Theft for Tesco
Just imagine, you walked out of their store with their goods for nothing? Do you think they would remain quiet? then why should a multi million pound commercial organisation employ people for nothing! http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/article/extras-for-tv-ad-1061848.aspx Tesco does not give its goods away!

Warning: Tesco shelf labelling on alcoholic drinks
I was in a branch of Tesco today, and decided to try a low-alcohol beer. There was a shelf clearly marked as "Low Alcohol", with a range of drinks on them. One of them was Bud Light. Curious as to the actual ABV, I read the label and it read, 3.8%. On further inspection, all but one of the drinks on the shelf had an ABV of…

So tired of ordering steaks rare and getting them well done.
I always order rare steaks in restaurants. In spite of this, at least half the time they come well done, at least in the UK. I hate to complain because I know the restaurant will have to find another steak and be unhappy about that and then I have to wait again for my meal. I'm thinking that the answer might be to print…

Payphone with credit card
Anyone used a card in a payphone? Made a call yesterday... Twice the other person was on the phone so got through to voicemail and disconnected without leaving a message. 3rd time had a 2 minute conversation. I was charged £6.56 each time. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems excessive for what should be 60p per minute.

Tesco Opticians
Book a Tesco opticians appointment for 4:20pm. Arrange to leave work early, arrive at 4:10 to be told they are running at least half an hour late. Which is no good as this will leave it too late to get to the nursery. Had they phoned me earlier to let me know I'd probably be irritated, but at least I'd not have needlessly…

Nespresso spend millions of pounds promoting their brand (their name is on the America's Cup yachts) so they are seen as a premium product. So why do they use Yodel?
