SPAR 693 Irishtown, Kilkenny, County Kilkenny R95 CFT6

"It's still a great store, but compared to the frankly fantastic quality of many other spar stores, the one is lacking. 3/5"

"Good spot to get petrol or diesel, lotto quickpicks, sweets and biscuits and there is a good deli. There are some gealthier options too. We got a nice hungarian pinot grigio white wine too. Staff are good for the banter too!"

"Wanted a 99 but was told it was broken then was told it needed to be cleaned and couldn't do it because she was on her own ... nope point in having a nice cream machine if they dont want to serve it"

"A foreign national has no relevance to the standard of service expected by anyone, just so happens it was a foreign national who served me in the deli today, and she was so ignorant, the order i asked for as well was burnt, won't ever go again, also will be telling others of my experience... Who ever owns this place, get serious"

"Use to be better before foreigners took over, little or no English, very poor customer service and just annoying! My last visit I asked a guy if they had tin foil , instead he hands me cling film and I had to correct him. Handed him a 2 euro coin and instead of putting it into the till like a regular folk he held it in his hand continuely saying 2 euros, being confused I asked what was he on about and he says " 2 euros, so?! no change! " as in get out, no thank you no nothing! point is I was actually waiting for a reciept but I walked away annoyed, I found him to be rude and just not able for the job. My partner also had problems understanding a lady here in the past.. Its very off putting.. Its an Irish chain based company, not to be racist, but dont hire foreigners just because they will work for a penny an hour, especially when they dont know basic grammer skills and cant form a full sentance!! Supervalue is a little further away but to be honest, less hassle!"
