Tesco's - 4th rant

For those of you who have been following my 'rants' you will know that I HATE Tesco's??!!

I only shop at Tesco's because there is no other supermarket nearby.

Anyway this is my 4th Tesco RANT.  And RANT I am going to do.

Went to Tesco - Bought 3 trashy magazines, bread & milk, and 2 bottles of wines well it would have been rude not to!!!

Went to the check out for hand baskets.  One person in the queue in front of me.  That's fine - I can cope with one person in front of me in the queue.  I was quite happy to wait until the person in front of me had been served.  After all the max no. of items one can take through the hand held baskets check out is 10.

.............And actually the person in front of me only had a pizza!  One pizza?!  I was more than happy to wait in the queue while 'Mrs One Pizza' was served.

Would Tesco staff let me do that?  They would not.

The conversation went a bit like this:

Tesco employee - 'Would you like to come over to the self service tills?'

Me - 'No - I hate them. I don't know how to use them'.

Tesco employee - 'I'll put your shopping through for you'.

So over to the self service till I went, even though I didn't want to.  Handed my basket to Tesco Employee.

I had my own bag because I am a very 'environmentally aware' shopper.

So Tesco employee put my shopping through the self service scanner and I tried to put it in my shopping bag but apparently I can't just hold my shopping bag.  My shopping bag was not in the 'bagging area'.  So I put it in the 'bagging area' but there must have been some sort of problem because a strange automated voice kept saying, 'blockage in the bagging area, blockage in the bagging area'.  Tesco employee took my bag off me, put it in the 'bagging area', re-scanned my pint of milk, loaf of bread, trashy magazines and 2 bottles of wine........................  And then spent 5 mins showing me where to put my money and clubcard??!!

Meanwhile 'Mrs One Pizza' had left hours ago OK slight exaggeration & two other people had gone through the hand held basket till. 

I'm furious!!!!! 

I HATE self service tills.  I don't want to use them and it annoys me that supermarkets don't want to offer a 'real live service'.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........................  I'm sure I'll be ranting more about Tesco's!!!!
