Tesco make another customer feel bad... this time she's 74 years old. Nice one Terry. ~ Tesco-Complaint

Tesco make another customer feel bad... this time she's 74 years old. Nice one Terry.

On the 29th Match 2007 I had an unfortunate incident where, through no ones fault, I had a spillage on a pair of trousers in the Tesco Branch at Nailsea. The matter was dealt with efficiently and courteously by Customer Care who made a record of the incident on their computer - I was told that I didn't need a record as it would be stored on their computer - told to take the trousers to be dry-cleaned, return with the receipt and I would be reimbursed.

On the 2nd April 2007 at approximately 3.15 pm I returned to the Nailsea Branch with my receipt making a round trip of 10 miles, unfortunately, no record of the incident could be found. The Duty Manager who dealt with the query decided that I should be reimbursed for the dry-cleaning but when I asked for mileage was rather dismayed.
She did suggest £2 but I was not happy with this and 32p per mile was agreed upon.

The reason I am writing to you is that I was far from happy with the way I was dealt with by the duty Manager. She ignored me until negotiations for mileage came up and I felt I was being a nuisance. I am a loyal Tesco Customer, 74 years old, who can ill-afford to pay for unnecessary petrol money. If the young lady in question hopes to progress up the management ladder at Tesco's she needs to improve her customer relation technique.

What if an accident like this happens when you are miles from home? I am sure, if the matter was recorded correctly on the computer arrangements could be made with your local stores. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter

What?

Driving 10 miles costs about £1 whats wrong with 20p that's double!

Or you could have walked, gods knows what you were doing with a 10 mile round trip. I live in Long Ashton (5 miles away) theres a dry cleaners in Nailsea center within walking distance from Tescos.

10 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To get paid travelling expenses is quite unique and almost unheard of. Despite how it was dealt with, the outcome is very much in your favour.

What?

A 10 mile round trip to go back to the store. Well why didn't you just go there the next time your shopping?

Or are you one of those hardly ever goes there but very loyal sort of customers?

Perhaps the your lady in question doesn't needs to improve her customer relation technique and you actually be more realistic.

"If the young lady in question hopes to progress up the management ladder at Tesco's" Why do you assume she does? And is this just because she has some common sense and doesn't through money at people?

This poor elderly lady has been treated appallingly by tesco and should have been given a £50 gift voucher for her inconvienience. thats what a good supermarket such as Netto would do.

A £50 gift voucher for as she says "unfortunate incident where, through no ones fault, I had a spillage on a pair of trousers in the Tesco Branch at Nailsea."

Hmm

No, for her appalling treatment after the incident. £50 is a bare minimum that she should be offered. I know that Netto would offer her at least this, so tesco should do also.

netto offered a customer this once before and would do so again i dont see why tesco have to act differently.

Yeah, you were lucky to be offered £2 other stores would have laughed in your face and only paid the dry-cleaning bill!

And what the hell is Netto?

Netto is the best supermarket in the UK judged on its outstanding customer service incredible value for money and the fact that there are less than 4 complaints for every 750 million transactions.

There really is nothing like completely unfounded "facts" such as those spouted by Netto nutta.

I fyou have proof of, well, anything you have said here, please share it with us. If not, we'll just keep on laughing at you. You moron.

Anonymous said...

i can get proof of course to back up my claims, just you wait and see mate. Will it convince you to shop at your local Netto?

Unknown said...

Nope, and surprise surprise, that's because there isn't one within twenty miles of me. So to save the environemnt, and because I actually have no problem with shopping there, I'll stick with Tesco.

Why do you feel Tesco owe you anything, when, by your own admission, the accident was "no ones fault"?

If they have so many transactions why have I never heard of it and I'm not the only one, theres a few "whats Netto"'s here.

I take ti they seem to be like Aldi/Lidl from reading here which don't have cafes so how do you know they'd give out £50 for a case like this?

they sponser the burger vans outside the stores though.

Why have Tescos complaint found a royalty free photo of a smilely innocent looking old woman and not used a photo of a grumpy old bat?

BUT!

"The Duty Manager who dealt with the query decided that I should be reimbursed for the dry-cleaning but when I asked for mileage"

How do you define ignore?

Are you sure your telling the truth? This doesn't seem very consistant.

Petrol costs around 15p a mile, therefore 10 miles = £1.50, But your not happy with £2!

You are unreasonable arn't you!

AbstractWe report the crystallisation of three forms Yeezy Discount of the copper(II) isonicotinate N oxide complex and their New Jordan Shoes 2020 phase interconversion via solvent mediated crystal to crystal Coach Outlet transformation. The different forms of the copper complex have been isolated and characterised by single crystal X ray diffraction. Coach Handbags Clearance Gel phase crystallisation performed in hydrogels, low molecular weight gels and gels of a Coach Outlet Store tailored gelator showed Yeezy Boost 350 crystal habit modification.

Visually, the new setting is a breath of fresh air from the usual constraints of New York City government offices, and it's nice to see Chuck in a different mode. Unclear where they land, but they couldn't pass up an opportunity to take some cheap Ray Ban Glasses Ray Ban Outlet shots at Yale Law students.Even the introduction of Julianna Margulies can't inject some much needed adrenaline into the show, though the former "The Good Wife" star certainly has no trouble pulling off the Yale Law professor thing. Beyond selling that idea, she really doesn't have much to work with, delivering stolid "jokes" like "I'm honestly surprised it took one of you so long to mention privilege." Her gentle ribbing of Chuck seems to presage a flirtation of some sort, and it's painfully obvious that her character is being floated as a Wendy replacement who can hold her own in a court of law.
