT... You'll simply say "I'm away to the store" and everyone will know your away to Scotmid???? Madness!!

Urban Gorilla Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Is Scotmid an East Scotland store only? I have heard of them but can't remember ever having been in one or seen one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Is Scotmid an East Scotland store only? I have heard of them but can't remember ever having been in one or seen one They used to be predominantly based in the east, stretching about as far west as Falkirk. However, they must have bought some Glasgow Co-op stores as well as you see them round here. They also own Semi-Chem so have their tentacles in Northern Ireland and Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think Scotmid is a fairly recent addition up here as well. They used to mostly either be Alldays or Morning Noon and Night shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I have a story about Scotmid. The drunkest I have ever been was when i was crawling up an Edinburgh street on my hands and knees trying to find my mate or his flat after the club. I was fucked. Didn't know where he lived, what his street was, where he was or anything. I vaguely remember members of the public walking past me and offering no help as I struggled up the street on a path to nowhere. Anyway I managed to haul myself to my feet and get a taxi. With no idea where to go I could only think of one thing - there was a Scotmid near my mates flat. I screamed/slurred in the drivers face "take me to SCOTMID. TAKE ME TO SCOTMID." I don't know how many Scotmids there are in edinburgh but i shall presume there is many. taxi driver drives to Scotmid. he stops and and the cab door slides open to reveal my mate and I fall into his arms. It was emotional. We still don't know how we found each other but it was a small miracle. A story that would melt even the coldest of hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
