Locating a Sainsbury’s photo booth
Sainsbury’s photo booths aren’t easy to find: You’ll have to use the chain’s store locator, which, unfortunately, forces you to jump through hoops.
Once you enter your location, select one of the shops on the list. On the page with store details, scroll down “Customer facilities” and look for a “Photo Booth.” Yes, it’s far from convenient, but it’s the only way to check if your preferred Sainsbury’s offers passport photos.
