    I'm not having a go at anybody but I think it would help other MSE's if people mentioned which Tesco store they actually got the Goody bag from and which stores didn't have them in stock.

    It would also help the assistant in the store as they woudn't get repeated requests for Goody bags that they do not have.

    I got a Stress Free one before christmas, from Strood in Kent. It had a stress ball in it - not the usual spongy sort but one with lavender in it. It works too!

    I went to Tescos Goodmayes (essex) yesterday and I was told they were all gone and would not be getting any more! I told the assistant that I had never been able to get any of their goody bags and she said that the latest ones were being given away to people who got prescriptions and bought stuff from the pharmacy without them asking for it, that's why there were none left!!:mad:

    My friend works for Tesco's and she says they've been told to keep them for customers who could benefit from them such as the elderly or people who don't look to well off or parents with children getting prescriptions. They've not to give them out to anyone who just asks for one especially if not buying anything. It's better that way anyway so people who could do with a little extra get one.

    Sounds reasonable - perhaps the people on this thread getting cross about not getting them should re-read this post?
