    Went to customer services today as I had been charged twice for my UHT milk multipack, twice £2.85, and she tried to give me a £2.85 refund. Told her I wanted a £5.70 refund, which she duly complied with

    Had a read of the sign there, and it does actually say at the bottom that if you have been overcharged they'll refund you and give you the product for nothing. However apparently this branch is currently running at a loss, so they are only giving customers the product for free if they specifically ask for it

    Report them to customer service Tesco "refund and replace" is a company wide compulsory policy NO manager has the discretion to overrule it. Report them!!

    I couldn't find any bar code scanners in the Aylesbury store this lunchtime - there was a big hole in the wall with all the usual posters saying "scan your items here..." though. Looks like it had been removed very recently.
    Can we assume that they know people are getting wise thanks to MSE and have started removing the scanners to make it more difficult for us to find their mistakes??


    i visit the aylesbury store often (boyfriend lives in aylesbury) i justtake anything i dont know the price off or want to enquire to the c/s desk or to the electrical dept as they seem to not have a lot to do there lol
    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,

    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,

  • Just received my Tesco shopping (from Newport store) and for some reason the pack of 3 mild onions (in an orange net) were priced at 10p.

    Not very exciting, but if someone wants to stock up??

    When I have complained about this before and taken the matter to HO they say that they only mean overcharging for an item not duplicate charging. Therefore they didn't over charge you for the milk as an item but just rang it through twice.

    Probably all us home delivery customers getting £10 off on a £50 spend using the MSE codes, and only buying BOGOF items!!

    What a waste of time that would be, the manager would simply deny that people were only being given it if they specifically asked for it, and I have better things to do with my time thanks very much :)

    In my opinion Tesco senior management would have returning the store to profit as their top priority ;)
    Thanks to all who post constructively.
