hit them hard as you can with this one.

they cant not listen to a shareholder however small. Tell them that unless you receive satisfaction on this disgraceful ban, you will ensure that you are in attendance and extremely vocal at the next shareholders meeting.

make sure you have the names of everyone you speak to, record telephone calls if you can and distribute your unhappiness as widely within TESCO as possible.

Bet they change their minds and come grovelling back with a statement about "misunderstanding", "accounting discrepancy/account confusion".

Tell the local press, radio and tv. Tell Watchdog on BBC. Report them to the office of fair trading.

Tell the p.r. departments of all their competitors.

Demand satisfaction and compensation for the inconvenience.

its great fun even if you dont go back to TESCO.

Anyone else you can think of?

I don't know if it's just me who feels I have a slightly more normal life by going down the pub instead?

Shall I spend an evening complaining or the pub? hmm?

Nothing new I'm afraid. Last year dozens of MSEers were banned from various Tesco stores as they didn't like us using their now defunct R+R policy on overcharging (full refund + keep the product).

Note how when people abuse an offer, it then gets withdrawn.

Were these people deliberatly buying mispriced items just to get them for nothing by any chance?

See freeloaders...

Yet you spend so much time on these threads, criticising the people who criticise Tesco. That rather contradicts the point you are making...

It'll take me 10 seconds to type this, It would take an entire evening to do what was suggested in the post I commented on. Common Phil, your scraping the barrel now.

No, I think I have a valid point and I stand by it. You've made 594 posts consisting mainly of ridicule, baiting, sarcasm and derision towards everyone who complains about companies, and not one single post offering constructive advice (none that I could see anyway, but I apologise if I missed one).

I can't see anything purposeful in spending your time that way, unless you include the obvious feeling of satisfaction you achieve. Why do you bother? Why not take your own advice and "go down the pub instead"?

But you attack someone who suggests perfectly reasonable methods of complaining about Tesco (on the Consumer Vent section of a Consumer website) as not having a "normal life". People on consumer revenge websites do tend to talk about complaining about companies, just as people on gardening websites talking about gardening and people on motoring websites talk about motoring.

What is the point in signing up to a website if you hate the subject matter and the people who talk about it?

Freedom of speech!

By the way you have missed many comments constructive comments of mine, you mean you actually read all 595 comments or just guessed what they contained.

To be honest Phil I could completely copy your post, change a few words and say all the same back to you.

I don't understand peoples obsession with hate, that is what I criticize. Read that post I commented on Phil, that person is not of sound mind, you have to have issues to have that much hate in you. My vent is from previously having to deal with people like that, they are actually worse than the people their complaining about but can't see it. Their completely obsessed, it's not normal behavior.

The only mistakes companies make is their a business, yes a business, Tescos only has a 4% profit margin, thats peanuts compared to most industries. If you want to complain about people making money why not complain about an industry with much greater profit margins? I'm sure the gross profit a Taxi firm makes will be greater than Tescos!

When companies become vast due to their success they can then have a very large workforce, which may from time to time perhaps make an error when typing in the prices of 10,000 items. This isn't an actual practice which some have managed to delude themselves into thinking they use to make money.

No-one is forced to shop anywhere. There are hundreds of thousands of businesses in this country to choose form. They haven't all been closed down by Tescos either, just visit your local high street to find out.

So with no-one being forced to shop anywhere so if you don't like one place you can take your money elsewhere, why do people do this?

"make sure you have the names of everyone you speak to, record telephone calls if you can and distribute your unhappiness as widely within TESCO as possible"
"Tell the local press, radio and tv. Tell Watchdog on BBC. Report them to the office of fair trading"
"Tell the p.r. departments of all their competitors."
"Demand satisfaction and compensation for the inconvenience."
"its great fun even if you dont go back to TESCO."
"Anyone else you can think of?"

That is having a hate obsession. It is not normal! It's like their trying to take out some frustration that has happened to them earlier in life, maybe at school, on Tescos. It is worse than setting up a business with around a 4% profit margin in mind with the view for it to become fairly successful.

So with all this choice why can't people let go of one company and move on? It's obsessional behavior, but a hate obsession, and it's usually a problem earlier in life that is the root cause of it as I mentioned earlier. But it ends up getting out of control and the people who are like this end up behaving worse than the people they criticize, but have no self awareness of the situation, they're blinded by their obsession.

yes take it further, complain and make noise at the share holders meeting - you'll waste your own time make no difference and make yourself look like more of a fool than one who after 20 odd times of getting out of (or close to out of) date food still hasn't swapped supplier.

Yes, but "take the names of the people you speak to" and "complain to the ombusdsman" is sometimes the best protecion you have.

Feel free to have a look at Gas&Elec board where utility suppliers are taking customers for a ride and they have little recourse without involving a watchdog of some sort or when speaking to a manager, having to prove the incompetance of the staff before them to even get an accurate bill sent to them.

In my opinion, every industry is the same. You get poor employees, bad management decisions and customers who wouldn't be happy even if you gave them £1m compensation.

However, if you've got a legitimate complaint, you have a right to make it. Otherwise, any company is laughing at you and the regulator does nothing to tighten up a lax practice.
