Have you failed to get a better one, bluey?

I did work for 5 happy years in a Tesco store some 20 years ago. Happily I now have a job that pays so much better and I don't have to put up with scavenging tramps looking for something for nothing or something reduced to 10p.
Now, ampersand when you've read this if you would be kind enough to get that mop of yours moving again. Them lavvys won't clean themselves.

To whom do you refer?
You'd better take care in your use of language.

I was generalising (perhaps) about the pressure Tesco employees are put under in their day to day job. You, on the other hand, were personal in your abuse of me. So, watch yer own language, people in glass houses and all that.
Actually, post all the abuse you want. I really couldn't give a stuff. It's quite funny.

how come reporting isnt as easy as it should be

Do you need to copy and paste the post into the email or is the link in the subject heading of the email?

The new policy seems very fair in so much that if Tesco overcharge you they will give you back double the amount.
This seems very fair and won't be open to abuse, although there are those that will strive to anyway.

What is the general feeling about the implementation of this policy?
This is a legitimate question with no need for flaming.

And, on the subject of "A Little Stressed". The last post I saw her make was one saying we were all horrid and made her cry and she was never coming back. She also was saying that she was practically on the poverty line and that she was scraping to buy food and *sniff* "a toy for her baby".
She also posted this priceless nugget:
"I also think RandR'n should be saved for thing you actually want rather than to make a profit selling things on etc. I got these games out of greed rather than need and feel guilty for doing so."

So, all of a sudden Mrs. I'mskintandhaveaconscience has become a female version of Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney and can't lash out nearly 4K if it nets her a profit.
Hmmmm... and to think my integrity has been questioned here. The last bit will probably get me a major flaming.

I have a credit card I use for r+r just incase somthing like a £3700 TV turns up, buy it and get it refunded using the CC it costs nothing and I dont need to have the money to buy it.

And I feel you should stop taring all r+rers with the same brush, we are not "scavenging trams" or theives as some people call us, we make use of a policy tesco have they didnt need to have that policy and their constant changeing of prices so they can claim to be cheap created so much work for the price integrity departments who I belive are 5 people in the stockport extra which is one of the biggest stores in the country, I don't know if the size of store influences the number in price integrity or not but I doubt that a small express will have 5 of them.

I feel that tesco are very much responsible for everything, we just saw their weakness, how many people got the kodak cameras a few years ago when a site put the wrong price up? Everyone likes a bargain, you should have seen the number of new people that came in to the tesco threads when the word got arround that we were picking up xbox 360's and other consoles, paying and then getting refunded and keeping them. flies round !!!! was a perfect way of describeing it but loads of people got a bargain so it was a result.

Ok LJ, firstly I didn't call anyone a "scavenging tram" or a "theive". Secondly I wasn't referring to everyone, just the greedy ones (and the oinkers know who they are) who abused the policy, leading to it's demise.

The other question I've been meaning to ask, and I'd seriously like some answers here. Why have Tesco become such a figure of hate in all of this?
They came up with a policy which was like manna from heaven for so many people and yet those same people have an absolute boiling hatred of the company. They continued with the policy, although they didn't have to, when the same people used and abused the policy for every single penny they could get. Now they are ending the policy it's like they are taking a knife to the throat of these people's first born children. WHY?

Why do the other big supermarkets escape the wrath of the baying R&R mob when they offer nothing near as generous recompense for prcing errors? I'm sure that Sainsbury, Morrison, Asda, Waitrose etc.... all make mistakes. Why do Tesco take all the flak despite efforts to keep genuine customers happy?

Absolutely.

It sounds like Tesco's R&R has been feeding and clothing some of these people for years. I'm so glad Tesco's has withdrawn this policy. I've watched this thread for ages and never made an entry - but after reading the above post I felt the point is so well made I totally agree.

You are an absouletly disgusting person!

How do Tesco know at the CS desk who is a genuine customer and who isn't, I have been served by CS staff for the first time with one item that I have been overcharged on and they did not follow company policy. They do not just try to wriggle out of r&r with people who have r&r'ed before many, many CS do it with anyone - how does this keep genuine customers happy?

You seem to think you are better in some way than the posters on this thread, judging by insulting and abusive posts I would put you way down the ladder.

I apologise in advance to r&r'ers for replying to the post and will get on with the business that this thread was intended for, sharing misprice techniques and information with like minded people.
