I am trying to find Jamaican spicy beef patties, and have found out that a certain manufacturer sells them in selected Tesco branches. I thought it would be a simple matter of going on Tesco.com and searching for my nearest stockist. That would be far too easy..... If you want this information, you must register first. Ok, I don't really want to register but for the sake of my needs, I will do it. So I start the registration process and find that I can only register if I sign up for a "clubcard". Loyalty cards just happen to be a pet hate of mine. I don't want tracked and my shopping habits monitored for evermore, and I can't be bothered to carry little plastic cards around with me. I know I can always bin it once it is delivered, but I really don't want one. Why can't they understand that? I DON'T WANT one of your nasty little cards which I need to spend £mega in order to save buttons, OK?!!! So I will go try Sainsburys now....

Whilst we're on the subject of Sainsburys, my local one just swapped out the perfectly good covered sheffield stand for a row of those awful wheel bender style stands. This was supposedly an improvement to go along with the in-store refurbishment.
Not only do these stands damage wheels, but make it incredibly difficult to use a D-lock to lock up the frame, and encourage less experienced cyclists to lock up their bikes by the front wheel only. The number of bikes I see there locked up only by the front quick release wheel is painful.

Tell them!
The majority of our racks at work were wheel benders. I emailed the works dep outlining what was wrong with them and what they needed to be replaced with. I was flabbergasted a few weeks later when the wheel benders were replaced with Sheffield stands!

It's become a bit of a ritual for me at my local Iceland. Without fail they ask me whether I have a bonus card and then they ask me whether I want one even if it's one of the staff that recognise me. I now tend to simply say ''Hello, no and no'' with a smile. And yet they still have to ask me. Because it's not what the customer wants, really, it's what management want.

Whilst we are moaning about Tesco's, I visited today at about 17:45 to do my weekly shop and there were 3 bloody tills open...........3!!!!!!! There are about 25 all told in the shop, why bother fitting them out! They always then do the obligatory "Red Call to Check Outs" over the tannoy, once the queues are effectively blocking the aisles completely, to which about 1 person idles up to help every time!

It's all gone a bit pear-shaped for Tesco lately. Have had issues with their computer system, arguments with complaints dept. and then they started selling horse-burgers.
It's (almost) enough to make me want to join the yummy mummies and shop at W41tr053.
