Tesco next down the pan?

[Ecosse]

Need to be uber careful ordering online with Tesco.
Either they are having a giraffe, or the product/pricing web drongos need a boot up the curry pipe..
Put in an order today for over £97.00's worth...about 4 weeks worth for this house's proteins and frozen items.
I found 3 products at X price...a bit cheaper than I know is the usual. One was Sharwoods Korma ready sauce.. They are actually OK-ish for a quick meal.
Ordered 2@£1.50 per.
Some time later in my process, there they are again in a different section.
Clubcard Price 95p. WTF?
Anyhow...ordered 4 instead.

Clear your tosco cookies and complete your ordering asap, happened to us this morning when placing a click and collect order, I cancelled the order cleared cookies logged back in, re ordered as fast as possible and lop and behold out order ( max 45 items at our store , why ?? ) came out 7.85 cheaper with some items now appearing with speshul clubcard prices.
I hope you get all 4 .

Well several workers at our store, including me, have received isolation instructions from the NHS track and trace because some leperous person decided to go shopping while covid positive.

Best of luck, hope it comes to nothing. You & your colleagues have been stars.

Next one down the pan sees to be Paperchase:
Paperchase on the brink of administration - BBC News

I recall them allowing themselves to be bullied into withdrawing a deal of some sort with The Daily Mail

Yes thanks, Tesco has been very good with that.

I forgot to mention that the first of the Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies went on the shelves at our store last Sunday.

Thank the gods. The one thing we are short of right now is chocolate!

We currently have 120 off from our store with mandatory self isolation. Most of them Nepalese.

30 of them decided to have an unauthorized sit down meal in the break room. unfortunately one was covid positive and it cascaded through on track and trace.

Consequently the rest of us are working stupid hours.

Disciplinary action against the Nepalese? Certainly not, that would be racist.

Do they sell chocolate bunnies at the Portland store?

Sorry don't know, my phone app only lets me check stock in other stores in a 30 Mile radius.

So the Nepalese, have they been sent home, or sent HOME?

There was a story in local news the other day that a local town is hoping to revive its fortunes by having a supermarket built. The thinking is that it will increase the number of people visiting the town from the local area. I presume that the store is being put in a fairly central location and not out of town.

Which from everything i have heard, and seen in our village, will quicken the demise of the small retailer in the supermarkets immediate vicinity, a vicious circle. Catch 22.

Indeed, Stalham in Norfolk used to have a livestock market, two banks and a varied selection of shops.
Now the market is Tesco, the banks have both gone and there are 7+ hairdressers and at least as many charity shops.
There are still small local shops but it just isn't what it was.

How can a bloke acquire two Tesco Online accounts using very similar email addresses, and three, count them, THREE Clubcards???

I'm only asking as I seem to have done exactly that. I must have the short-term memory of a sodding goldfish.

Still, got nine pounds fifty in unspent vouchers which convert to three times that in things I can buy with said vouchers, so things aren't too bad.
