Haven't heard of Tesco cancelling like that before although a friend's husband did go for a job as a driver of the home delivery vans. He resigned after the first day. The orders weren't ready when he was supposed to have delivered them. He was supplied with no maps or directions and couldn't find many of the addresses. This is someone with excellent local knowledge too! Luckily we live 10 mins walk away from our nearest Tesco so only the major shop has to be done by car and they are open 24 hours so we are rarely caught without anything.
On a positive note - on Tuesday while in the store I went through a doorway and hit my foot very hard on a protruding barrier (We have just been refurbished). It was sticking 6" into the doorway. I went to the desk and informed them that it needed to be removed before someone had a more serious accident. I took the girl down to the doorway and showed it to her. She said she'd get maintainance onto it. Well, I was fine till 3 hours later when my foot went (we think) into spasms and I couldn't walk or even put weight on my foot at all so a trip to the next town to A&E was called for. There was no fracture but painkillers and rest prescribed. On the way home (10.35pm) we called in at Tesco to let them know what had happened as it needed to be put in their accident book and I wanted to be sure they would remove the barrier. When we took the duty managed to show him the barrier it had gone! So full marks to Tesco for removing it so promptly. The next day they sent flowers, chocolates (Thorntons!) and a gift voucher as a good will gesture. My foot has improved rapidly and I'm back at work but an elderly person could have had a nasty fall on top of the bruising. Off to work now - then to Tesco for milk as DD" has drunk it all leaving just enough for morning coffee!! Lynne.
