Brought this over fromthe mis prices only thread..........wookie wrote:do not now if this is the righr site but any way it makes a good read
found this on the " VERY LITTLE HELPS SITE "
I am a manager for Tesco. Firstly, I just want to make one point, no one is forced to shop at Tesco, if you have so much complaint about it, simply don't shop there. How boring life must be to spend time moaning about a supermarket! I have no complaint about my company, and the only bad treatment I have ever received is at the hands of customers including acts of unjustified aggression and threats of assault If any of you had the slightest idea about the work and effort that goes into providing the service to the customer at Tesco then you may think twice about the comments posted on this site. I just think that everyone is jealous of Tesco's position and no one likes to see anything successful. Why don't we celebrate a great British company.
My second point is about all these comments and dedicated websites on Tesco mispricing. Yes I admit on occasion there will be some pricing errors, either human error where a member of staff misses changing a label over or a computer error centrally. However, there are systems in place and a dedicated department to make sure prices are correct. Tesco is not intentionally over charging customers. Concerning the over charging policy, this is provided for as a gesture of good-will as way of apology for the inconvenience of being overcharged. Although it is VERY apparent that many "customers" are making a career out of this generous policy by intentionally purchasing high value products they believe will scan incorrectly. It is under these circumstances a refund may be refused by management and the "customer" banned.
Furthermore, it is well known that some criminals will intentionally swap labels around and even attempt to print their own labels to make out they have been overcharged. So if "customers" request refunds under suspicious circumstances then YES refunds should not be given out and these people banned from store.
Tesco-Complaint response in the comments section...:T
seems to me they are cracking onto this, shame though i will still keep on trying to r+r:D:j
Nothing new really...........Couponing....."every little hurts"
Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all the time. .........I think Abraham Lincoln said that.

Doesn't explain why I so rarely get overcharged in Asda yet (twice in maybe 15 years) and maybe 1 in 3 or 4 visits to Tescos I do??? Also, Tescos are aware they are overcharging on certain products (e.g. dvd boxsets) and are still charging folk more than double 3 months later???0 -

Yeah well we know that! It involves copying the misprice information from this forum and distributing to all stores. :rotfl:0 -
I'm so jealous of Tesco I want everything they've got - hang on I've got quite a bit already and for FREE.
I don't particularly want Tesco to stop overcharging instead I would like EVERY customer to check their receipts and EVERY overcharged customer go to cs for a refund. Tescos generous policy relies on the fact that most people either don't notice they have been overcharged or are too emarrassed to go to cs.
Somebody had obviously had a field day recently in a store near me - how could I tell - chart posters removed for ps2 and xbox games, sel missing for starwars lego ps2, label turned around on digilogic tv. Made me smile.0 -
An employee at my local Tesco said the policy is changing in the New Year to prevent R&R abuse.0

I couldnt work out the 'deal' on the beer and couldnt see any wrongly priced meat, but then there was a lot of stuff either not there or in the wrong places (not to mention empty boxes all over the floor and trucks of stock in the way of the shelves).

If that comment posted by leadhead is really from a manager (which I suspect it probably is judging by the tone) it's just more evidence of the incredible arrogance and sanctimonious attitudes running through the company. Good old Tesco, the champion of British business, a good old-fashioned honest retailer versus a load of nasty dishonest customers. I think not.
He just doesn't get it, does he? The only criminal element in the whole affair is Tesco - but he's absolutely blind to that fact.
What a silly, deluded individual.0 -
My local store in Coventry has removed the r&r policy from the big blue board at customer servicesEven if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.0
