The most complained about supermarkets and fast-food chains have been revealed.
TripAdvisor and Trustpilot are great places to check before you visit anywhere, with a wealth of knowledge shared in their review sections.
Its fair to say if something has a lot of one-star reviews, it may be worth giving it a miss.
The most complained about supermarkets
MrQ analysed thousands of TripAdvisor and Trustpilot reviews of popular supermarket chains, to reveal which stores receive the most one-star reviews.
Asda takes the lead as the UK’s supermarket with the most negative reviews, with three of every four reviewers leaving one-star.
The top five was rounded out by M&S, Sainsbury’s, Lidl and Iceland.
Waitrose was revealed to be the least complained about supermarket.
These are the most complained about supermarkets:
- Asda – 75% one-star reviews
- M&S – 73% one-star reviews
- Sainsbury’s - 71% one-star reviews
- Lidl - 67% one-star reviews

- Waitrose - 52% one-star reviews
The most complained about fast food chains
MrQ also looked at fast food chains.
While many people may manage their expectations when visiting a fast-food chain, a large percentage of customers visiting some of the world’s most famous establishments were clearly very unhappy with their visit.

- KFC - 79% one-star reviews
- Burger King - 74% one-star reviews
- Papa John’s - 73% one-star reviews
- McDonald’s - 72% one-star reviews

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
