Hi Wally When you get an alternative product from Tesco, it is picked by a computer, so one of the delivery guys told me. And we all know how fallible computers can be.

Most, probably never do the shopping, mum and dad always do it for them. They simply have to turn up at meal times and eat it, having first complained about what was on offer. further more, I sometimes get the impression that they can't or won't read, because the notes we've added to items seem to go ignored. Well perhaps that's a bit harsh, maybe they're just under pressure and they do have to pick at least two orders simultaneously! I know not all kids are like this but the ones with more up top see the pay and say that it's not for them. I guess if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. smile. We once ordered a bottle of mouth wash and had it substituted with steredent! apart from mouths what do the two have in common that would make the steredent a good substitute? also this week we had some bananas that had obviously been broken off a larger bunch, oops sorry bananas come in hands, but on doing so they have split the skins. don't they know that if you want to successfully break a number of bananas off a larger hand you should grip and separate them at the top, not grip the bananas themselves because it's easier to get hold of them. Sorry, having a bad day today, took a bottle of milk, yes a new full one, out of the fridge and half of it was solid ice and the other half went everywhere when the bottom of the bottle fell out.. chuckle. No! it didn't come from Tesco. smile.

Ok I should of possible stated a longer date but haven't any of there pickers got any common sense or is this asking to much of them. I am really steaming over this one as this isn't the first time this has happened to me. If I have to I will start shopping some were else were they do take care of there customers.
