Hi Vince,
I should also add that Tesco are very good at customer relations as well,
certainly round here they are. Angie has nothing but praise for the
assistance she gets in Tesco when she does pop in. But I must admit, we
never ever do telephone shopping, either online, or in person, unless
telephone is the only way.
All the best

Hi Steve,
Another bouquet for Sainsbury's - although I'm seriously looking at
shopping
online, I've also had a good experience of going to the store and asking
for
assistance.
The last time I did this, a staff member joined myself and my wife (who is
a
wheelchair user), and the assistant was brilliant at interpreting what we
wanted, including finding 3 for 2 offers etc. (though I too will only buy
something I really want in the end).
That staff member must have spent an hour with us, and it would have all
taken a lot longer to do the shopping if we had not had the assistance.
So maybe retail outlets aren't quite done for yet.
Vince

Hi Gerry,
Can't find my original now, as you didn't quote it, but I don't recall
saying all, and if I did, I meant most. But yes, Sainsbury's is a good
system from what I have been told. However, I still think you can miss
some
special offers by not browsing. With the best will in the world, the
assistants can't give you loads of them, but you can, if you wish, browse
all day. That to me, is the advantage of online ordering. Before now
blind
people couldn't effectively browse, you had to know what you were looking
for, but with online, we have the same advantages as the sighted person
walking around the store browsing.
All the best

Hi Steve,
You make a lot of assumptions about telephone shopping.
Personally, I often shop via the telephone with Saimsbury's. My
sighted
wife says their goods compare favourably with other supermarket prices,
are
of better quality - a subjective measure, I appreciate - and one's
telephoned order is always followed up immediately with an e-mail giving
delivery details, price, and goods ordered. Easily readable!
[smile]
The Saimsbury's staff are friendly, helpfull - detailing special
offers
on the goods requested, etc.
Remember, when the word "all" is used in an argument, it oftens
weakens
it. Use some or most - much better.
Kind regards,
Gerry.
