''A 37-year-old shopper from Kingswells, said: "People had to leg it to get out of the way. All the security guards were bothered about was stopping people taking pictures. The security guards were pulling their mobiles from people.''

    Why don't you just go chain yourself to tesco as an act of protest [STRIKE]or find some other shop to complain about[/STRIKE] :)
    Work like you don't need money,
    Love like you've never been hurt,
    And dance like no one's watching
    Save the cheerleader, save the world!

    Customers did not have the security guards phones. It is my understanding that many customers were snapping pics with their own mobile phones, however security were not happy with this - therefore grabbing them from unhappy shoppers!!!

    "Customer safety is of the utmost importance and security staff told them not to take pictures because they were keen to remove them for their own wellbeing."

    Does make sense!

    It does not say anyone took away their mobile phones, otherwise the article would have bound to have made a fuss about that. What pulling them exactly means is unclear, more than likely an exaggeration by some drama queen present.

    Is this some monthly event you do Business Student? I'm sure it was about this time last month you had one of your hate Tescos campaigns.

    I knew what the sentence meant, ta. With shoddy grammar like that though, I'm not going to believe anything else that the journalist writes.

    Keep up the good work. I feel safer at night knowing that there are good people out there carrying out a tireless campaign against the Great Satan that is Tescos.
