We don't have Asda here...........We have Lydl and Aldi......Both drive me mad cause there is no atmosphere in the place........no music just the drone of fridges. Can't read the lables....all foreign and no, they're not written in Irish.........lol. Must say that Lydl veggies are very good, fresh and cheaper than Tesco... Aldi staff are miserable.

I think there is a limit but only on certain lines like own brand lemonade for instance and it depends on top selling lines for the season e.t.c

Well I couldn't say that about our Tesco. It is well stocked, very clean and pleasant staff........... The gripe I have is that they keep discontinuing items that I use.
If you would like to visiy my Tesco you will be very welcome........Cheap flights to Ireland on www.ryanair.ie.........only problem is the baggage allowance.........lol

Also (on me soap box now) at our local Tesco store on a Saturday morning they allow one customer to take not 1 2 or 6 loaves of bread -no out he walked with 2 trays of bread - and the bread that was on offer the Danish one which was 44p a loaf. My sister commented and was told that he is the customer. We have an idea this customer was buying the cheap bread and doing a sandwich round.

I think customers should be limited to 6 items of sales stuff to allow a fair share - personally.

Well I think they should put up a notice letting shoppers know that they do a sweep on a Friday between 3-4 -we can all avoid the shop for that hour.

Dawn Report 21 Sep 2008 15:17

well I can never get everything I want and the promotion stuff is always out of stock and all I ever here is the tannoy saying "all multiskill staff to the checkout"

what about when you go in the 24 hr stores and come 9pm you cant move for them bringing out all the racks to restock over night, yet the store is still open, but you cant get to what you are looking for because the damm stuff is in the way, cant they leave it in the warehouse til they are going to do something with it?

I said to a staff member stocking shelves " be more room in here if it was not for the staff"

Reply "we feel like that about the customers" !!

Yep mine is the same, always stocking the blinky shelves and staff in the way when you want to get something. Feel like we are living in a third world country sometimes.

To top it I have just placed an order on their website for furniture and oh dear, there is a problem we have had to cancel the order and they give a list of the options why, the only option that applys is the fact is that they cannot contact my bank to make the transaction -just spent nearly an hour doing it too. Well they can go and jump! Rant over. Sorry.

To add to it, was up at one of their Tesco Direct stores to make sure the item of furniture was the one I wanted and so ordered on line to get extra discounts this morning! What a rigmarole. arrrgghhh!
