What on earth are Tesco playing at?

Just got back from my local Tesco. I had to loudly insist on being assaulted by their security guard. It wasn't until I produced my Tesco Finest Credit Card that I got a Finest standard of kicking.

Today me and my wife went shopping in Tesco. We parked the car in a normal space and proceeded into the store.
We were not accosted by a security guard and were not thrown to the ground on the way in! On the way round the store the staff were courteous and helpful and at no point were we accused of shoplifting.
The shelf edge labels were easy to read and we snaffled a few bargains, including a nice half price Bordeaux. A nice surprise were the "taste and try before you buy" offerings on the deli counter being a small selection of cheeses with mini Melba toasts.
When we paid for the shopping, using some clubcard vouchers, we even had an itemised bill at no extra cost.
On the way out I couldn't find the battery recycling bin and the lady in customer services offered to recycle the batteries for me.

I somehow feel cheated!

As a sometime Security Guard at Tesco i have to say i hate people like you.

Drop some litter on the floor and give me a chance to use my martial art skills on you.

Can sometime enlighten me on the magnet in the pocket thing? I must have missed that one.

A troll a few days ago saying his wife stole a game from Tesco without his knowledge and he was innocent but he was blamed too because he happens to carry around a strong speaker magnet in his pocket. He never did say how his wife opened the safer the game was in, if she didn't use his strong magnet she must have had her own.

Of course he's got a disability and they had two young children with them (one is autistic) who saw the whole thing when they were assaulted by a large group of staff and refused medical treatment.

Usual everyday experience really.

I also had a terrible experience in Tesco recently, I did my shop as usual but when I got home I found that a jar of curry paste was out of date by a few months.

I hadn't planned on taking it back for the sake of £1.50 but on an unplanned visit to the same store the next day I checked and there were 8 more jars still on the shelf that went out of date when mine had.

I was disgusted to find a very helpful member of staff in the next aisle, she actually apologised to me that I had an out of date item and personally removed the other out of date ones from the shelf. Imagine my disappointment when she went on to give me her name and told me to take my one back the next day and ask for her personally so she could get me a fresh jar and refund me the old one.

I was horrified a week later to receive a £5 voucher through the post and another apology. We can't keep letting Tesco get away with this treatment of their customers
