Hi all, I've been a member for a while but usually lurk.
I bought some free-from fruit cake for my daughter and didn't realise until I was cutting it that it was OOD. I went back to Tesco and returned it, got a "sorry" and a refund but that was it.

Should I expect more from them? I did have to travel back to the store and my daughter was disappointed

Hi MadelinesMum , can you remember if the date was best before or use by ?

We've had mixed results in returning goods , sometimes we get a sorry and on others we get a sorry here have this for the inconvienience .

Afternoon all, I've resorted to lurking due to suffering with flu, which is much worse for us ladies (I am female no matter what some of you think )

I've not done my usual clicking thanks for every post for probably about 30 or 40 pages so have a general thanks and well wishes to all from me:D

I've dipped in and out and am trying to keep up with everyones news. I managed some of the ssm before diving for the duvet so all is not too bad :T

Hopefully normal service should return soon

Hi, I think it was a best before. I even went back to the shelf and brought back the other 6 cakes that were also OOD.

Back-To-Front, with a backward-facing head.
Claude, who fell out of a box of dolls to be shipped to France; he speaks with a French accent.
Dotty, who had paint spilt on her hair and clothing.
Hi-Fi, "wired up wrong", with a "crackle" to his voice (actually sounds more like a stammer).
Lucy, with poorly-attached limbs.
Princess, whose manufacturer ran out of material and used odds and ends to finish her off; her voice is characterised by H-adding.
Sad Sack, a sample of a design that was deemed too expensive to mass-produce; his appearance is somewhat different from that of the others.
RaggyMuffin, introduced in later series, a wandering traveller doll who'd lost his owner and decided to spend his life taking in new sights and experiences.

Hi quizzers and glitchers,

Been reading this T's employee tale during my "lunch hour" (ha-ha) and have to say that while I think it's great that everyone is trying to be helpful, people's 'opinions' are of no use and, as one can see, only result in conflicting advice being given, resulting in confusion.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh; I know people are trying to help.

There is a legal framework laid down to deal with employee disciplinary matters which T's have to follow.

The only advice given in this thread that is worth anything re. this matter is fourp's comment here:

the procedure ...

The other thing that matters is the ACAS Code of Practice, which Tesco has to adhere to. I would advise that the OP read both. hth

this really makes me:mad:
they have staff to ensure no OOD stock is on the shelf
then when you have to go to all the trouble of returning the item all you get is sorry:(
when this happened to me - I found more on the shelf even though I didn't return the item the same day _pale_ (really need a sickey icon)

All I got was sorry & when pushed a £5 voucher.
escalated to HO tho & was sent £20

On the back of most packets, should you not be satisfied with this product sent the wrapper with contents to...

Yeah, I knackered ankle number 1 jumping off a kiddies roundabout when it was going at great speed. Ankle number 2 was knackered when I fell 6ft out of a tractor, my foot twisted itself up round so much I could see the entire sole of my boot clear as anything. I had an ankle the size of a football for a fortnight afterwards.

My knee got done when the school bully karate kicked me in the side of the knee and I fractured my pelvis by crashing in to a cow on my bike when I was 12. I found lying unconscious in the side of the road with a pool of blood coming from a huge gash in my head. I spent a month flat on my back in hospital and missed two months of school.:beer:

some people will do anything to skip school :rotfl:

Had an odd encounter with SA in Ch**er store today. I was coming to the self serve with 4 temptations boxes and had them taken off me before I even got there as ' there is a computer error' Not unusual as it's happened to others but this is the same SA that let me through yesterday with 3 boxes and was so nice, saying 'if they scan at 1p you can have them at 1p'. I even went and got her 2 when she asked where I got them from and told her where the others were so she could get more in her lunch break!
The veg crisps are scanning at 49p now.

Happy Birthday! My little boys 1 today!! We celebrated by taking him to the docs for his first lot of MMR injections . Think he's just about forgiven me!

And Happy Birthday to your LO littleladybug, a first birthday is so much fun, can remember all my DDs first ones and they are 21, 18 and 14.

Are you doing a traditional tea party? Remember well the chocolate covered faces from chocolate fingers, squeezed and squashed sandwiches until they resembled a dough ball and sucked prawn cocktail shells. Or was that only mine that did that. :rotfl:

Oh forgot to say Afternoon everyone.
