POSSIBLE tesco bargain - any bottle of wine for 9pounds?

pinkcandyflossprincess

i think only one person on here has managed to get a pricier bottle free so i doubt they are gonna go bankrupt just yet:rolleyes:
personally im too lazy to get two buses to try it out, face the inevitable squabble with irate till assistant.... and i dont drink wine anyway!
good luck to those that do manage to grab a bargain though

this whole thread made me laugh :rotfl: just go to your local tesco and give it a try,who cares what the "tesco manager" on here says?? if the sign says "any" then that means "any"...if they change it,it still seems like an good deal,and if you dont ask you dont get right

Have to say I totally agree with CG19a on this one, what people fail to understand is that stores rely on promotions to come in on budget, if we fail to do this then we don't get the good results that Tesco want. Yes it is down to Stock Control to order in the promotional stock but its not as simple as saying ok this product is £1 this week, we want 50 cases of it, we only order in what we think we will sell and that is based on the sales history of the product. When lines are on promotion, the normal amount will come in and then additional stock is ordered.

Stock levels work both ways, too much of the stock and we have to reduce it so it gets sold, or worse if this is missed then it goes through as waste, the other side of the coin is that not enough stock is ordered in, its recorded as a 'gap' and we get lost sales i.e. if we had of had the stock we would of sold it...Most lines cannot be judged, like for example the new Pizzas we have on promotion for a £1 at the moment, they are a new line we cannot judge how well we think the product is going to sell until we have sales figures for it, most fresh food has a limited shelf life and we do not know what the date of the stock is going to be before it comes in.

Tesco actually pay more attention to promotions than normal lines due to the fact that that is where the sales are going to come in, its what people are going to go out of there way to come into Tesco and buy so why would we intentionally have less of it? A lot of pressure is enforced on staff and managers to ensure that the promotional areas look good, pulled forward and are full up...Have you ever considered the fact that many Tesco stores are actually 24 hours and sadly enough people are greedy with the promotions...Watch as the Don Simon orange juice comes back this week, six in a case and people will clear the shelves of it!

I think its actually quite sad that so many people see it as a challenge to rip off Tesco and its always the people that are the 1st to moan when they've been short changed of a maximum 11p when the Fresh Juices were not going through as 3 for £4 as advertised! Its common sense that you cannot expect to get a Tesco Finest three course meal and ANY bottle of wine for £9, ok so the label says different and I am on the same wavelength as CG19a with the genuine customer attitude, a lot of people on here seem to have read up on their 'rights' and think that Tesco owe them everything...Believe it or not every Tesco has their 'regulars' and staff aren't as stupid as you may think, yes we see thousands of people everyday but believe me people that may as well have a timeshare in the Customer Service queue do stand out!

I say well done to CG19a for speaking up, I don't see how they are in the wrong to say it could provide some entertainment, after all some of you have seen this as an opportunity as a day out arguing at Tesco and refusing to leave without your £15 bottle of wine you seem to think you are entitled to, I don't see how that wouldn't be funny? All I can say about this is I'm sure causing a scene over a bottle of wine won't get yourself known! If it was a problem with the tills allowing any bottle of wine to go through with this meal deal then I could understand but that's not the case, in actual fact it can be seen as an attempt to defraud! It actually makes me laugh to read people saying they are ready for an argument with the staff and then have the general consensus to be Tesco and their managers treat their staff like c**p, I have three words for people like that...Pot, Kettle, Black?

Tsk Tsk those pesky customers again!

I think its actually quite sad that so many people see it as a challenge to rip off a bit rich considering Tesco havc just ripped them off!Tesco and its always the people that are the 1st to moan when they've been short changed of a maximum 11p personally I prefer not to set any maximum level, the higher the better really. when the Fresh Juices were not going through as 3 for £4 as advertised! Its common sense that you cannot expect to get a Tesco Finest three course meal and ANY bottle of wine for £9, not so common at Tesco it would seem, how many checks do the pos get before hitting the shelf? No that one wasn't answered was it, it's not one is it? .ok so the label says different and I am on the same wavelength as CG19a with the genuine customer attitude, you don't say! a lot of people on here seem to have read up on their 'rights' and think that Tesco owe them everything...Believe it or not every Tesco has their 'regulars' and staff aren't as stupid as you may think, yes we see thousands of people everyday but believe me people that may as well have a timeshare in the Customer Service queue do stand out!

It's not surprising people have so much trouble at cs desks with this kind of attitude is it.

You know what, that post from Boots With The Fur has made my mind up...It is worth the effort of making a trip to Tesco today....and if it doesn't go through on the till, I'll go for my DTD. I actually have never done this before; I only went to CS once,to get a refund on some sausages they sold me 2 days over their sell by date; I did not bother to check the date when I bought them as they were not yellow stickered I assumed they'd have a few days on them. Anyway...I have some Tesco MOCs which don't work, such as the one which was meant to give me 40p off a Quorn product and didn't, so I think it's time to turn the tables. One nice bottle of wine won't break the bank for them but it'll keep me happy.

Bottom line (for me at any rate) is that I'm hardly relying on this sort of promo to feed my kids (I could make a far better 3 courses from fresh for £9) so while I may give this deal a go, it's just a game, really, with the odd extra bonus at the end as prize. Yes sure, take the expensive stuff up and if refused you've got every right to decide not to go through with the purchase and nothing lost.

ie Chill out, folks, and don't take this so seriously. Tesco Finest ready Meals are foul anyway and there's more nutritious ways to spend £9.
