Praise for Tesco - Yes really! :-o

Can't believe I am typing this, but I am actually praising Tesco :eek:
I was in there today buying a few bits for my Kids and went to pay on the self scan, when a lady who worked there came over with a Wenlock and Pride the Lion cuddly toy and asked my 2 Kids if they would like them for free! :)

Of course my Kids said yes and they were really really pleased with them (especially as they has been pestering for Olympic things all summer long!) and couldn't believe their luck.

These were the medium sized cuddly toys which were approx £15 when full price this year.

Thank you Tesco! it makes a nice refreshing change to come across friendly staff :)

    Tesco has probably written the entire remaining stock off and has told the staff to give to customers as a goodwill gesture.

    I wouldn't be suprised if any remaining Olympics stuff will soon be heavily reduced, can't see there being much demand for London 2012 badges now.
