Reply to: TESCOS....A threat to consumer safety ?

You guys are so tame.

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.

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.

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.

I'd love to see that happen more often here.

Tesco's customer service is s***,

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.

Indeed.

Heard one assistant tell a customer to "use your flipping eyes" when asked where something was.

Am I paranoid, or does anybody else share my concerns?

No, but the tops are initially connected to the spout, so any tampering is evident.

Correct. See my geeky update

Tropicana cartons no longer have that plastic ring pull, and haven't done for ages.

Well, the assistant looked at me as if I was crazy, but there have been instances in the past of drinks in supermarkets being laced with poison, so to abandon the use of safety tops makes me think that THEY are crazy!!

<denny>Ring up, complain, have the assistant fired, then shot for good measure </denny>

[Platypus]

Has anybody else come across this situation and drunk the contents without any concern?

It sounds like it, and if so, I am less than impressed with Tesco 'Customer Services'. I will check the other cartons the next time that I am in the store.
