Been
coming
here
for
years
and
was
really
excited
about
the
renovations.
The
space
itself
is
a
beast
and
the
restaurant
and
outside
páteo
was
a
great
addition.
However,
I
can't
ignore
the
fact
that
the
cleaning
crew,
although
really
friendly,
do
not
clean
the
restaurant
and
the
coffee
shop
tables
and
chairs
properly.
I
always
get
nauseated
with
the
smell
of
old
milk
and
coffee
when
I
sit
down
to
eat.
This
particular
supermarket
is
facing
a
few
issues,
just
like
any
other
big,
new
supermarket
in
summer
time
in
Caldas
da
Rainha:
not
enough
staff
for
the
increased
number
of
customers.
Tills
are
slow,
products
may
be
scarce,
and
the
teams
are
slow
to
restock.
Also,
and
this
is
what
made
me
lower
the
rating
to
one
star,
is
the
fact
that
every
Pingo
Doce
employee
I
have
met
and
interacted
has
either
been
extremely
avoidant
and
ignored
me
or
was
super
unfriendly
and
rude.
On
my
last
visit,
the
staff
from
the
coffee
shop
was
rude
to
me
and
my
mom,
although
the
lady
then
started
melting
when
she
was
talking
to
the
gentleman
behind
me
who
was
handsome,
young
and
fit.
Also,
when
we
were
paying
for
groceries
the
cashier
yelled
at
us
to
not
put
the
groceries
before
she
cleaned
the
conveyer
belt,
and
after
she
finished
with
the
customer
in
front
of
me,
which
took
about
5
minutes,
she
never
cleaned
the
conveyer
belt
and
asked
us
to
leave
because
her
till
was
closing.
Would
have
been
fine
if
she
told
me
before
hand
she
was
closing
after
the
customer
in
front
of
me,
but
she
made
me
wait
5-7
minutes
before
she
decided
to
let
me
go.
Many
tills
were
apparently
closing
at
that
time
and
I
ended
up
using
the
self
service
machines,
although
they
are
not
the
best
for
a
bigger
amount
of
groceries.
I
just
wish
they
added
more
workers
so
the
staff
can
be
less
overworked.
It
really
impacts
the
customer
service.
Also,
I've
seen
customers
complaining
about
the
bakery,
I
am
really
okay
with
the
new
system
in
the
bakery
where
we
take
the
products
ourselves
with
our
hands,
I've
seen
similar
systems
in
Continente
and
LIDL,
but
bear
in
mind
people
may
not
be
considerate
and
touch
the
food
they
are
not
buying
with
their
own
hands.
This
supermarket
used
to
be
the
place
where
I
would
go
for
bigger
shopping,
because
of
the
different
products
they
would
sell.
But
after
the
renovations
the
product
choices
decreased
and
the
staff
is
not
very
welcoming
anymore.
