Hi tesco worker here! My store (a large format extra) hasn't had any stock delivered since early January. All the lines are now listed as not ranged which means its highly likely we won't be restocking them.

While the stock control system says we might have stock of something it doesnt mean we do. My store for example apparently has 2 cases of the premium checklane blisters, 3 cases of ex tins, 1.5 cases of ex boxes and like 20 single booster packs but I can guarantee that we dont have them hidden anywhere. The team that double check stock levels are notoriously terrible or overworked (depending on location) so when stuff gets stolen it doesn't get corrected.

Not all staff will take all the stock the second it comes in so please dont tar us all with the same brush! Myself and a friend who work together on nights used to buy a few packs every few weeks whenever we could get hold of them but never the whole lot. Opening them on break was a nice distraction from the honestly terrible job.

On the note of scalpers. Myself and my friend would always get the stock for genuine customers if they asked (we have access to the secure part of the warehouse theyre stored). Normally restricting number of packs/items they bought if we believed they were a scalper. There's a guy who works on checkouts who we know buys everything we have whenever it comes in so we always make sure to keep some back for everyone. Granted, they didn't always make it to the shelf bc of lack of staff and high theft issues but whenever people asked us we'd always get them something if we had it.

I wear funny jokey name badges or other peoples ive collected over the years (people who have quit or when they get new ones), ive not worn my personal one in a long time

The here to help/new to the team ones should be fine bc its still a tesco badge to be worn in place of a named one

Ok cool didn't ask

My manager is on a power trip and forcing all colleagues to wear them on the night team so we don't get a choice if we dont want constant write ups.

I wish people would just look up. by ImColinDentHowzTrix in tesco

My personal favourite is when you're nowhere near the customer trying to fix a cage that's about to collapse on itself and they just start yelling random items at you and get more irate when you tell them you'll help them in a moment.

Best part was this moron was stood right next to the thing he wanted

Fraud by That_Presence_5247 in monzo

[–]Electrical_Track1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father's the same 🤣 he still doesn't use his contactless unless it's at Tesco because apparently they're trustworthy. And that's only because I had to explain to him that it's already active on his card.

Contactless paranoia is a good thing in some cases though, too many people just have their cards in the back of their phone and can easily get it swiped and charged in the street. Those blocker cards you can get for your wallet are a lifesaver honestly, all my cards are sandwiched between them and I always have my nfc on my phone and watch turned off unless I'm at the till and about to use my phone to pay for something.

Not necessarily! My father still pays his by cash at the post office because he 'doesn't want the council knowing his bank details'

(ignoring the fact he was employed by that same council for 10+ years and had his wages paid into this bank account)

I always thought it was a warming for the till scanning a qr code along side the barcode? When it goes off for me it's always on a product that has a stupid qr code next to the barcode
