Yes and you know what I meant.

Theres a difference between asking a question and asking for a companies confidential financial information such as margins and wholesale costs.

And as far as you point of this being a money saving site goes then my reply relates to money saving. How much has this cost Tesco to deal with the op's complaint so far? It can't be cheap if the first thing the op does is email the CEO which has to employ a PA to filter his emails. How much does it cost Tesco every year to deal with pointless complaints - yes it is pointless, one you don't have to buy anything and secondly the op has no right to dictate to Tescos what it's prices should be.

If you work out the cost to Tescos with having to deal with complaints with people who have superiority complexes, just want to moan or trying to make themselves feel important it must come to millions. This will effect the cost of goods.

Why should I and everyone else have to pay more because Tescos and other companies has to employ people to deal with pointless complaints like this?

Uktim what are you on? Smoking or injecting?
A perfectly normal post on MSE about price rises and you've turned it into some sort of personal attack and won't let go.
The OP made his/her point, you've made yours. Do you need to go on and on or do you plan on getting a life one day>

Do you need to go on

If you someone writes a new post about a comment of mine then why can't I put my point of view.

You then start a personal attack on me, Your post seems to be a rather hypocritical point!

I don't usually do this, but I looked back at other posts you've made on various different threads. You've disagreed on almost all of the OP's posts. Whenever someone has complained about poor service from various companies, you seem to have stuck up for the big companies! Do you like arguing just for the sake of arguing? You have the opposite viewpoint from nearly every OP's posts you've replied to. You make out that the OP is daft for complaining about anything. Do you live in the consumer (vent) board?

I'm sorry uktim. I had to say something because I can't believe how you're reacting to someone complaining about the price of a yogurt!

No you've missed something very specific.

There are around 40 threads started in this area of the forum daily. I comment on around one new thread every other day, allbeit several times on those threads if they have been updated. The ones I comment on have something in common, it's the op's in these threads who are complaining for the sake of it or just plain wrong.

You'll find on every single one of those threads I'm not to the only to say so! The so called "consumer rights" has gone too far with some people who just take the !!!! which in turn leads to companies becoming more cynical therefore having to introduce umpteen policies to protect themselves from these people which just make it more difficult for the rest of us.

There are other threads on here where consumers just use the fact their a consumer to through their weight around and think they can treat the staff the way slaves were treated hundreds of years ago.

For some reason when people witness behavior which would otherwise be considered unacceptable in one way or another by society if it's done by a consumer they turn a completely blind eye. They'll even possibly agree/join in when it comes to pointlessly attacking a company just for the sake of it or to make themselves feel powerful because in their minds you can behave like that if your a consumer.

The funny thing is people will disagree but funnily enough as soon as they become the seller then start noticing this. You just have to go over to the eBay board to notice that for some reason people only start noticing how poor the behavior of consumers can be when their the ones selling.

If you look you'll notice all those unreasonable self centered buyers on this section of the site. As I've already mentioned dealing with these people costs companies a lot of money so it is relevant to money saving. If I find people who think they can treat/speak people who work for companies like slaves or are just being selfish or expecting compensation because they've gone into a shop at xmas and it was busy so they had to queue for 5 minutes then I'll say exactly what I think!

I think you need to take it up with Martin as to why there's the need for any vent boards then. That's one of the aims of this site - consumer rights. Look at the right of this thread. What do you see? Consumer revenge! Most people don't want revenge - they just want answers to some reasonable questions. I know some people complain far too readily, but most people on here are not like that.

I like the vent board, it gives me a chance to put a cross another view that people might not have considered.

The op has had an answer. Tescos obviously and quiet rightly won't go into the actual wholesale costs of any items, the op has no right to know this.

Has the op left it?................no!

That is where the border of reasonable has been crossed in this case.

There wouldn't be a shortage of anything if farmers weren't being paid by the government to destroy a certain amount of what they produce, it wasn't all that long ago they had on the news farmers pouring perfectly good milk down the drain.

Does no-one watch/read news? It's been well documented that wheat and diary prices are rising in this country. Due to varuious factors,including the rise in animal feed, dairy's closing down and high global demand. If the base ingredients are costing more then so does the finished product.
The supermarkets said they would try and absorb rises, however I don't think much of that! I noticed the yougurts have been creeping up, and Tesco put 1p on a small bread baton, but 10p on a packet of 6 hot-dog rolls!

supermarkets up there prices for the slightest reason, somebody said that bread had gone up £1-£1.16 yet at our local corner shop who i would normaly never buy from (but had an offer on bananas) as there so expensive has the same bread at just 99p!! so we now buy bread there (unless morrisons have 2-£) so how can a little shop sell bread for less then a supermarket? the bread is made the same for both places and one has bigger buying power then the other. and while where on about tesco uping there prices, how come BEFORE Christmas rum sauce was 50p+ after Christams it was 1p!!! big profit or big loss?

You never know, they may even be paying the farmers a decent price for the milk they use.

They don't get paid to throw it away, they are only allowed to produce a certain amount called quotas. Quotas that they have to buy. If they want to sell their extra milk then they have to buy other farmers quota allowances. the only other alternative is to sell it at a loss for pig food.
