Can anyone prove to me that they actually exist.

I see reason no:46 etc... platered all round the store, but i have never seen reason one and the likes...

So if anyone knows them, or has a link, please let me know.

Cheers!

Maybe Sean Bean knows...he voices the adverts and might be privy to the secretive inner workings of Morrison's.

Can't say I've ever noticed any! Then again, I just follow the missus like a good lad while she makes a massive hole in our bank account.

So do you believe everything you see in adverts?

I'd be very surprised if they've already thought out what all the reasons are.

It basically gives them an advertising template to work on, as they hope it will be long running and increase public awareness.

Having shopped at Morrisons I don't think they could realy come-up with 100 reasons if they tried.

There are only two for me:

1) It's closer than Tesco
2) It's bigger than CO-OP

Um, let's see...

My reasons to shop at Morrisons:

1) Big, free carpark for access to the rest of Hillsborough
2) Can get keys cut and shoes soled at the same time as shop
3) I like the challenge of keeping up with food that magically rots EXACTLY on the use by date, or sometimes even sooner!
4) I like riding travelators
5) It's opposite Maplins (see reason 1: carpark)

That's five to keep you going... any more?

They will have made the 100 reasons, as it would be illegal to advertise such a thing, if it didnt exist.

I will demand to see a copy of them, next time i visit. :)

Are you sure?

Aren't the reasons are generally fairly subjective? If there were really 100 good reasons why you should shop at Morrissons then surely noone would shop anywhere else?

Anyway, if someone did sue them they could always just make some up!

I've got a reason for NOT shopping at Morrisons:

They never seem to clean the baking trays between making teacakes and regular breadcakes, meaning that thousands of their breadcakes are innappropriately tainted with raisins.

Horrible. How hard can it be to wash some trays?

As you say, it's subjective - 100 "GOOD" reasons are only good reasons in their opinion, which is obviously going to be a bit biased.

More generally do people think that Supermarket bosses really believe that they are significantly different to other supermarkets.

There are differences between different stores, but that tends to be down to the individual management of each store I think, rather than which company they are.

i don't think you can sue for false advertising unless you can prove that you were tricked into buying something.
Since they aren't advertising a product, but a store I doubt the ASA would even bother with it if you complained.
If they made a promise about a product that was false, then you'd have grounds for money back or compensation and to have the advert withdrawn.

Afterall, think of the advertising slogans that are patently not true.
Bacardi - making the world a more beautiful place.
I'm sure other people can think of more, my mind has gone a blank.

A beer advert about reaching the places other beers can't?

Ahem !!!!!

Its an advertisement people!!!!!

:loopy:

maybe they shoul say 100 reasons not to shop at morrissons am sure that would be more truthful. I went in on saturday got half way round put my basket down and walked out.

But that is true, if you drink enough Bacardi the world does become a nicer place, at least until the next morning.

We promised never to speak of that whole incident again :cry:

I'd definately go to Morrissons more often if it was Sean Bean handing me the bananas off their 'reason number blah' hooks.

As I see it. The majority of these reasons are exactly the same reasons to shop at other supermarkets.

:lol: I can't believe this thread is still going! It's just a meaningless, gimmickly marketing slogan, certainly not to be taken seriously!

Also Bacardi trying to sell itself as a cool Cuban brand when it's only link with the island over the last few decades has been to sponsor terrorism against tourists.



The one and only reason I need for shopping at Morrisons is it's chocolate milk

If you read the banana one it says something like “hanging the way nature intended”

But bananas in nature hang the other way up :loopy:

I worked in Morrisons about 9 years ago in Hillsborough as a checkout operator. I remember a few months before I left that one particular brand of condoms came up on the checkout as 'no register' meaning you had to call through to a supervisor to get a price. :blush:

I NEVER charged anyone, so probably owe Morrisons a shed load of money! I was far too embarrassed as a nineteen year old to shout that word down the intercom, and found it easier to give them away. :clap:

Incidentally, as having worked there for a considerable time, I NEVER bought anything prepared on the premises! Bring your own conclusions! However, am now a vegetarian....

I thought there were only 100 reasons?

I was wrong. I am sure the original adverts said 100 reasons, until they realised they could go on forever with it.

Very clever Hade... you don't work for Morrisons do you per chance?

Not for about 5 years luv, I used to cook chickens, and on the odd occasion behead and gut fish - nice!

i have even asked the members of staff at the store and they wont tell me.
going on the posters in-store there are about 300.
do they just make them up or are there a set number.
seems daft but i feel that i really need to know.

Do you ever think you should get out more??

Oh no, I now feel I also need to know

Actually, there are no reasons; their blueberry muffins aren't very nice

Pro'lly not as many as there are to stay away. Nasty place!

"No reason to shop at morreasons" nicely fits their jingle.

You have asked the staff and they won't tell you.... you counted the posters..... are there a set number?

I think each store is individual on amount of posters depending on its size and turnover. You need to see your doctor or keep taking the pills. :hihi:

I only shop there cause Sean Bean tells me to!

And yes, I would jump off a cliff if he told me to.....mmmmm

Well there is no reason to buy your fruit and veg there as it rots really quickly.

Sadly (for me!) I was wondering the same thing... Some of the so-called "reasons" seem a little uninspiring
"Reason 243 - we sell bread and milk"
"Reason 751 - we're just round the corner"
etc.

Here's one reason not to.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4468688.stm

According to the National Consumer Council, Morrisons is the most unhealthy supermarket to shop in.

Yes there fruit and veg dosn't last very long at all!!

I said that to my sister (who shops there) and she completely dissagreed, then she found a mouldy plum in the bottom the punnet she had bough the day before - Ha !

Their fruit and veg is terrible, but they do have a butcher in-store and sell things like ox tail, liver, kidney, heart - yum !

Mod note: threads merged

never had a problem with my fruit and veg from morrisons going off before I get to use them, and being veggie I buy many and varied examples of both! CAnt beat it for prices on (my particular) weekly shopping...pounds cheaper than everywhere else (including allegedly cheaper asdas)
as for the number of reasons....infinite I should imagine

Originally posted by joeyannie

I don't think ASDA are "allegedly" cheaper, they win the cheapest shop of the year award every year, I can't remember Morrisons ever winning it.

ASDA is the cheapest shop if you want to buy a trolly full of smart price beans. For me... Morrisons is cheaper.

According to Tesco's price check

http://www.tesco.com/price_check_search/

they all charge the same, so it's just down to perception.

Reason 57: We take care in placing and dragging shelf stock on racks purposly in your way and then stop and have a chat with another store assistant with a huge rack, so you end up sandwiched between a convo about poor pay and missing the football cos they are working saturday.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr :(

well, I did the same shop (standard tins of toms, beans, fruit and veg) as I normally do at morrisons at tescos this week (as my mum sent me vouchers!) and my normal trolley load that comes to about £25 at morrisons was £38 at tescos...so some of their price comparisons must be wrong! (fortunatley the whole shop was free anyway...thanks mum!

According to a friend of mine who works there, there is a booklet with all the reasons in hung up in the staff room - her attempts to steal it, to show me failed though :P.

Not sure if its just the 'already revealed' ones, or a certain number
