    They stayed to buy goods after that incident?

    No wonder Tesco treats people like crap if mugs are stupuid enough to cough up their hard earned after being harranged like that

    Whilst I might not agree with the Tesco policy, I do think the writer comes across as a bit of a kn*b ... Typical consumer journalist really!

    I've started taking a list of things I need when I go shopping & tick each item off when I get them,can't see a supermarket giving me grief over it,or the many shoppers who do the same thing just because we have a pen & paper in hand...

    I would assume this is why Tesco no longer have those lil clipboard things they used to have on their trollies - a phone call to the local constabulary to remind them of the actual law should suffice.
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.

    I wonder around tescos every week with my shopping list and a pen. Never had any problems. The journalist does sound like a muppet though he probably made some huge deal of it.

    it's their shop people have no god given rights to go in and go whatever they wish, they can refuse admittance or ask you to leave if they like
    Come on, it's not rocket surgery is it?
