Hi,
The receipt says I had paid for the goods, at 21:56.
Still I was screamed at in the shop.
One Tesco-guy screamed.
today I was at Tesco Walton.
The receipt says I had paid for the goods, at 21:56.
Still I was screamed at in the shop.
One Tesco-guy screamed.
And a Tesco-woman talked on the calling.
That the customers had to go out of the shop.
But I've worked with closing shops in Norway for years and never screamed to anyone like that.
Where are your manners?
When I walked out of the shop, before closing-time.
I had to watch my head 'mate', a Tesco-guy said.
What is this 'mate', I'm wondering.
Is it working-class-culture og muslim culture?
And they close the shop before 10 PM.
Unlike when I closed the shops in Norway.
I waited untill the time had passed closing-time.
And then we didn't let in any new customers.
And waited untill the ones in the shop were finished shopping.
(We might tell them the shop was closed, if the time was passed closing-time).
Also, today you were again sold out of your own brand cola.
I'm on a budget and bought the Sunsip one instead.
This has aspartame in it that causes cancer, it says, some places on the internet.
Do you want your customers to die of cancer.
Why don't you order enough of your own-brand cola?
It doesn't seem to be enough shelves, in this shop.
Also you have three types of baskets, that doesn't stock.
Am I living in a thirld world country, I'm wondering.
I think only countries like Khazakstan, whould have kept the old baskets, when they bought a new type, that didn't stock with the old.
And do you wash the old baskets like my old employer in Norway, Rimi, did?

Hi,
today I was at Tesco Walton right before closing-time.
A lose dog ran in my direction, right before I got to the shop.
A bin had been turn-over by the dog, which ran away it seemed.
Also, you were sold out of you own-brand cola.
It said 'tempoarely out of stock', or something, on the lable-list.
How can this be the case with a cola?
I've worked almost a life-time in retail in Norway, and own-brand cola was never sold out, the way I remember it, from Norway.
It's just water and sugar mostly.
How can you be sold out?
Have you found horse-meat in it?
Three Tesco-staff were standing in the soda-aile.
Three Tesco-staff were standing in the soda-aile.
In a group.
It's almost like one think something is wrong.
Also, the check-out staff don't use dividers in the tills, so they put my stuff with the stuff belonging to the customer before me.
Why don't you use dividers in the tills?
I've now also seen that you have two types of baskets, also at the Tesco Superstore in Liverpool One.
I think this system with to types of baskets of the same size that doesn't stock, must be like a nightmare, for the staff and the customers.
Is this to make people use trollies and shop more?
I instead bought two bottles of Coca Cola for £2.
Since you had a campaign.
Have Coca Cola paid you to stop selling your own-brand cola while this campaign is on-going?
If I'm allowed to ask these questions.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
today at was at Tesco Walton again.
I took a photograph of the baskets, so that you can see what I mean.
You have two types of baskets, which are the same size, but don't stock well, at the check-out.
So this makes custommers stressed, (I dear to claim).
And the cashiers then can 'screw' the custommers and give them to little change back, and things like that.
Since the custommers are stressed.
Or like happened today, a male cashier in his twenties started to rub or pet my Frijj milkshake, (which I bought as a kind of dessert).
I think you should train your staff to act conventional, at least at work.
I was a bit discusted by this rubbing/peting.
I've worked as a cashier at a big hyper-market named OBS Triaden, (Coop), and now that there is no reason to rub or pet goods in a sensual way, for cashiers.
This was something 'new age', I think.
Please be conventinonal, as some people, (like me), like it better when things are normal.
That must have been som wicka or something, I suspect.
And the baskets made me stressed, (since it was an untidy stack that I had to put the basket in), and I therefore became an easy victim for this wicka-guy, or what he was.
Just to try to help you be more aware of what's going on in your shops.

