Tesco are officially the worst supermarket!

Doesn't surprise me . I hate the place!, it's ironic though that the old White Horse pub near where I live has recently turned into a mini Tesco, but they are not allowed to move the Horses head on the front of the store because it is some sort of protected building :rotfl:

Personally I shop in Lidl and Sainsburys, and am looking to a new Aldi store which is opening soon (right next to the massive Tesco!:))

Are the Tesco staff employed based on their miserableness?

I had to laugh the other day as the Tesco near me was closed the 3rd time this year due to the checkout system failing!

has anyone used their click & collect service?

absolutely terrible.
i have twice and both times i have had to queue for about 10 - 15 mins to get to the desk, and when i do it takes them ages to find my order. the first time, despite having the collection text, they couldnt even find it, so i had to go back yet again!

then, when they do bring the items, they have always looked like they have just been kicked about on the floor for a bit.
this time, i had ordered some bedding, and it wasnt even in any type of cover, so the material bag was dirty and had a hole in in. i pointed this out to the customer service assistant, and was told i had ordered it, so had to take it!

not happy, will not be using them ever again :mad:

That's terrible candyfliss :eek:I would have asked to see the store manager. I've used ASDA. BHS, Homebase, Argos and Marks and Spencer Click & Collect and at times all have queues/can't find things at first. But never had anything looking scruffy let alone damaged.

I don't blame you for not using it again,

I don't like Tesco, but unfortunately it's my nearest supermarket. I do shop there, but I try to get my fruit and veg as well as most meat from the small Sainsburys about a mile down the road.

I used to work in Asda at uni and even their fruit and veg is far better quality than Tesco.

I do tend to buy more branded products from Tesco than own brand. I also like the reduced section. The only good thing about Tesco is their clubcard scheme, it's a very good marketing tool for them.

Reading The Grocer online this week, ASDA plans to open more stores in London and SE which should give Tesco more competition down here.

ASDA veg is fantastic I agree. I don't find much fresh organic stuff but when I do, not only is it the cheapest for much of it, the quality is up there with Waitrose - I particularly like ASDA organic mushrooms. The fish counter is great, too ie 2 organic salmon fillets for £4

Good to see people are taking notice of Tesco's poor customer offering and staying away......what are the Senior Management up to?:rotfl:

And now they over declared profit....are they trying to kill their business..?

I went in to a Tesco recently Sat.afternoon and there were 5 people in it...poor promotions,uncompetitive prices and unattractive displays.
We go elsewhere now.

Please don't shoot me down but the staff at the newly opened store (approx 18 mths) near me are absolutely lovely and will do anything for you (even though I only ever buy the reduced/special offer goods lol). I do understand what you mean as they are absolutly miserable at the store I used to go to though.....infact it used to be a standing joke that you have to be miserable with no common sense to work there:rotfl:

I live in a market town where we have a Tesco and Morrisons plus mini M and S. I would love to shop at Sainsburys or Asda but they are too far away for a regular shop. A branch of Aldi is opening soon about 5 miles away, so it will get our custom along with that of half the local population.

For special occasions it is Waitrose who are unrivalled for high quality fresh stuff.

:rotfl:Tesco has reported a 6% fall in group trading annual profit to £3.3bn as it continues to lose market share to discount rivals.

It is the second year in a row in which the supermarket has announced falling profits.

Tesco said like-for-like sales, which strip out the effect of new store openings, also fell by 1.4%.

When....will they listen to the consumer and stop their shady marketing and pricing tactics.

Tesco - just offer good value and you'll return to your predominant position of a few years ago!
