Sainsbury's has axed a key feature of its stores leaving customers with no choice but to walk out as they brand the change 'ridiculous'.

The supermarket giant quietly got rid of its changing rooms last September, affecting a small number of outlets - though the exact figure is yet to be disclosed.

Shoppers are now being forced to try on clothing at home, The Sun reports, amid their frustration the removal is 'such a pain'.

They have even taken to X - formerly Twitter - to vent their disapproval, with a number sarcastically commenting 'Well done Sainsbury's'.

It comes as the lingering impact of the Coronavirus panic meant some customers were already asking questions as recently as 2023 as to why changing rooms were still closed for months after life returned to 'normal'.