Hi again,
if you look at the earlier e-mails, your representative writes this:
> I have also spoken to Colin with regards to the baskets, and while some of
> the baskets were inherited with the store
> I have also spoken to Colin with regards to the baskets, and while some of
> the baskets were inherited with the store
But I was at the shop again today, since Sainsbury's were sold out.
And I spotted that you really have two different types of _Tesco_-baskets.
So why do you write 'inherited with the store'?
It's absolute bullsh*t.
You just make up the sh*t you write, and don't really investigate.
I'm an earlier Rimi, (Ahold), shop-manager, and don't like being bullsh*ted like this.
I understand Tesco is a big retailer, but Ahold is also a big retailer.
I also know a bit about food-shops, and I don't like being treated like sh*t, like this Tesco custommer-support is doing.
Shame on you, Tesco!

Hi again,
and I used to have a lot of 'strange' shop-manager collegues, when I worked as a shop manager in Norway.
So I don't really like to speak with shop managers.
I think it's ok to deal with this in writing.
But I think I have got to say what I wanted now.
I have some favorite products at Tesco and some at Sainsbury's.
So I think I'm going to still shop at both shops.
But I haven't found very much to complain about at Sainsbury's Rice Lane yet.
So I haven't sent them any e-mails.
As long as there isn't anything new that happens, in that Tesco-shop, which I think should be complained about.
Thanks you very much for that you have read my e-mails!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
if you don't value my feed-back I have to agree that theres no point in continuing this.
There was a second vocher I didn't get, which your collegue wrote he'd sent to my old adress, around Christmas, last year.
But I guess it wasn't sent.
I don't think you have addressed it all, you haven't event mentioned the stained basket, which should be cleaned with high-preassure-cleaner.
I was at Aldi today, in Liverpool City Center, the baskets were very clean.
But if you don't value feedback from experienced shop managers then I guess it's no point.
Tesco are the biggest retailer in the UK, and the third biggest world-wide, I read on Wikipedia.

That you use Sommerfield-baskets and Tesco-baskets that don't mix, seems strange for the Worlds third biggest retailer, I think.
It's like what an independant corner-shop wouldn't even have done, I think.
I'm just giving you my sincere feed-back here, but you don't seem to interested, to be honest.
I've alse seen in the news that Tesco-shares fell over Christmas.
Maybe you should listen more to your customers, if you want the shares to stop falling.
But I guess it's no use trying to speak to deaf ears, like a Norwegian saying says.

If you would like to discuss any of the issues, Colin will be happy to meet with you when you are next in the store.
On checking your previous correspondence, I can see my colleague Yvonne Edmonds, sent you a £10 Tesco Moneycard to
Flat 3, 5
Leather Lane, Liverpool.L2 2AE. This was sent on 12th May 2011.
As a company committed to delivering the very best in terms
of customer service it is very disappointing when any of our customers are
unhappy with us and I do hope you will accept my apologies for any
inconvenience or upset that these matters may have caused.
Unfortunately, there is nothing more we can add to what has already been said, and I do not feel that continuing this correspondence will bring any further benefit to either of us. Therefore we will not be entering into any further contact with regards to these issues.
Many thanks once again for contacting the Chief Executive's Office.
Kind regards,
Shaun Wheeldon
Executive Response Team Leader

Hi,
I'm not happy with your reply about the bike-boys.
Because the security-guard didn't even try to get the bike boys to move,
even if he was standing just a couple of meters away from the
enterance-door, which the bike-boys blocked.
It was like he didn't care, I think.
Also, like I wrote in my earlier e-mail I think it's very unpractical,
(bordering idiocracy), to have two types of baskets, which don't mix.
This is so dum, I think, that I want to escalate this please.
These baskets doesn't cost much.
And you haven't replied about the dirt and grease in the baskets eighter.
Rotten fruit etc., have been laying in the baskets, and made a kind of oil,
that is tacky and sticky at the bottom of many of the baskets.
This is unhygenic, I think.
Please escalate to your line-manager.
