Hi,

today I was at Tesco Walton again, (and also a Sainsbury-shop).

Budget chicken nuggets were sold out at Tesco Walton today, for the second day in a row.


When I walked in to the shop, a security guard placed himself between me and the shopping-baskets, with his behind towards me.

He was completely un-aware of that I wanted a basket.

(Or he pretended to be unaware).

Is it right that security-guards in Tesco tidy the shopping-baskets?

Isn't that a 'normal' Tesco-staff-job?


I ask that because the security guard seemed to lack basic customer-service skills, like being aware of a customer that walks into the shop, (of whom half of them wants a basket, or something like that).


It's hard for me to belive this security-guard.

Was he acting in-polite and provocing me, I'm wondering.

Also you have changed packaging on your budget orange juice which you sell from the 'milk-department', (that is the type you sell from a fridge).


Also, I tried to complain to the woman in the check-out that the chicken nuggets were sold out.

But she didn't answer me at all.

Before she waited for a long time, before giving me the receipt.


(This was at 21.13, it says on the receipt).

Also, most of your cashiers are standing in their tills.

As an experienced cashier I wonder why they don't want to sit on their chairs.


Is this something cultural, I'm wondering.

Regards,

Erik Ribsskog

PS.

And to Sainsbury's in Rice Lane.

You closed your self-service tills at around 21.15, (I think it was), on Wednesday.


Why do you close them early, I'm wondering.

Hi,

I've checked on Wikipedia now.

And Storebrand had a profit of NOK 1471 million, in 2010, it says.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storebrand

And Tesco had a net income of £124 million, it says.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco

So Tesco had a lower profit, even if Tesco has 537 784 employees.

And Storebrand has 2160 employees.

That says something about that Tesco aren't that well run, I think.

Could it be the problem with the baskets?

Hi,

I've studied Information Management in Norway, for two years, in the late
80's and early 90's.

And as part of a Management/Organisation-module there, I contacted the big
Norwegian insurance-company UNI Storebrand, and they sent me their
organisation-map.

They are also a big company, so I don't buy this.

I don't need a very detailed organisation-map.

A general one would be ok, then I would at least get the overview on how
your customer service is organised.
