I love Tesco!

[milly143]

Does anyone think the sun shines out of tesco's behind??? I'm sorry about posting this but I just had to share with everyone how fab I think they are, in all aspects of their service. Why can't all retailers be like Tesco.

LOL milly- a new one near me opened on Monday just gone, I was counting down the weeks till the 11th, and I was there at 8.30am giddily pushing a new sparkly trolly through it's doors!

I'm so sad!

I think all supermarkets are much of a muchness really.  Once Tesco double-charged me for my shopping and refused to believe me, forcing me to run around obtaining bank statements and receipts to prove their mistake.  I haven't been keen on them since.

[JulieEve]

Not keen either... there are two near me.  One has the aisles so close together you are virtually queueing to get round as you cant get past the other trollies. 

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 shop at Tesco and think they're excellent. I also think the time is not too far away, when we'll pay a monthly percentage of our wages straight to Tesco, covering food, petrol, insurance, mortgage, personal loans, funeral expenses etc. straight from my bank to their bank. They get guaranteed spending, contributers will get price reductions and special deals.

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!

i used to shop at tesco but it got too expensive, came to around �70 a week, online, so switched to asda.com and now pay around �50 for same if not more stuff

[jridgeback]

I do my food shopping in M&S and I think their food, but especially their service, is second to none. The staff are more helpful than anywhere, sometimes Tesco's staff are not very knowledgeable about the products.

[catanory]

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

[Zen]

Doh !! You just beat me to it catanory,took the words off my keyboard,your Tesco must be iust like our local,fortunately ours is next to Lidl and just across the road it's Kwiksave.

[dmsjps]

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.

I am not keen on Tesco.I haven't shopped there for ages.Like dmjsps I prefer to shop locally and for the rest we have an excellent Somerfield just down the road.
However.......I had a an old clubcard voucher for �3 so ordered some stuff on line from them to be delivered yesterday.Our Tesco is quite a long way away for us.No car.Only ordered heavy cumbersome stuff like dog food,washing powder and so on,nothing fresh.The chap delivered it ,I signed his book thing and off he went.We then discoverd he had given us two extra bags of frozen food that was not on my order.So I phoned them up and they said there was nothing they could do about it.They couldn't contact the driver or the store so said I had better keep the stuff.So some poor soul didn't get their order at all.I got a load of frozen food for nothing which I split with my neighbour.But I am still not a great fan.

[Sammy Snake]

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!!

[Sammy Snake]

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!!!

[Jules001]

I normally shop at Tesco and was a fan until I bought something that was nearly a year out of date, every week since then I have been coming across food on the shelves that is out of date and reported them to Environmental Health. Things have got better in my local store, although I did query why my weekly bag of pistachio nuts went up in the space of one week from �1.89 to �2.05. I have today shopped at Morrisons and I think I am converted. I got a fantastic 16 piece white dinner service for �4.99 (well actually I bought two) something I have been wanting for a while now - so I am a very happy bunny and looking forward to my evening meal tonight off of one of my new plates!

[Wispy68]

I think Tesco is great, too! Can usually get everything I need and at pretty good prices! Used to shop in Asda, but always ended up going (a few more miles) to Tesco afterwards, as Asda never seemed to have everything on my shopping list, so Tesco always gets my custom nowadays!!! 

[funkychicken]

I don't think tescos is that fab, admittedly I do like their clothes coz its cheap but we always end up getting overcharged when we go there and then you have to wait in the customer service queue for 15 minutes while the staff run round like headless chickens until you get your money back

[smurfchops]

Went to my local Tesco yesterday and most of the fruit was bruised and looked like it had been there for two months, and the oranges were the size of lemons.  Also getting out of the car park can be a real pain, the traffic onto the local bypass can be horrendous and you can be sitting in your car for 3/4 on a hot Saturday afternoon....  Might give Asda a try but don't like the MacDonalds restaurant.
