Hi Carol
I used to shop at Sainsbury's.  I would go to the help desk and they
would get a member of staff to go round with me.  However, the staff
they chose included the 'Meet and greet' girl, the 16 year old guy who
collects the trolleys in the car-park and the newsagent staff who don't
know the store.  At the Tesco' Superstore  I have had students who don't
do shopping as they "live with their parents".  The best service is at
the smaller Tesco store where I have never had any complaints.

If we work on the 'pay peanuts' principal, I don't think I will be
shopping in store at Asda as the wages their are, I believe, pretty bad.
However, I am waiting for my first delivery from them with on-line
shopping.

Barry H

  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.
