Empty shelves at Tesco

I work at tesco - the summer before I'm leaving for Uni - and you are right. It is never full, but the warehouse is full of stock. The reason? servilely understaffed! I have to work 5 departments on my part time shift - and tills.

The rolls and buns on sunny days is true at our store as well. that is due to not ordering enough. We usually run out at around 12:00 on a sunny day.

I cannot wait to leave this place. It's terrible.

Couldn't agree more. My 2 local stores never have Tesco's Healthy Living /Lighter Choice Burgers. These were absolutely delicious and you couldn't tell they were low fat as they were succulent and full of flavour. Tesco's promote themselves as a Healthier Choice and keep encouraging us to join their Dieting on-line, yet have stopped stocking a very good product!

I too have recently been having pricing problems with Tesco and they are always rising. I also buy Tesco Value Chicken noodles for 9p and when I went in the other day they had gone up to 14p. Also I used to buy the Tesco Value shortbread biscuits for 13p and they have jumped to 30p for a small pack in just a week..over 3 times the original price. I also mentioned this to the customer services who gave no real explanation other than the prices do change. Its really annoying making a list and making sure you have enough money and when you get there all of the prices have gone up alot. I am seriously going to shop elsewhere. I am glad that someone else is just as annoyed as me

1) Prices of products in supermarkets will and do fluctuate. I am astounded that you wasted you and the customer service's desk time by asking about a price increase on Cranberry Juice. Yes, it is annoying when prices go up, but generally there are so many factors involved in the cost of each item (availability, changes in suppliers, problems with crops, the economy etc etc). Plus, I'm certain that the customer services assistant would not be aware of all price changes.
2) Staff do not have much say in what stock comes in. I do not work for Tescos (and never have), but they don't give their staff a lot of autonomy, which means that computers are often making calculated guesses at stock levels. I won't bore you with the full details of the complex system involved in stock replenishment.
3) Tescos is a shop, not Alladin's magic cave. No store will have every item in stock. Yes, they generally have daily deliveries, but I bet you're the same kind of person who moans when you get stuck behind one of those big delivery lorries.
4) There really are bigger things to worry about in life, like world hunger and incurable diseases.

tesco are filth, my mate worked for them 12-14 hr split shifts...when he had found something better his pay was missing a lot of hours...it took threats of local paper publicity just to get paid in full.

I don't know if I am alone here but when I go in to tesco I find it really un-organised and the cost of many items seems really high compared to other supermarkets ?

yh joe is right youu should defo jus get urself a life ! but I agree sainsburys has the most fitt boys !!

I think you should get over it and go do your shopping somewhere else if it bothers you so much and you should just get a life.

I'd also like to add that the problems with Tescos stock could easilly be a result of the looming world food crisis of which you all probobly know nothing about because you like to read the very informative, verified and completely truthful papers.

I work for tesco and have done for the last 5 years.im 44 years old and feel about 6 most of the time the managers have no respect whatsoever for staff only the customers..

I only ever shop at tesco at night, when the crowds of council estate scum are in the pubs, and not crowding the aisles and checkouts with their bad hair and football shirts and beer bellies. It makes it so much easier to get around.

If Tesco treated their customers like they did their staff, they would be bankrupt and out of business within a month.
