Can't people follow instructions?

C'fon.
That prank rings a bell - I fear I may have met you in some distant past through some mutual friends.
Small world eh?

From this, I can deduce that you are either retarded or just a d1ck. Why would you do a "big shop" at 22:30 on a Friday night and then complain that the tills are closed? If you have no arms, then I can understand your complaint, but then again, why did you do your "big shop" so late at night? Go during the day if you want help!

Why should I do Tesco's job for them? If they open a shop at night they should supply staff to take my money at night. The self serve aisle is designed for people to go through quickly with a few items. The normal tills with their conveyor belts are designed for people with a trolley full of shopping.

I went shopping at night because that was convenient around work and because the shop was open.

You're looking at it the wrong way. You're not doing their job for them, they're able to stay open by having unmanned counters.
And clearly it wasn't convenient for you to shop at night, as the services you required weren't available, so shut the fark up and shop during the daytime where you can get helped with your special needs.

I'm with mcnultycop on this. If they're going to stay open then they should have a checkout available unless they are making it clear that there are reduced services out of normal hours. We've got kids and sometimes the only time that we get to do the shopping is when the kids are in bed and either me or the missus goes out.

But they do make it clear! Look in any store and they'll tell you. They do have checkouts available, they're called 'self-serve checkouts'.
Seriously, if you have issues that you have to do something for yourself, then I have 3 options for you:
1. Go during the day
2. Do internet shopping
3. Jump off a cliff as you're clearly a bellend.

I'll just choose to do my shopping at somewhere where they value customer service, rather than rolling over and accepting it. It is all pretty straightforward.

Yet to come across any supermarket that values customer service. Sure, they all say they do, but at the end of the day they don't give a flying fark about you. Tis all about the money for them, sadly.

Shocker.
What customer service would you want in a supermarket though?

I personally don't much care for customer service. As long as the shelves are full of what I want and the little old lady is ready at the self service check outs with her badge to scan when I put my booze through, then I'm happy. As for the "thank you for waiting" and "do you need a hand packing" and the random chit chat they spout these days......

Not too much to ask for?

So.... you say that they're lacking in customer service, and then say that what you;d like is things that they (generally) all do already?
Did you fall out of the spazwangle tree this morning or something?

My first post was an observation more than a request

YeehaaMcgee

Ok, fine, but an observation of what? You say they're lacking in customer service, well, give an example.
What service could they offer? You frikking spacker.

oodboo

This is getting boring now.

jndb72

OK, take my local ASDA for example

If you actually want to speak to anyone on the "Customer Service" desk there's normally a queue, and when you do get to speak to them they generally try to fob you off.

At all times of day (or night) there's generally stacks of produce left in the middle of aisle's when the staff stand about chatting. When I was in there last Thursday it was interesting to hear how one of the staff had f*****d 2 girls the weekend before, his words not mine.

You can often queue for ages at the checkouts, usually when the checkout person has a good natter about her life in general (this is why i mostly use the self service checkout's)

Asking a "co-worker" as they liked to be addressed where the brown sauce has moved to mostly result's in vacant stares.

Despite having double yellow lines and cones outside the main doors they still allow people to park there

In general, an all round poor serivce, in my opinion.

YeehaaMcgee

Most of those things aren't anything to do with customer service - just people being c*nts. Which, as an adult, surely you've grown to accept and assume by now?
I guess you must work in one though, since the staff prefer you to call them "co-workers". So maybe you are your own problem. May I suggest suicide?

Duly noted, considered, and ignored

I'm pretty sure that my request to you, makes me the customer, and the customer is always right.
Now, offer me good customer service, like a good little boy, and comply with my demands.

Advantage? This is shopping, not a competition.

I think what you're looking for is the disabled bay (the one that gives those infertile enough not to produce kids a space for when they've thrown in the towel in life).

I'll park in a disabled space, they're the nearest of them all. And then what I'll do is park across bays to take up multiple.V

Is that you in your avatar? If so you're totally excused for taking up several spaces. Needs must and all that.

I once over heard a couple of shelfers in ASDA discussing the car they stole the night before. Lovely.

Personally I used to shop in Waitrose or Tescos - Waitrose for quality goods, vaguely useful staff, smaller crowds and that kind of stuff - Tescos because the booze tended to be cheaper and quite varied . When I was younger I was Tescos all the time - biggest store, biggest range, cheapish stuff, big well laid out store with spacious aisles.

The computer checkouts are generally pretty iritating (out in Canada they close them in the evenings and keep proper tills open which I find weird since they could have 4 self serves and 1 staff instead of 2-3 staff and speed things up). the voice in the self serves seems to be the same here as it is in the UK and the constant "place the item in the bag" before you have even registered that its accepted the bar code makes me want to smash the thing to pieces.

I dont really need customer service in a supermarket - you get a trolley, you walk round, pick stuff up, ask if you cant find something (so as long as the guy loading up an aisle knows roughly the lay out its all good), and a till I can check out at - dont mind a short wait.

Everyone gets very worked up about going to supermarkets. Chill the f**k out, you'll live longer.

Went for a ride in Richmond Park on Sunday evening. The roads had been shut all day for an event. As I was waiting for my mates at the gate a bloke got out of his car to argue with the guy on the gate about getting through the park. He got out of his car leaving it in the middle of the junction with the door wide open to have the conversation. Did he think the bloke would say "Oh, it's you! Of course you can come through but nobody else can." The idiot spent a good couploe of minutes arguing. Meanwhile he has blocked the traffic in both directions as nobody can get by. Loads of them hooting their horns and shouting at him. But no, the world needs to revolve around him. Phucktard!

a few weeks ago after i'd picked my lad up from nursery i came around the corner to find a huge line of traffic. i could here everyone beeping their horns and stuff so after about a minute i got out of the car to take a look...there was 2 guys beating 7 bells of shite out of each other in the middle of the road.....blocked the road for a good couple of mins while i was there until the police turned up - hell knows how long they'd be going at it...but it is in newport so people just accepted it and moved on
