Been to three T's today to do a bit of R&R in particular Lego Star Wars & Splinter Cell (XBOX 360) and was even prepared to have a stab at the XBOX 360 bundle R&R!

Strike 1: first store which was the smallest of the three had all its video game chart posters removed and the SEL for Splinter Cell was also removed, Star Wars Lego was no ware to be found and the Hexagonal cardboard Display case with the bundle pack was also absent!

Strike 2: second store and the a little bigger than the last, chart Posters correct and correct SEL on Splinter Cell but again no Lego Star Wars, however they did have the promo display for the bundle packs closer inspection would reveal these had been butchered with various bits of tape and marker pen to hide the offending details (Very Professional) so no luck!

Strike 3: Third and final the Biggy both Splinter Cell & Lego Star Wars correct SEL the chart posters where up and the one with Pro Evo 6 as game of the week had the price crudely scribbled out with biro but the SEL was showing £39.97! this big store was also missing the bundle display unit! however did notice that one of the third party IPOD all in one speaker/base units SEL offer had expired I think it was £49.XX down to £39.XX sorry to be vague but I have a memory like a Tesco employee however should not be to difficult to spot!

A crappy day all but hey did get a nice set of Magic Box phones the other day for free so I suppose I cant complain and of course there's always tomorrow!!!

Smaller tescos usually means smaller selection of phones therefore less chance of an R&R as they might not have the phone in question.

I have been finding recently though that the medium sized tescos are best for R&R (ones that have a petrol station but not classed as an extra) Not sure why but they just seem to be easier to find R&Rs in and in my experience the CS are easier to deal with.

Just looking at club card statement, bit sloppy really, doesn't have a box for R&R'ed points or wombled points.

some of us are now glad to have left peterborough mabey get something elsewere.. but i can assure that tesco extra hampton wont take any nonsense, the security guards will sort them out.. rightly or wrongly abusing staff is not on

just like to point out from a legal point of view - security CANNOT legally touch you at all. They can ask you to leave the store, but they CANNOT physically remove you.
The only way security can touch you is to make a citizens arrest, even then you can press counter charges for assauly, kidnap, etc. they have to wait for the police to do this.
You may shout/rant/argue as much as you like. although it is not courteous/ polite/ the ideal way, sometimes it is necessary to get your point across. Having worked in retail and security i can honestly say that it is generally down to the frontline staff ie the CS. its not their money, its tesco's, its not their f##k up, its tescos.

also, having been in this store as part of my jobs some weeks ago, i can honestly say that a bunch of 5'4" bald old men would not stop me if i put my mind to it. i have seen better security in mcds!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
