complaint letter to tesco

Tell you what, I don't like being approached by Sales people, Charity collectors, big issue sellers, at Tesco stores; but I appreciate how important the charity work is.

I give to charity in my own private way, as do plenty of other people I am sure, but I've no wish to give to charity at Tesco (unless it is of my own two chosen charities, which it usually is not).

I think the problem here is the OP came on with a high and mighty attitude that he is right and everyone else is totally wrong. OP, change your attitude and you might receive some more useful responses, rather than people laughing at you.

Meanwhile, yes it does matter in which section that your thread is posted. Posting in the correct section will mean that people interested in what you have to say will see it.

does it matter where it was posted? petty rules are for petty people like you. So what do you think about tesco credit cards then?

So you would like Tesco to impose a rule of 'no approach'?

By the way, registered charity volunteers are not allowed to approach anyone or for example shuffle the bucket around. That's why the majority of any charity volunteers you see in any location just stand/sit quietly and wait for people to approach them. So before you try and get a different company impose a 'no approach petty rule for petty people', I would research these matters a little more

....your micro brain must make you the joke of your town. You probably don't experience this problem...you are obviously an aldi shopper

Now you've done it, whats wrong with Aldi?

I can either drive 2 miles to Aldi or 1.5 miles to Lidl, both stores are much brighter and cheaper than my nearest dingy Tesco which is 6 miles away, thank goodness, means I'm not in the least bit tempted to ever go there.
Maybe you should try somewhere other than Mr T's if it upsets you so much . . .

I am not referring to the polite people some of you have encountered....I'm talking about the people who approach you as you walk out of the store (you have no choice but to walk past them) and are persistent to the point of intimidation. This does not reflect well on the store. They should and will address this if enough people feel the same way. I'm not suggesting banning these people from the store - I only suggest a "non approach" rule.

I frequently shop at various Tesco stores (and Sainsbury, and others) where they have charity collectors at the door. I have never felt intimidated, irritated, inconvenienced or threatened by them nor have I felt obliged to hand over any cash.

Perhaps you are right but I believe this is a problem when these people overstep the boundaries of polite intervention. It should not be simply ignored and left for someone else to deal with. Say a collective NO to soliciting by telling the supermarkets et all that it is not acceptable. Ignoring the problem and hoping someone else will deal with it is exactly what the French did with Hitler and the world despises them for it to this day!

I'm not being mean I acknowledged the important work the charities do - it's more the sales people that are the problem

which store have you had the problem in and for that matter, why did you complain without giving Tesco the name of the branch? It was a bit pointless if they can't investigate it properly. Also you needed to say what exactly happened and how the store manager dealt with your complaint. By the way, unless I've missed it, you also haven't told us. Why not redraft the letter and also give us the details?

I use the Self Service Tills instead. Ignore them, or simply say, No Thank You.

Laying a guilt trip on me does not work either.

This is for the ones who stand wanting to help you pack.

The ones at the doors I ignore and walk on, unless I want to give.

I thought the Tesco 'rule' was that a charity or whatever (this week ours had a 'have you written a Will' stand,) could stand in a prominent position but are not to rattle their tin/bucket or try to persuade shoppers to part with cash by actually saying anything to them as they pass.

Any that have been in our Tesco just try to catch your eye & smile looking expectant - & I smile back and walk past.

Sainsbury irritate me, they often have some organisation or other (Saturday it was the mini version of various Forces - army/navy kids, previously it was some kids gym or other,) offering to 'help with your packing' complete with donation pot.

Now THAT p£es me off, can't actually get through the checkout without feeling a bit bad, so off to the big queue at self service!

I was once accosted by a woman saying "help sick children" and shoving her pot in face, when I shook my head and walked past she said "not interested in sick children".........she's lucky she still has her teeth, I was livid.
