Shops "Traffic Light": customer and staff reviews, description and assortment

Until relatively recently in Russia there were literally legends about the shops "Traffic Light". Reviews immensely increased the dignity of the future supermarket. By the opening it was possible to expect that here they will distribute the goods for free, while also paying extra for the visit. As usual, the expectations of buyers were not fully justified. However, the network quickly spread throughout Russia, and even is already going to open branches in neighboring countries.

general description

The most economical and convenient for daily purchases are the "Traffic Light" stores. Comments of buyers spoiled by the abundance of supermarkets, while noting a weak service. Perhaps, these are just inflated demands, because you were promised the opportunity to buy inexpensive products near the house, and this also is worth something. Okay, but then let's look at everything in order.

Let's start with the hanger

Nothing surprises the modern buyer like the shops of "Traffic Light". The reviews emphasize that people were ready for a modest room with whitewashed ceilings, but here they did not even see it. After the huge "Lenta" and "Auchan", where everything is shining and sparkling, the shelves are flooded with light, and the goods are located so that they want to take it off the shelf, it's a bit dull here.

The interior of the stores resembles storage sheds with an iron door and a bright signboard. Gray walls, red banner with logical symbols and open doors. Well, maybe this is a special move to save money and not wind on the goods sold.

Information for the buyer

Immediately make a reservation, we are now talking about the general trend, which characterizes all the shops "Traffic Light." Reviews from different cities are slightly different, but similar features can be traced quite brightly. Before entering most of them there is no solid road surface. Near the doors there are stands with the latest information that could be most useful. The buyer is informed that he made a trip to the store, where prices are lower by 30% than in all others. For this, you can make a big discount and close your eyes to the lack of external gloss.

Go inside

What will surprise the buyer with the chain of stores "Traffic Light"? Reviews again are very different. Some have already got used to the idea that they came to a wholesale base rather than to a supermarket, but others continue to be surprised. No repairs, gray walls and shelves, little light. Many goods lie directly on the pallets, in principle the store is clean, but the general grayness creates a different impression. In general, comparing with large supermarkets, we can say that the rooms are quite small. There are a lot of goods, relatively rare and popular brands are found. This is understandable, because "Traffic Light" - a store of low prices. The reviews emphasize that once or twice a month it is worthwhile to come here to collect inexpensive everyday goods.

Product range

Despite the small size of shops, there is literally everything. A huge choice of canned food, stew, cereals, sugar, whole grocery, which does not spoil. Many buyers come here just to buy horns, stews and condensed milk. There is always a choice of inexpensive biscuits for tea, milk. The department of freezing is comparatively poor, but if you need it, buy fish, meat and poultry. Pleases the eyes of a huge range of household chemicals at very interesting prices. In addition, there is a baby food, clothes and shoes, tools and goods for the country.

Orientation to wholesale buyers

Indeed, at the entrance there is information that the minimum cost of purchases is 200 rubles. That is, no one will beat one chocolate. By the way, many products are immediately packed in several pieces, so with all the desire to buy a lot. It is very advantageous to take household chemistry and household goods here. Sponges, napkins, toilet paper - necessary, but boring trifle. Therefore, if you have already decided to call, then dial right away for a certain time ahead.

Now a little about the quality of the products. It all depends on the level to which you are accustomed. Of course, the trend can be traced very well. Here on the shelves you can often find brands completely unknown, the quality of which can only be guessed. In large supermarkets, the price range is wider, and the consumer has more choice. But this is also a small problem, among inexpensive goods it is quite possible to choose quite acceptable brands and in the future to buy only them.

Help and customer support

We are used to going to shops where smiling consultants are ready to put out the full information about the existing product, add the purchases to the package and bring it to the door. But you have to pay for everything. It is logical to assume that these services are already included in the price of the goods. And in this regard, too, differs from other networks store "Traffic Light." Reviews of employees spill a little light on what is happening.

It employs a relatively small number of personnel who need to ensure laying out and checking deadlines, work out for logistics and acceptance, make a write-off and kill the price tags in case of changes in the supplier's prices. There are a lot of works, it's not about smiles. Therefore, dear customers, in response to the question "where to find it", recommend to look roughly in the direction of the location of the goods. To stop this shock, once again rebuild your perception, you came not to an expensive supermarket, but to a store of low prices and you want to save a little.

Sports form is the best choice

Especially before major holidays, all the passes can be forced by boxes and boxes in which the goods are located. Of course, buyers add chaos when taken in one place, and then, changing their mind, leave in another. Therefore, you need a little preparation, before you go to the shop "Traffic Light." Feedback gives us feedback.

Workers of the store every day have to face the situation when the ladies come to an expensive light coat, and then begin to complain that they were barely squeezing themselves in too tight aisles and had to get the goods out of the dusty box. Comments are superfluous, here is just another format of service. If that does not suit you, you can go to another store.

The first "Traffic Light" in Kirov

The townspeople waited a long time for this event. Advertising began almost a year before the grand opening, and, as it is supposed, the first sale. Today, the shop "Traffic Light" in Kirov has become accustomed. Reviews about his work are quite warm. Inside here, too, looks more like a wholesale base, where many goods are exhibited simply in boxes. The territory of the store is large, there are almost no pointers, so you will have to walk a long time to study the entire range. Buyers are pleasantly surprised by the prices for such goods as wet wipes (29 rubles), packages for baking (18 rubles) and many other small things. However, you need to look carefully, because there is a lot of overdue goods. This is one of the main disadvantages. The first shop "Traffic Light" in Kurgan was opened. Reviews are similar, so we will not repeat.

View from the inside

Perhaps in your city, too, there is a chain of shops "Traffic Light." The feedback of the workers will help to understand whether it is worth considering it as a potential place of employment. It should be noted that the prospects are not very bright, but this trend is preserved for almost every trading network. The average salaries, demands and volumes of work are impressive, processing and penalties are the realities of the majority of the trade workers.

Staff turnover is high, so if you want, there is always an opportunity to try yourself in this field. The loads are large, the staff is almost always not enough, we have to work for two. Do not like it - do not hold for a long time, you can leave for a few days. In principle, if you have worked some time in a supermarket chain, then you are familiar with the work process from the inside. From the pros - almost always there are vacant seats and a shift schedule. Sometimes such conditions suit students.

Instead of concluding

The chain of stores "Traffic Light" triumphantly walks the country and finds its customers everywhere. As the reader has already understood, here little attention is paid to the external gloss, but they maintain a minimum price level. This fact alone is enough for people to come here to buy as a wholesale base. All the rest are trifles, which are inherent in any large store. Did not have time to remove the overdue goods from the shelves, made a re-order, you just need to be a little more careful and not rush to choose.
