'Too cold to shop' in St Martin's food store
A FOOD store in St Martin's has been branded as too cold to shop in by a customer who compared it to being locked in a freezer.
Mamerta Ray, 47, pictured, has shopped at the Co-operative Grande Marche store for the past 10 years and had no reason to complain.
But the pharmacy dispenser started to notice a drop in temperature over several weeks despite wearing a thick coat and scarf.
'After shopping about one hour I feel like I have been locked in the freezer.
'When I go now I quickly dash in, grab what I want and rush out because of how cold it is – I couldn't stop to browse for things.
'This shop is one of the best, and I do not want to have to go somewhere else, but if it continues like this I will have no other choice.
'I have always been very happy with everything, however, I now feel very disappointed and unheard.'
A spokesperson for the Channel Islands Co-operative confirmed the heating was broken and 'work to fix it was under way'.
