Dem Tesco man be racist... (but me not)

My self and a friend (work-colleague), both of us of British -African/Caribbean origin. Were in the Tesco Metro store on Kingsland road North London, weds 8th aug, approx 5.50 pm. We are regulars to the store, especially as my friend has his own business situated around the corner, to the Tesco. To our annoyance, we found that the security guard (Indian) took it upon himself to follow us around the store. As if to say, 'I'll follow these two black guys, they look like thieves'. He was a bit too blatant, as he tried to make out that he was moving around shopping baskets. Me and my friend noticed what the security guard was doing and decided to complain to a manager. The manager of the store was eventually found. I took him round to face the security guard. Then we made known our grievance. The manager seemed to find the whole episode quite amusing-(he was grinning from ear to ear.) I let him know that I didn't find this incident amusing, but rather offensive. The manager explained that the security guard was 'just doing his job'. (Tesco's must have a racist policy then, of instructing their security to tail only, people of colour!) The security guard at this point told me to, 'Shut up!' Then the manager stepped between us, as if to keep the peace. As I mentioned my work colleague owns his own business around the corner. I myself am a freelance -writer. (We are NOT thieves and are fed up of being treated as such @ your store.) We have enough funds between us to go to court if needs be! We therefore want a written apology from BOTH the security guard and the store manager. We will be notifying the CRE and I may well document my 'TESCO experience' in some way using online media...(If the Indian security guard knew his history, he would know that Africans inhabited 'India' which means 'black', a long time before the people living there now, they come from African blood.)

Update: I've not had a reply to my email to Tesco. (The whole thing has started a furious debate online within the African community.) I and my work colleague have stopped our custom at all Tesco stores. If you aobserve Tues London Lite 14 aug page 4. You will see that the Met Police have stats to show that foreigners commit 20% of all London crime. TOP of the list are the POLISH!!!

Grow up! He is only doing his job. Talk about milking the race thing.

Another petty thing on this site, going downhill fast...

Why do you think he was singling out ONLY black people? The security guard is on duty for hours at a time and will study hundreds of people over the course of a day. You reckon he only studies the black ones? Give me a break.

Also, merely "watching" someone is NOT how a security guard would treat a thief, so stop claiming such!

I'm still awaiting from a reply from Tesco's. In the meantime the person that I am making the complaint about-has been given my mobile number. Last friday I was subjected to 'Hanish' continually ringing my mobile, in a threatening manner. So who gave the authorisation to give him MY number? I will be making a complaint to the Police about this. He SHOULD NOT have been given my number in the current situation.

I've just had Hanish ring me again up to 4/5 times-threatening me with, 'I'm not a racist you bastard!' He rang approx 16.05pm today. He rang again @ 16.18 pm, while I was in the Tescos store-talking to a security guard and management. He said that his name was Hanish and that he works for 'Total Security.' He had been working at the Kingsland road Tesco's for approx a week as cover. This is definitely a matter now for the Police.

You know, Im utterly fed up with this racist shite, the only people who are obviously racist is yourselves, live by our laws and rules,stop milking the system, this is our country (not yours) so go and behave or leave and go back to your own country, after all you are realy just a guest here and another one that at some point i have paid A LOT OF TAX FOR! Away and grow up, maybe we should all emigrate to your countries and shout racist! We would probably get murdered!
Im sick to tears of this whole ethnic thing! Live and let live m8

You know tesco don't even use "total security" its "Advance" (A.K.A Securiplan A.K.A Sabrewatch) So this leaves me to think of two things

1. Your a little racist against the Indian people (VERY LIKELY)
2. Your a little liar (AGAIN VERY LIKELY)
3. Both of the above (DEAD CERT)

So go cry to mummy

Tesco Ireland is the most racist group in Ireland. In Portlaoise Tesco, they don't say a Hello or Thank You, if you are an Asian or African. If it is a white skinned person the counter staff will treat them in a totally different way. We, the Asian community in Portlaoise has decided to avoid Tesco and promote stores like Dunnes and Lidl(they are far better in this matter).

We use Total Security at our Tesco Metro store...so that part can't be a lie. Can't comment on the other stuff though...

I have started another anti-tesco site / forum based on a rather negative experience

http://www.tescouncovered.com/forum/
get involved folks, the more the merrier.

I like the way tesco employ people to scour the internet for negative comment and pay them (minimum wage) to abuse people who are only making opinions known.

Step 1) ask for their SIA Number.
Step 2) report them to the SIA for failure of their licenced duty.
Step 3) Ask for the Managers Name - Store Manager not Duty Manager.
Step 4) Remind the manager that employing people who break their SIA Licence obligations attracts a fine of £5,000 or six months in prison.

A Security guard is someone who likes to wear a uniform. He has no right to detain or engage you unless you wish to be detained or engaged.
