Tesco Armed Forces - Unable to find Free Breakfast on screens

Just visited Tesco Blackpool Road, Preston for Armed Forces/Veteran's Free Breakfast, staff very helpful but they could not find where to order on touch screens. Spent over 40 mins with staff ringing other branches who also did not know how to get through the touch screens. All this should have been checked out before hand you have had 364 days to get it right. Bad performance especially with all your press statemetns saying Tesco Supports the armed forces & veterans. It should not be left it out without any backup.

New every day low price tag is just price manipulation

New every day low price tag is just manipulation to make the public think Tesco is actually doing their bit to help us all with the cost of living.
I buy at least 6 of these new low price products and all of them had the exaxt price of the new low price previous to this piece of kidology from the masters of kidology Tesco. Most of these new low price products always had a price reduction every so often but now they remain at the same old price thus denying us of the benifits of special offers.
Throught their range they must be hundreds if not more products that until the introduction of the new low price alway had offers throughout the year. Customers are now being denied that benifit. How much extra turnover are Tesco making by stopping offers on many many products.Tesco are not helping their customers with this sceme. They, as usual are only lining their own pockets.
Come on Tesco stop all this blindsiding and just be truthful.

I was wondering if tesco had been taken over, my last few deliveries the quality of some products were awful, my last delivery the bleach had burst. I put the stuff in the sink then seen my t-shirt was ruined. I was told I had to take pictures to the store and start a complaints procedure.
Also I only got 90p refund for all the damages because I used vouchers ie 13p for fresh plum tomatoes.
Tesco has always been more expensive than most other online stores but the quality was mostly guaranteed but now it’s terrible. So no more Tesco for me. I give credit to the drivers, and the customer service call centre need the patience of a saint.

Appalling profit hungry non customer focused

Online shopping delivery failed to arrive, took the money and at 22:30 said they had delivered the shopping. This was 4 hours after they should have delivered it.
We had been ringing customer service from 18:25 and told it would arrive, called at 20:00 and at 21:30. Told every time it was definitely coming, at 22:30 got told it wasn’t.
This company has put profits over providing a basic service.
Clubcard has been scaled back and is essentially worthless, miserable staff in stores and online delivery (when it arrives).
This is the 5th time Tesco has wasted my time.
I cannot sustain spending my hard earned money on an incompetent profit focused business.
Avoid at all costs.

Tesco customer services is getting worse

Tesco services is getting worse. Ive had so many mistakes in the past such as their staff putting the same item through the scan twice and myself suffering the cost as I had mislaid the receipt.
On this occasion I missed being able to add to a shopping order by minutes, so I was forced into making another delivery time slot and making another separate order. After reluctantly paying for two deliveries within one hour of each other (£4.50 x 2) £9, Tesco's then decided to arrive with both deliveries at the same time/wanting to deliver all at the same time? they thought this was exceptable to make one delivery but then charge the customer for two deliveries, this was the decision of the deliveries supervisor I was informed? her name I spoke to was Vicky. whilst the driver was unhappy I'm sure I wouldn't think it was advisable to be rude and just drive off with no manners at all, he also did not inform me of 3 unavailables either before speeding off irresponsibly in the tescos van.
I'm sure that is what Customers services is therefore? making sure that Customers don't suffer through an error or sometimes unavoidable mistakes. Looking after the Loyal Customers who had been shopping there for over 30yrs. No care, thought or exceptions to these loyal customers.

The driver when arriving hammered at my front door, he did not knock and politely wait for the reply, he just hammered and hammered till I opened the door, he stood there as a representative of Tesco's in scruffy shorts and a scruffy black vest? As a representative of Tesco's (Though hot) a more suitable Tesco's uniform would be more appropiate, not dressed like he had just walked from a heavy pub session.
Staff are mean't to wear a uniform or at least a hi-viz vest I'm sure? because of safety on building sites and the work place we are all to wear PPE?

Tesco Click and Collect

I visited St Neots Store to collect my click and collect order which I paid £2 for.
I queued for 40 minutes behind many other cars, there was just 2 colleagues on duty, clearly not able to cope.
It was over 30 degrees and I saw crates and stacks of shopping left out in the sun. Clearly the cold chain was broken and my shopping chilled products were warm. I respectfully suggested the colleague to call his duty manager to get help.
It is impossible to phone the branch to complain. Tesco make it as difficult as possible to complain about service through any media. I now understand their dreadful trust pilot rating

Just had some Tesco's strawberries

Just had some Tesco's strawberries. Hard & crunchy and revoltingly sour. What have they made the growers do to the modern fruit, they were foul. If they were the first strawberrie I'd ever had I wouldn't be eating them again. Utterly disgusting.

TESCO crooks!

They are absolute crooks. I put an order and they say they have delivered. I called and waited more than 30 minutes to go through their stupid chatbots and then they tell me "oops, we didn't deliver ... please don't shout at me that we said we delivered, took the money but we didn't deliver."

APPAULING SERVICE.

I have everything recorded.

i found tesco online shopping was good , had to use morrisons today last week i was looking forward to some freezer items but did not turn up due to the freezer packed up , i got a refund which was good but all in all the drivers were brilliant , turning to morrisons as the service was great , will use tesco in the future , you cant blame tesco for freezer packing up , but tesco should use another outlet no just one place for online shopping

Fantastic experience-Victoria

At the Tesco Stockport store there is a lady called Victoria. She works at the self service till area. Every time i am there she always says hallo, she is always friendly to everyone and goes above and beyond to help me. A really lovely lady and a credit to the store. Thank you Victoria.

We love shopping at Tesco but this one…

We love shopping at Tesco but this one Tesco Extra, Swan shopping center Coventry road Yardley is getting worse to very bad, shelfs are always empty things like food items are thrown about empty container boxes on the shelves are mostly always still there and not removed, always reply back by some of the staff we are short staffed. Today as being a Saturday its completely empty every where in fridges, no frozen food at all what a waste of time, staff states air conditioning has broken down, this place should be called Tesco Empty instead as its always like that how about replace the manger with a bit of common sense, the parking is just as bad as there is never any disabled parking and is took over by people with no badges and or borrowed from there next door neighbor you always see them calmy jump out of there car, best place to go to is Tesco in Monkspath Shirley Solihull no issues at all.

Weekly shopping at Tesco

Wen to Tesco store Loudwater High wycombe, what a disaster. All fruit and veg shelevs were empty, go to chiller section most of the broken and very little to offer. Couldnt even get a pint of milkCompared to Aldi which I was forced to goto as I couldnt get the shopping. All shelves heaving and all of the chilled goods that you could want. Prices nominally 10% cheaper. Avoid this Tesco at all costs
