"I live in town so this is my go-to supermarket. I prefer the modern feel to it than the other big one in town which has a run-down vibe to it. Most products are usually in stock, they have a fair amount of specials and the staff in general are friendly. Somewhat annoyingly, the self-service areas that have the long conveyers are often taped off meaning you have to use one of the cramped ones that aren't great for larger shops. Of course you'll have a staff member watching you like a hawk (even though I go there all the time I feel like a criminal) but I guess due to all the scum in town trying it on they're only doing their job. Parking is generally OK unless it's at peak times with Lime Street feeling increasingly like Swanston Street. Occasionally you'll have a beggar outside making you feel uneasy but overall it's generally a good experience shopping at Coles."
