No, I dont work on CS.....too many people moaning about the price of meat!

I just saw chris' signature and seeing as he is always trying to have a dig I thought i would dish some back....all in the name of humour mind.

All i can say is

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU F**K A CS IN THE R&Rs!:rotfl:

Sorry, couldnt resist.

Went to plenty of other stores this weekend on my tour of duty so got plenty of other things including 4 of the Champagne & choc sets (Champers went down well at the family meal last night!) chickens and lamb joints. So wasnt totally f**cked in the R&Rs.

Whats your thoughts on that sign though Spa?

I cant remember the exact wording, but it said something like "we operate a bulk buy policy of 1 item in this store" no mention of refunds or anything.

Totally amazed at the "service" in Copdock Tescos at Ipswich this afternoon!

Noticed some lamb steaks that were overpriced by a pound a kilo, picked up 4 packs and a few other bits like bread etc. let the OH go to CS for the R&R this time, she called me over when the CS "lady" refused the R&R having pointed out their addidtion to the policy (on an A4 sheet) stating that they operate a bulk buy policy that limits customers to one item!!

Now hang on, 1 item??? So 2 is bulk buying???

This sign also made NO mention of refunds/R&R whatsoever, just that you couldnt buy any more than one of each item!

I did ask why they have offers on bulk buys (like the 5% on wine) when that sign says you arent allowed to buy any more than 1. Also asked why its not enforced at the checkout, she then said its not a bulk buy policy in that sense, just when it comes to refunds, she said she would refund us on one but not the others.

OH said she just refund the whole lot, CS woman then said "why? did you buy four packs thinking you were going to get them free?" OH replied "No, I expected them to be the right price" then CS come out with "Why are you asking for a refund on them? you obviously didnt want them if you arent prepared to pay for them"

We pointed out that the reason we didnt want to buy them was that we would be being overcharged on them. Got the refund on all four packs, OH asked for the CS lady to sign the receipt so we have her name for a reference when we take it up with head office and she blankly refused, she wasnt wearing a name badge either.

Obviously when OH rings head office she cant say "The woman on CS desk that looked like a witch with blonde hair"

She was really rude, she obviously knew the game but the sign and her attitude really had us seething when we walked out of there!

The lady on today when i was in copdock was the one i refered to as THE WITCH in an earlier post....I got some r&r's....books for me and my sis got some chocolate orange 2 for £3 .... guess we should just try to annoy her some more,,,,well done!

Independant thought is not to be encouraged, best just to go along with the uninformed masses like a sheep!:D

I honestly dont think I'm being out of order saying she looked like a witch either.

Observant yes, out of order no.

It would certainly make the fancy dress cheaper, all she would need is a black wig, hat and a broomstick. All conveniently on display just round the corner! :rotfl:

Not a local store to me unfortunately, would love to go back in there and just buy a whole trolley ful of single items for R&R.

How can there be a bulk buy policy of one item when all stores offer Buy one get one free offers....this is a minimum purchase of two!

the_postman_2

Just a quickie to the two tesco people on here, spa + constantine

Q Do you think its fair to overcharge thousands of people per day on an any number of items, then when a few "smart !!!!!!" (eg us) realise tesco's game and level the playing field (using tescos own r+r policy) to get items for free?

Im disgusted and would hate to think how much my mum / dad etc have been overcharged in the past.

Im making it my personal goal to get as much as i can from tesco's just like they do from your average granny on a rainy afternoon in Margate.
