When R&Ring a handful of books at CS recently, the lady told me that the books were stocked/priced by a subsidiary company of Tesco. This separate company (although wholly owned by Mr T) were classified as a book wholesaler/publisher. This meant they were able to buy the books cheaply from other book publishers, and therefore undercut the local-type bookshops.

So the books are looked after by not-exactly-Tesco-but-almost.

Not sure who told her that, but she was talking rubbish!

Books, CDs, Games, DVDs are supplied by Entertainment UK (or EUK). Who are a wholly owned subsidy of Woolworths Group PLC.

I got told the same sort of thing when R&Ring a DS game, I think the company is called Ecom or something like that, the CS woman said "they are always making mistakes like this" which I think may have been a bit of a porky as I've only ever noticed the one R&R in that store (plenty elsewhere though)


So who was responsible for the Console fiasco then? Are consoles also taken care of by outside suppliers? If so are they also the ones who supply the GOTW posters?

Had a wierd day today, went and got some lamb should have had £1 off per kilo, manager came back with another sign that was not discounted and even when I showed him the one that was he insisted they were two different items(bar codes were actually different on all 4 identical packs - although very similar). Eventually I agreed to buy the cheaper meat as I did not want the £3.69 a kilo ones so had to settle for the difference in pack prices back (did not want to cause too much fuss for £8).

Later took my mum to her local Tescos and finally found some burgers with sel at 1.49 and pack price 1.59, waited for cs who came back unable to find label but happy to give me 30p overcharge back, can't see she removed sel as same lady gave my mum £17 of meat overcharged back, but somebody certainly did, first time I had been in that Tesco too! Very odd.

They are watching us:shhh:

Consoles are supplied by Euk. The GOTW posters were supplied by a mentally challenged chimp.

My understanding is that Tescos have quite a few of them on the payroll! (present company excluded obviously )

Its a big payroll. Bound to be a few simians in there somewhere. Who else do you staff your marketing department with?

I'm sure your chimp isnt mentally challenged and I was not talking about CS staff. I save my insults for the ones who deserve it
