There was a '...I had a similar experience today. There was a 'two for £1' offer on Tesco handwash, except that the shelf was completely bare save for a single remaining bottle of handwash. I went to the Customer Service desk and asked if I could have it for 50p. The girl initially said yes and took me to the till to tell the girl on the till. Unfortunately it was a higher-rank woman on the till, and she made someone go and look for another bottle to complete my offer. When the member of staff returned without one, she refused to let me have the last one for 50p. I'm thinking Asda will be getting my custom more often in future ...

...NTWICM 83! With graphic design from 1983 too! :)<br /><br />But with modern day ethics and selling practice. I can't vouch for Sainsbury or Asda, but Morrisons are buggers for overcharging too. It seems to be commonplace for supermarkets to have pricing anomalies which can be attributed to computer errors or small print. Big business rely on shoppers to be too stressed, or too busy to check the receipt. I know I don't usually check.Jameshttp://www.post-boxes-uk.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838890697900249749.post-45590522379233171782012-11-20T17:04:23.855+00:002012-11-20T17:04:23.855+00:00No - clearly not a one-off and such comments can b...No - clearly not a one-off and such comments can be found all over the net. It's silly really as at one time they used to be so good over this sort of thing. I remember once about 15 years ago getting home from big Tesco and discovering that they had charged me twice for a 24 pack of coke. I had no proof, but went back to the store and not only did they refund me double the difference (giving me back about 12 quid) they gave me another 24 cans as well!! It's very hard to imagine this happening today. Seems there has been a sea change in attitude - and within the store it seems that management are squarely to blame - most of the actual staff are fairly sympathetic!<br /><br />I've found some quite amusing comments on the internet about management in various Tesco stores - my favourite one was something along the lines as far as I can remember it "the managers here seem more interested in shagging their employees than helping customers" which did make me chuckle! Of course I am sure such things don't go in Bicester. lol<br /><br />Anyway if it all goes tits up you could always jump ship across the road to Sainsbury! Head of their new in-store Bakery suit you? xJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218364637499192578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838890697900249749.post-24069594856977565032012-11-20T16:31:39.838+00:002012-11-20T16:31:39.838+00:00I might work there, but I do understand how you fe...I might work there, but I do understand how you feel- there has been alot of changes there recently and not all of them for the better- I would urge you to write to head office and make them aware as this clearly isn't a one off, or you could write on the official Tesco Facebook page as I know that customer service representatives moderate the page and usually reply to any grievances raised x<br />Helennoreply@blogger.com
