    If you haven't read anything how do you know what the comments are like?

    Didn't say I haven't read anything, I said I hadn't read all of it. I could see it was going the same way as most of the big threads.

    So a business, you know, these things people start up to make money. They shouldn't make their prices the optimum to make the most profit?

    Zandoni I'd love to know what you do? Because if you were put in charge of anything that had to make money it would go bust within 12 months.

    A business certainly does need to make money, it also needs to make money long term. You don't do this if you upset your customers, a lot of these customers are families with children. If you know anything about children you will know they get very upset if their parents can't afford to buy them presents.

    Boy and Girls quite rightly like to be treated fairly, they will get very upset if one them notices that they have to pay a great deal more for a product.

    As for what I do for a living you will have to guess, but I can tell you I'm not a public hating shop assistant like many people here.

    Every thread I have read this morning involves someone claiming discrimination when it clearly isn't!

    Perhaps problems in our day to day lives would be much more easily sorted out if parties did not go down these lines but instead try a rational grown up approach.

    As for tesco, well I don't like the store, but in this case what they have done is not discriminatory and is not unfair. They can charge what they like.

    Get real Boys and Girls don't give a fig what things cost, they want instant gratification. Hopefully one of the things they learn as they get older is a sense of proportion.

    I don't think you'll find many people here are public hating shop assistants, they probably like me though do dislike people playing victim and people who want compensation when they're only motive is greed.

    Wow, creepy post
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.
