Oh I dunno... I always enjoyed myself.

I was hoping Vince would post a photo of a table full of posh wines.

For goodness sake, some on here need to get a life and get real:o They made an error, get over it. If you managed to 'get away with it', well done. If not, tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a bit rich coming from someone who couldn't be ar***d to read pages 2 through 8.
I was too busy working to go to Tescos today, but good luck to anyone who managed to have a set to with their CS staff. There's nothing more fun than having a one sided argument (they ranting, you calm and collected) with them - they think that it is entertaining (well their management seem to anyway) but it's actually more fun for us than them.
In my local Tesco I am constantly having to go to CS and point out incorrect SELs, misprices etc. and since R&R was introduced they have NEVER given me double the difference back. Often the money involved is only pence, so I rarely bother to argue the toss - mostly because I'm still about £175 ahead thanks to the free PSP I got for my son's Xmas a couple of years ago!

p.s. I also didn't bother with this offer just to get one bottle of wine - I still have a shedload left over from Xmas when they had the Freixenet Cava at £3 a bottle, with 5% off for 6. Yum yum - gonna last me for ages. :beer:
p.p.s. On a point of clarification Champagne IS wine, and you'd have very little trouble arguing that point with your local Trading Standards.

Apparently no one from Tesco has commented today, some of us do actually have to go there to work! It has come to my attention that a few things need to be cleared up...Something was said about the point I made about the fresh juices and the 11p a customer was moaning about...Yes I get the whole credit crunch and all that but what had happened is where the juices were on 3 for £4 the maximum saving was 11p, where the offer hadn't kicked in they were overcharged...Which then brings me to my next point, I personally think that is crazy to queue up on a busy Saturday afternoon over a maximum of 11p but each to their own, obviously they wouldn't of been the only ones to be overcharged on that deal and it was quickly sorted, but the point is the way they went about it. If they had said look I've been overcharged by 11p because the juice promotion isn't working then fine, but this customer and I've seen others do it as well seem to think its the end of the world!

As for the comments made about staff salaries, professionalism etc, what I will point out is that most managers are on 12 hour days five or six days a week and I think some of the people posting on here don't realise how hard it is to keep on top of your department, keep your staff in order, the daily processes we have to do in order, actual stock ordering (which by the way yes some is done automatically but if we have 20 cases of something going though on promotion one week, we're not going to want another 20 cases the following week when the promotion isn't on, lines need to be and are looked at in detail, just like you cannot say we want 5 cases of this in next week as we sold that many this week, whose to say 4 of those cases didn't go at 10p each in the reductions) amongst many other tasks. So when it gets to that point of the day when someone is trying to demand what they think they are owed at CSD it can actually be laughable!

To think that someone read what I had posted and then was encouraged to go and get the deal themselves is also laughable! The point I made about genuine customers was from my perspective and the way that I see it, its not a reflection of all Tesco staff nationwide like some people seem to have thought i.e. 'its people like you that cause these problems' actually no its not and I laughed at that comment as well. If a customer is in the right then I am the first one to admit Tesco's mistake, however the customers that are going to try and get away with getting one of these meal deals for every night of the week and then throw in 7 bottles of £15 wine and then go marching (and they do) straight to CSD clutching their receipt and quoting sections and acts of the law of what they are entitled to then no I wouldn't say that this customer is genuine at all actually! Its got nothing to do with what people look like, a lot of my friends are from all walks of life and different backgrounds, as are the staff at Tesco and we all get along fine, I'm not a prejudice person and don't chose my friends based on how much money they have so no it doesn't make a difference if the person is dressed up in a nice suit or dressed is treating it like dress down Friday...In actual fact people that do work there have to go through an interview first and one of the first questions on there is about dealing with people from all walks of life...Most stores are actually very picky with who they employ and judging by the amount of application forms we get on a daily basis we can afford to be fussy! At the end of the day this deal wasn't a glitch, had it of been I would of said go for it everyone, but it was a printing error...Not only that the shelves actually have, or should have, green, purple, red and I think the other one was blue stripping saying 'Wine' with the wines on the shelves, they are the ones that correspond with the colours on the POS to cause less confusion! Now then, anyone else going to make me laugh on this thread?

What a disgusting callous attitude towards your fellow MSers... :mad:

Towards SOME fellow MSers only. Those silly enough to be so upset at Tesco making an error:rolleyes:


Perhaps they have nothing else in life to worry about?

Good morning, Victor. I bet people give you a wide berth at parties. Going into Tesco today to get your few pence refund on a mistake?
Still, whatever keeps you happy/miserable.

Just because they're taking advantge of deals, it does not mean they're not genuine customers....are they putting money in your tills? Yes? Then they're a genuine customer.

As for the printing error, WOW, so the printer managed to magically make the word ANY appear....technology these days.:rotfl: :rolleyes:
