The other one - the mega-kind - I had a job to find any fruit veg or groceries with more than 2 days worth of use-by dates on them. No good when you only shop once a week. Will be sticking to Morrisons.
I thought Tesco was fab until a couple of weeks ago when I went to a larger store that had "self check out" things. I merrily scanned all my shopping, then swiped my switch card. The machine merrily printed my receipt and told me to have a nice day. Absolutely NO Id checking at all! I had just PRESUMED it would ask me for my PIN. I was horrified! It's all very well and good having a CCTV camera pointed on these things, but the people rarely get caught from that footage!
I thought the whole thing was poor form from Tesco. Otherwise - very good stuff!
sorry, i have to say, i think they are rubbish. they never have enough stock - always running out of fresh baked bread and even milk!! the aisles have large gaps in them all over the place... i could go on all night. and if you dare to shop for fresh fruit and veg any time after mid-day sat, i guarantee i will only get half of what i want. am i allowed to say the store is kettering? i think, for �8billion they need to care about customers a little more.
take care
Tesco's OK: you can just about manage it without going bananas. Asda's crap (I hate to say, as a Yorkie): once you get past the clothes/household bits it's boring. Sainsbury's is: you really think I'm gonna pay those prices and then get to the till and put up with that attitude? Morrisons are cool (another Yorkie company, by the way!) and the staff are OK, but I still go to the butcher for meat, the veg shop for fruit & veg and do the rest in the supermarket. I can't help it; I refuse to pay those prices for fresh food.
Chillum's point is very interesting - and utopia or what? But I just wouldn't trust it to be done that way unless money was no object. I wouldn't trust them not to give me the deals, etc.
Well I think Tesco is fab! Have tried most of the other major supermarkets (if not all) but still find myself going back to Tesco time and time again.
As for Marks and Spencer, yes, their quality and service may well be second to none and their produce is very tasty and good quality but as much as I would love to, I can't afford to shop there - way to expensive!!
Oh yes, I almost forgot, in answer to Chillum, I worked for a high street bank until recently and they bought in a system about 3 years ago where you could opt to receive part or all of your wages in Tesco vouchers!!! (or Sainbury's). For every �9 of salary you got a �10 voucher - how good is that!!!
