The Weekly Gripe

Out of stock at Tescos, why don't they get more stock in?

Empty shelves at Tesco

Out of stock

I went in on Monday after work to do my weekly shop and wasn’t surprised to leave without having got everything on my shopping list. One thing in particular that they always seem to be out of stock of is Tesco Healthy Living Greek Yoghurt.



It's so annoying when you go to the local supermarket to do you're weekly shopping and find that the products you are after are out of stock. It is even more inconvenient when the same items are still out of stock a week later.

10-4-2008Angie, You are so right about the delivery driver comments. I was once kept waiting for an hour OUTSIDE one of their RDCs before they even let me in. They even had the cheek to hold me up for another 4 hours once I was inside. How long does it take to remove 50 boxes of turkey breast off a 7.5 tonne...moreHeaxMeux

30-11-2007Road Virus, I was about to gripe about the Tesco related gripes by suggesting at least £10 be involved for a topic so we can get back to what's really ruining this country, the chavs, rather than hear boring old pensioners have a coronary over 20p price increases on cranberry juice.

23-10-2007I'd love to run into Tesco's and throw a match into the fireworks aisle(when it's getting near November) then run like hell and watch the whole shooting match get blown sky-high!!Pyro
18-8-2007Maybe one of the reasons Tesco can't keep their shelves stocked is because of the amount of time they hold up delivery drivers at their depots. I have delivered their several times and 3 to 4 hour waits are the norm, sometimes longer. They are'nt always polite to us drivers either. I don'...moreangie
18-8-2007I am getting fed up with poor stock in the Tesco Extra in Great Yarmouth. This is a huge store and the everyday stuff they are running out of is not acceptable. Yesterday they had run out of the following very normal items: Thirst Pocket Kitchen Rolls Country Life Butter Andrex Toilet Rolls ...moreDaisy
18-7-2007"Worker" - you sound way too bright to be working at Tesco, or rather working on the shop floor!Me
18-7-2007Continued.... Fresh availability is shocking in stores though, and I think it is awful, especially in 24hour stores. It isn’t getting better, although it is being looked at. Loose on the vine tomatoes. Strange one this. Why only sell this type? - Tesco say it’s to improve shelf l...moreWorker
18-7-2007I work for Tesco. Checkout staff are paid higher than all other supermarkets, and only have to carry out, 6 steps at the checkouts to make sure they serve a customer correctly. SIX STEPS, it's not rocket science, although to many it is. Most staff fail on the simple one of saying, "Hello...moreWorker
16-6-2007I too work in Tesco and do not understand why we aren't allowed to use the void key. I mean its so easy to accidently double scan things and it is so frustrating getting hold of supervisors to void things out!!!Emma
13-6-2007I HATE TESCO! I slaved there in between college ten years ago and detested every minute of it. My boss was an idiot, the customers were common scum(mainly from the council estate nearby) and the flourescent lights would give me a blinding headache. But I got my own back! One manic Bank Holiday satur...moreRoad Virus
15-5-2007Is it me? Since Tesco started selling their tomotoes 'on the vine', they just don't keep! Could it be that the stalks and other extra annoying bits bruise the fruit? When tomatoes were sold 'loose', they kept perfectly well for an acceptable length of time, but now I always seem...moreDisgruntled of Somerset
