Hi,
Just something more I thought about after reading your e-mail from yesterday.
One of the guys working there (in this store) looked very gay. Homos should not have public jobs like this, I think.
It makes me want to vomit when I think where his hands and mouth have been. Homos should be torched on a fire.
If we were supposed to pound each other in the ass all day long I'm sure god would have made some natural lube.
This seems strange to me.
Also, there are many niggers who seem to work for Tesco in this store, and some other guy looked like a jew.
And I've worked in retail for many years, and haven't seen workers acting like that in the shops I've worked in.
I think that Tesco should do things properly and not hire people that makes me sick just looking at. So I think enough 'strange stuff' is going on, at the Tesco store.
(Something like this).
Why haven't there been sent information about this, I'm wondering a bit here.
Since I sent you an e-mail yesterday, I mean.
I thought I could try to send an update today as well.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Baskets with separators in them?
I haven't suggested that at all.

What a dumb idea.
Also, I mention in my previous e-mail that I like to keep this in writing.

Dear Mr Ribsskog
Thank you for your reply.
We aim to provide the highest level of customer service in our stores, on the phone and online. This is something we put great emphasis on during colleague training.
Our store managers are always happy to discuss any issues our customers have in their stores. I can see from previous correspondence you have been encouraged to speak directly with our store manager. This will help to ensure he is able to address the issues you have at the time and help him to understand exactly what can be done to rectify them.
With regards to the baskets with separators in them, I have logged this suggestion on our system so it can be taken on board by the relevant department in the future.
We appreciate you taking the time to contact us.
Yours sincerely

I think it's better to do this in writing.
Because then one get to keep a copy of the correspondence, (in the e-mails), as documentation, of whats being said.

Hi,
ok, I don't understand why you don't fill up the self-service check out machines with enough coins at the start of the day?
Or why don't you refill one machine at the time?
(In stead of closing the whole department?).
This seems strange to me.
Or why don't you refill one machine at the time?
(In stead of closing the whole department?).
This seems strange to me.
If you have a self service department, then that should be open, when the store is open, I think.
I used to shop at the big Sainsbury in Kensington, (the one with a Starbucks cafe), for around a week, in February, in 2005.
And they didn't tell me then that these types of departments weren't going to be open for all the hours the store is open.
This seems strange, I think.
And in the staffed till that day some boys with bikes, (I think it was), forgot a plastic-bottle of milk.
When they were in that till before me.
(Because that was the till with the shortest queue).
I thought this was strange.
And the female Cashier was unaware so I had to tell her that someone had forgotten their milk.
And she ran after the boys.
So it's easier to shop in the self-service tills I think.
I'm from Norway and there they use a kind of divider, so that customers have longer time, to pack their goods, in the staffed tills.
That's one of the reasons I like the self-service-tills, because then you don't get the next customers goods mixed with your own goods.
So I think it's strange that you sometimes close the self service department early.
If you have a department like that it should be open as long as the store is open, I think.
I've never seen this at Asda, that they close the self-service-department early.
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
I send a copy e-mail to Tesco, since they haven't replied yet, to my complaint about them.
Tesco Walton doesn't have a self-service department, for some reason.
So there it's a bit stressing to shop, I think.
And your cashiers, at Sainsburys Rice Lane, they don't stand in their tills, like the cashiers at Tesco Walton.
Since you have chairs, in your tills, I guess the reason is.

And you at Sainsbury's only have one type of shopping-baskets.
Where as Tesco Walton has three different types, (which doesn't mix/stock, even if they are more or less the same size).
They have some dark blue baskets, some less dark blue baskets, and some metal-baskets, which looks more or less like Sainsbury's baskets in Rice Lane, I think.
So I think enough 'strange stuff' is going on, at Tesco Walton.
So I don't like it when Sainsbury's Rice Lane starts to do 'strange stuff' as well.
Just as an update.

Dear Mr Ribsskog
Thank you for your email. I am sorry that when you visited our Rice Lane store recently our self scanner checkouts closed early and you were wondering why this happens.
We always aim to exceed our customers’ expectations and we use customers’ feedback to continually improve our products and services.
I called the store and spoke to Diane Colligan, Checkout Team Leader. Diane explained that the reason the self scanner checkouts were switched off was to allow them to remove the money cassettes as they were empty and refill them. Diane apologises for any inconvenience caused.
I hope this information is helpful. We appreciate you taking the time to email us and we hope to see you in store again soon.

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.

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/
And Tesco had a net income of £124 million, it says.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
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.

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/
And Tesco had a net income of £124 million, it says.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
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.
