Ive heard on good info Tesco are going to charge people on their new chip and pin forecourts who pay just for fuel in the kiosk.

This is bad if its true!

How will you use the 5p off voucher?;)

First they stop cheques, thats fair enough, everywhere has, but effectively penalising users of cash is outrageous, assuming it happens, especially as, so i understand, you cant use debit cards on forecourts.
Another reason to avoid Tesco, especially as they are first to put up petrol and last to drop it. Certainly in Eastbourne anyway.

Tesco 'value' tinned chopped tomato is now the same price as the plum tomato 26p :eek:

Last time I bought any they were 19p and 21p

I am all in agreement with the comments being made about price increases at Tesco. I reckon my weekly bill has gone up at least £2-3.

On the milk issue though they have agreed to pay the farmers more per litre than they have been doing. They have obviously passed this increase directly onto the consumer and also added a big profit margin.

IF the cost of 3.36 litres ( 6 pints ) has gone up by £0.12p - this is the same as an extra 3.57pence per litre on the price we are paying, but the farmers are only getting 0.75 pence per litre extra.
So unless someone can tell me different Tesco have managed to get themselves an extra 2.82 pence per litre extra!

I work in a Tesco PFS so can answer your petrol related questions

How will you use the 5p coupons

In the kiosk, It annoys me when people expect more discount lol (not aimed at you whoever wrote this)

If I remember correctly we stopped personal cheques 6 months after everyone else, Business, Travellers and Bankers cheques are acceptable still

but effectively penalising users of cash is outrageous,

As far as I am aware tesco have not imposed such a charge

assuming it happens, especially as, so i understand, you cant use debit cards on forecourts.

Actually you can, ALL debit cards for the exception of regular cashcards/cashline cards, international debit cards (Ones that don't use the VISA or Maestro systems), chipless cards and old Natwest debit cards due to a software issue on the chip and in the manufacturing process the chip isn't fully embedded*

*=Mostly seen on cards issued with the start dates between 12/07 and 03/08 but not all cards are effected

As Visa Electron and Solo cards require immediate authorisation, it might decline the card due to a link failure to the bank and would be accepted in the kiosk as it uses a different fibre obtic link.

Another reason to avoid Tesco, especially as they are first to put up petrol and last to drop it. Certainly in Eastbourne anyway.

The way tesco work is that each store is responsible for doing the price survey each week then "hosting" the petrol buyer at cheshunt with the prices and then waiting for them to take action

The petrol buyer then hosts the store, which can take a while (when they nationally dropped the price of petrol our store was forgotton about) when they send the host, if the price increases we are required to increase immediately or "Gross profit margins will be affected", whilst a price drop doesnt carry the same warning (for obvious reasons) It isn't the stores problem that some guy called Barry in cheshunt who doesnt know the area takes ages to lower the price, I know for a fact that they don't rush. Customers have a go at us as if I set the price, Staff at branch level cannot do anything and its not their fault.

Notice the price change on Schlr Red Grape Juice - reduced from £1.98 to £1.97.
But then quantity is also reduced - from 1 litre to 750ccs, a 33% increase in price

Walkers crips 3 for £3.50 Now 3 for £4 :eek:

d.edna all supermarkets are putting prices up but it appears tesco are using their no 1 position and taking their customers for granted. I particularly object to the bogof offersa where the price of a single item is pushed through the roof so that you are almost double anyway. Sooner or later the public will catch on and Tesco will lose their lead.
I still shop there but only buy things which are cheaper than elsewhere and as the days go by that is becoming less and less.
