Tescos rant.

Would never sign up for card, no matter how desperate!

I like the Tesco West Indian section, good selection of chili sauces and they stock Hypermalt beer at only .30p per 33cl bottle along with a full range of Old Jamaica pop, not just ginger beer, grape soda is ace! Pop & chili sauce are the only things I buy there, it is such a dispiriting retailer.

But not as dispiriting as Morrisons, who seem to fill their stores with "own brand" pap. I want to look at nice and familiar labels. Their stores always remind of a scene in "Repo Man" where the produce in a supermarket is identically wrapped and only distinguishable by a name.

My Sainbury's provides a decent shopping trip, the staff rarely change, the aisles are wider and the lighting doesn't make me wince.

Waitrose and Booths are much better but I can't afford to go regularly.

I stopped going to Tesco as most items were buy 3 for the price of 2 or buy 1 get 1 free (yeah). As I live on my own I only want one. GF works shifts so we rarely eat together.
Its Aldi now (I pass Waitrose on the way). Cheap, good quality. Cheap cycle gear (if your quick), Sheffield racks.
but you can not get everything you want.

( I have no connection to Aldi)

Or even better get an e mail address that last 10 mins and is then gone http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html

Genius! I used to set up an email alias for each 'thing' I had to sign up for, so I'd have tescos@webcaretakers.com, discountbulkbuyhabeneros@webcaretakers.com etc etc etc, that way you KNEW who was spamming you, even if they claimed they wouldn't.

Tescos keep a profile of every human being in the country, regardless of where they shop, age, sex or rank odour.

Brandane, just enter duff info and get the card sent to someone you don't like. Personally, I have an e-mail account that I use when companies I don't want knowing my details insist on contact info.

I tend to use f**koff@noseybastard.com for email registrations were I don't want to give them real details.

I was thinking of those that send you an activation link by e-mail
