  • Liverpool Weekend (Day One) – Nothing Wrong with a Meal Deal

    Liverpool Weekend (Day One) – Nothing Wrong with a Meal Deal

    20230908_230547

    I only mention this meal deal that I got from Tesco because Bev seemed to find it the height of hilarity the next day. But, as I’ve mentioned, she doesn’t get out much and she’s gone through a lot of physical trauma so I’m not sure sometimes that she’s mentally all there. Gordon mentioned that she often sits cackling watching videos of people falling over, but anyway, I won’t gossip further on this blog. Steve and I meandered into the Tesco in just enough time, as they announced they were closing.

    I won’t mention a certain friend’s name as he might not be humoured by my ‘witty’ prose, but I managed to stomp (privately only obviously, I’m British) in a manner that I think he would have been impressed by when I discovered the lack of prawn mayo sandwiches and the lack of Skips. But, I was pleased with what transpired to be my midnight snack, it had been a long day and it was inevitably going to be a long Saturday as well.

    Well, pleased until I discovered there were no spoons in the hotel room and I had to fashion a fork out of paper. Slightly sub-optimal, but I’m not one for complaining.

  • Tesco – One-Way Systems

    Tesco – One-Way Systems

    And another in my series of completely irrelevant posts.

    But I wondered why Tesco contacted me last week when I filled in a customer survey (I wanted the Clubcard points….) saying their one-way system pushed people together and made things worse. I’ve wondered why they ever did this, it means if there’s a staff member working in a small Tesco Express then they route every single customer by them, rather than letting them walk down a parallel aisle to give the staff member some space. Today, obviously based solely on my feedback (well, I like to think so, and I can dream….) the one-way system is being scrapped in every store.

    Anyway, enough about irrelevant things. Well, for the moment.
