Following Mr UPVC's kind mention of discounted compact fluorescents at Tesco I thought I'd detour past my nearest one today to see if they had any stock.
It's been closed for ages for a total rebuild so thought I'd check first to see if it was open again:
- Website says yeeeey, these are our opening hours but please check with the store, number given.
2.1. Call store, are you open? Yep, sure are.
2.2. Ooh great, when did it reopen after the refurb? 2.3. You know, has it been a month, a few days, what? 2.4. Oh yeah, we just reopened last week. 2.5. Great, thanks for the help, see you tomorrow.
- Detours past store to check today and the place is still a building site, security fenced, no access, building not even closed to the elements.
In summary, web site wrong, call centre op (as it turned out) lied through his teeth and Tesco don't give a flying f'ck.
So, I'd like to nominate Tesco for the supermarket shit list this week.
Any other nominations?
