Trouble is Carol that Tesco, like many supermarkets, often employ people
with learning difficulties to stack shelves etc. and these people, often
willing and as helpful as they want to be, simply cannot do the job.
I suspect too that if people do mention favourable experiences at their
local store, it is more likely down to luck, or an enlightened store manager
at that branch.

Wally,
I can agree wholeheartedly with what you write and, although my husband
does the bulk of the shopping, he is often given someone to help him who
cannot read, never shops for themselves and doesn't know where anything
is in the store. I have been thinking of trying Tesco again. (When we
were in London we had a disastrous delivery . . . and I won't bore you
all with the problems now.) Your comments have made me wonder if it's
really worth having another go. If anyone therefore has some good,
positive stories and has had good service for some time, please say so.

the pickers are often low paid youngsters, probably school kids who want
to earn a few bob but don't either care, think or know about these
issues. 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.

Hello Barry I would be very interested in any article you can send me on
this, I spoke to there customer service and they tell me as long as
they are sold by midnight of the date stated on the packet they are
within there right to sell it to you. 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.
