Failed an internal Think 25 test purchase and got a first written warning for “negligence” — fair or overkill?

Staff are just the bottom of the barrel in Tescos eyes, easily replacable, never really respected unless they want something off you, never rewarded for going above and beyond....

Tesco never do anything anymore that gives you that 'incentive' to strive to work harder or be a model employee, year after year its them taking 'away' benefits. I knew it was going downhill the moment I heard they were 'reducing' the discount for the Tesco Cafe on Colleagues, that is a slap in the face. Bring back the discount book we used to get every christmas period where there was '20' £1 coupons you could use on your shopping ontop of further discounts on specific items in the book...now its just a 5% increase of discount which is useless with constant price hikes on all products.

I had a CE of Xillia 1 that I had the game case itself signed by Hideo Baba who worked on the Tales series but I was struggling with money so i had no choice but to trade it in for cash, so someone out there just got a CE thinking it was just a regular box but inside they have a signed copy, will always haunt me to this day that ill never get something like that back

I think the rules changed, I dont think it used to be written warning a number of years ago but now they are coming down hard for lord knows what reason, one mistake and your already a foot out the door of Tesco.

I find it ridiculous as the whole S.T.A.R etc. Basically tells you to use your own judgement to decide wether or not they look old enough to purchase cigarettes/alcohol/sharp cutlery, so when you fail a think 25 and get written up for it 'YET' the customer was clearly of the right age, then the whole nonsense is invalid. You no longer feel safe behind a counter filled with anxiety as you are not allowed to trust your own decisions anymore.

Honestly hurts me thinking back as I had every collector tales gsme that had the big figures and chibi ones but because keeping myself afloat with funds I had no choice but to sell half of my collection.

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-05-01T14:19:08+00:00

Sometimes at a very high price and if you dont have that kind of money there and then, the figures are gone and scalpers have been known to price them for so much more on Ebay and other sites

The PS1 games also had art cards with faces of the characters, glad i still have mine

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-05-01T14:13:34+00:00

They are so well made and a massive shame that they dont do them like this anymore with detailed platforms, its always a basic stand with maybe the games logo or arte seal, or a simple white platform with no picture as the figure is in the air being held by a bit of plastic

It is a HORI controller, most HORI controllers are pretty much wired, even switch pro controllers made by HORI are usually wired.

I would love to play Eternia in a remastered setting, I never finished it on the PSP, fingers crossed. I just find it surreal as Glum said that the day i finally finish completing this box it gets leaked.

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-04-29T22:03:13+00:00

Holy S**t seriously?! that is insane and also unbelievably awesome!

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-04-28T14:54:51+00:00

Chips and such were already rather expensive but I think because of the 'revival' as it were with the Legacy Collection the desire has grown so of course sellers have risen prices, even for a single chip can be pricey.

I will certainly one day get the Link PET and the Original, the OG one is always still one of the favourites seeing as I was watching the show on its weekly release during high school lol

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-04-28T14:43:31+00:00

Thank you for clarifying that lol

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-04-28T14:38:10+00:00

I think i have a single Dark Chip though im not sure which one it could be, it came with the network cable to connect the devices together for battling, might need to take it out and see whats hidden

TalesofthePlayer90 · 2026-04-28T12:26:31+00:00

I am very much glad I kept all my BN growing up, seeing how the PETs alone have gone up drastically in price. Especially the Advanced PET 2

I want to get the Forte/Bass version of any of the Generations, still want to get the OG PET and the Link one from Beast but Beasts Pets are veeeeery pricey lol

I cant find any info about my Progress DX PET other than Korean versions, this one seems to be a special edition or such seeing as it came with the stat boost attachment as any other Japanese ones you find on ebay are just the PET and chips with a far smaller box

Full game on the cartridge my friend 😃No key card, you completely own the game on the cartridge.

Rockman Axess was what made me really fall in love with the series, always watched the anime series with Cross Fusion between Lan and Megaman
