I no longer shop there because the staff treat you like a problem rather than someone who keeps them employed, and thats even before you have a problem with one of their products.
I find staff at every other supermarket better.You guys are so tame.Originally posted by zeitghostIndeed.
Heard one assistant tell a customer to "use your flipping eyes" when asked where something was.
I was in a Tesco in the Czech Republic when some guy took 15 items through a 10 items or less checkout. She made him choose which 5 items he didn't want then threw the basket across the checkout.
That's customer service. I bet he won't try that again.Comment

I bought some Tesco’s finest dolmades only to find the jaw unscrewed without any resistance or the usual pop from the vacuum release, lucky I had a spare tin from a branded manufacturer.
Tesco's are getting a bit too 'Asda' for my liking, back to Sainsbury's in future.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

The thing that annoys me is Tesco has a pretense of being a higher standing supermarket, there as in Aldi and the other cheap ones who state they are cheap there is no pretense and the service is actually better."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
