[access-uk] Re: Tesco access website?

not that cheap no and I agree Lidl is cheaper and you can get some good food 
from there.

Unfortunately, nothing is for free and finding the staff to help take you round 
there is difficult.

If you think that sometimes in Tesco the staff are unable to read as well as 
you may hope, you need to check out Lidl.  I think the interview process must 
go something like 
Interviewer: "how many fingers have I got up?"

Answer from candidate "3" 
Interviewer response "well actually it's 4 but you got it to within one, so you 
start tomorrow"
So not only do you get true zombies walking about on the shop floor but you get 
very few of them.

My experience is that most people really do struggle with Lidle, so going there 
with a sighted friend is really the only option.

Cheers

  Graham. Lidl is cheap. Tesco is not.

    but the food's cheap, they deliver well when they say they will and the 
main site is relatively accessible.

    Colin, for those of us living in London, we tend to use tesco because of 
the language and other difficulties that often exist when shopping meaning that 
assistants often have poor english skills or reading is not for whatever reason 
one of their strengths.  Given your objection on ethical grounds, what would 
you suggest people use as an alternative?

    Don't say use local small shops either.  Virtually all of them round here 
are now small bangladeshi places as that is the main local community.  These 
shop owners will often be as helpful as possible but english really is an 
issue.  Wouldn't wonder too near with a guide dog either as you might cause 
either shop owners or customers to have a heart attack!

    For these reasons, online shopping is particularly important.

      Damen,

      We shouldn't be supporting Tesco! The company that was at fault for 
paying their mental health user employees with food vouchers, and the same 
organisation that is paying fruit pickers less than 38 pence per day for a 12 
hour day!

        Oh dear. Call me behind the times but I've only just gone to see the 
new accessible Tesco website. It's very disappointing. 

        I've given up after taking 10 or 15 minutes to order a tray of baked 
potatoes and some tinned chick peas. 

        It takes far too long now. 

        Is anyone in touch with Nick Lansley from Tesco, about this? Are any 
changes in the pipeline? 

        Thanks
