    NOOOO!!!

    Posting complaints about anyone other than Tesco is strictly unreasonable!

    Spar's problems were strictly blameless mistakes - Tesco not having a lettuce is of course a reason to compain!

    And I doubt the thing about them shutting early, my GF would be rollocked by the highest of management if she shut her shop early!
  • So what if they don't have adequate chocolate on a Sunday? Have an apple instead.

    No, that would be too sensible. In any event, its the OP's RIGHT to purchase what he likes.

    This sort of thing always reminds me of a scene in the Life of Brian.
    FRANCIS:
    Why are you always on about women, Stan?
    STAN:
    I want to be one.
    REG:
    What?
    STAN:
    I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
    REG:
    What?!
    LORETTA:
    It's my right as a man.

    JUDITH:
    Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
    LORETTA:
    I want to have babies.
    REG:
    You want to have babies?!
    LORETTA:
    It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
    REG:
    But... you can't have babies.
    LORETTA:
    Don't you oppress me.

    I dont understand why empty shelves in a supermarket gives anyone a right to complain.
    I used to shop at Kwik Save (dont laugh) but there was never anything on the shelves so I voted with my feet and now shop at (gasp) Tesco.
    If Tesco go down hill then I will shop somewhere else BUT at the moment my local Tesco is always fully stocked and has a large choice.

    i'd say it gives people a right to complain. All this fuss about tesco's taking over from local shops, forcing them out of business because people prefer supermarkets, and then not keeping them stocked meaning that you have to travel miles to get anything. My local tescos always has empty shelves, which is a joke as its the same things every week.

    If you bought the coke and the chocolate bar from where you work you would no doubt get staff discount and then you wouldnt have to go to tescos.

    Shops run out all the time our local co-op always does its life
