I bet Vernon is a reg in Waitrose
My wife actually bothers to check her shopping receipts.Why? I dont find them any better or worse than the others.
Ooh, supermarket citrus stories, I've got one! At the till in an ASDA, the cashier, who'd never seen a grapefruit before, bless her, went frantically leafing through her laminated list of fruit prices whilst saying out loud ''big lemon!'' (And before you say it, she wasn't referring to me.)Once in a blue moon I get Tesco to deliver my shopping. Every time, the staff fail to understand that a lemon is NOT a lime. I order limes and I get lemons. Still, it's a minor & amusing issue in reality.
In the past, they used to give me meat replacements for any veggie items that weren't available - either a joke on the picker/packer's part or a lack of understanding of vegetarianism. However, a quick phonecall and I'd get a refund and allowed to keep the meat items, which I'd pass on to my parents.
Once I got 3 large hams in my delivery which were obviously meant for someone else's order, and Tesco let me keep them free rather than sending someone round to pick them up. My parents were well-chuffed that week!
That kind of thing doesn't happen any more though as I opted for no bags, so I can see everything that's being unloaded from the trays (whereas before I'd just get bags full of shopping left on the floor when the guy delivered).
Also, if they can take your money, instantly, why can't they (and don't they) refund your money, instantly.
I phoned up Tesco to complain that the frozen pizza I bought from them had no toppings - it was just a pizza base - it was meant to be a Margherita (cheese/tomato).
After 20 minutes of speaking to several hierarchical managers to escalate the problem, I realised I'd opened the box upside down.
