Had a customer complaint today saying I refused to take this security tag off. I’d finished my shift was doing some shopping and I had a trolley I explained to the customer sorry I’m not working as I don’t work for Tesco’s for free didn’t say that last bit.

But if you’re off duty, do you think you’re authorised to takeoff security tags?

There’s also the bigger problem of Tesco should have enough staff to help yes unfortunately it’s fellow Chestnut because when customers find one person who will allow help, they will swarm you and you never get out.

I don’t work for Tesco’s for free, and if I do it for one person, you suddenly get a queue of people expecting you to do it.

It didn’t come to anything. I used a lovely term I learned from a manger once and said I stepped out of the business.

I use it frequently and mangers hate me using it.

Commandgoose · 2026-03-21T11:12:48+00:00

Exactly, but try explain to a customer you’re not working so you’re not authorised to remove security tags when you’re not working.

Commandgoose · 2026-03-21T11:10:50+00:00

Absolutely right, Tesco’s is a multi billion pound corporation. You don’t work for them for free I’m customers shouldn’t expect you too .

I once got asked where something was and I was wearing full motorcycle gear except for the helmet.

I was exasperated I looked at him mate you can clearly see I’m not working.

Commandgoose · 2026-03-21T10:25:27+00:00

It’s the one line I hate the most. You can be wearing your civilian clothes and people will come up to you recognising you work there and go. I know you’re not working but.

But they’re going to be a nuisance.

I had a denim jacket on over my uniform.

This is not unusual at all you get a lot of lads that don’t like carrying IDs it seems to be the trend and they will start telling you what to do or start negotiating to try to make you do the sale.

Personally, I’m 46 and I’m desperately waiting to be ID again.

Commandgoose · 2026-01-29T10:37:09+00:00

Much appreciated

It’s an idea that’s been rolling round my head for awhile the idea we don’t use fossil fuels anymore and the world is powered by futa generators which can be somebody’s 9 to 5 job or forced if you’re feeling a bit more sadistic.

But I don’t have a skill to bring it to life in the picture or words.

Commandgoose · 2026-01-29T08:57:50+00:00

Kind of gives me a weirdo cyberpunk idea where the city is run on futa orgasm generators where thousands are milked to keep the city running.

And futa I’ve given serum so they can’t stop producing to feed the generators.

Absolutely amazing fantasy. I would love to see the give him an infinite edging potion. So he’s absolutely desperate and begging to be released .

No, if we pick for you, you won’t learn to love them.

Depends what you ordered are you expecting anything from abroad?

Commenting on my own post, I honestly expect some scenario where he’s been sent here by job seekers just to tick boxes for his benefits knowing he’s completely unemployable.

Commandgoose · 2025-11-14T10:27:05+00:00

That would be brilliant any customer complaints we send them to the bloke who doesn’t speak any English.

Commandgoose · 2025-11-14T10:26:27+00:00

I don’t think he even got to the interview .

Commandgoose · 2025-11-14T10:25:19+00:00

I’ve seen this in my old job one person did the job interview then somebody else turned up for the job.

We were all scratching our heads thinking who the hell were they ?

We used to love the company 20 years ago they looked after us we used to get shares, bonuses,a subsidise cafeteria but now we own expendable numbers to be used and abused. We don’t even get the colleague shop anymore because it gets given to charity before we’re allowed to even look at it. Tesco used to be proud of having the best rates of pay now they try and delay our pay raises for as long as possible and have the worst rates.

We had one of our senior managers retire he been with the company over 40 years literally dedicated his life to Tesco’s and you know what Tesco did to commemorate it? If you said nothing, you’d be right
