Purchased a cup of tea and a cake from the cafe at your Bishop Ukland store. Couldn't find any white sugar so asked at the counter onnly to be told the cafe had run out! Why couldn't the cafe get a bag from the shop floor? Very lazy and very poor customer service.

I made an online purchase, to be delivered on Sunday. It was never delivered, I called customer service, they apologized, they refunded the shipping costs and told me that between 3 and 5 days they would refund the amount to my current account. In my Clubacard app it appeared as delivered. On Friday, and because they didn't refund my money, I wrote to the customer service WhatsApp, and they texted me that in the deposit they forgot to make the refund, I complained because 5 days had already passed, and they told me that they would make the refund this same day. The day after, without a refund, I wrote again, and they tell me that I have to wait 3 to 5 more days. What rubbish company is this?. this is a robbery, no other supermarket charges you for a purchase until you receive it, and Tesco does it, bill you for the purchase, or keeps your money unless you claim it.

I should’ve received my delivery on the 4th of January which had a lot of essentials. After way too many phone calls and wasted time, they promised to deliver it later that day. It never came. It now feels like I’m dealing with scammers as I can’t even get a refund at all. I’ve already switched to asda and its been way too difficult to even try and get a refund.

Awfully rude driver yell at me because I am disabled and live on the 2nd floor. She shouted and upset me terribly. Then suddenly she turned around and took all my grocery back to the van leaving me in tears and without food. Awful treatment of clients especially disabled and vulnerable!

Had a click and collect slot booked for 2-3pm. Eventually got my order at 3.55pm. Waited from 2.15pm. Queues around the car park and staff bringing out one order at a time. Absolutely awful. And you have the cheek to charge me £1.50 to collect the order myself. The staff were polite but someone should have oversight on what is gdpisning

Hi I went to your store today so this wasnt a home delivery but i really wanted to find the time to give a 5***** review. I must say it was a pleasure, you had plenty of floor staff, regardless of where I went there was someone there to help. Your food selection was amazing and appeared to be a very high standard. All cashiers were working which created less ques, service was fast and very friendly and helpful. The cashier was so lovely and bent over backwards to help me she even got up out of her seat to help me pack. This made a change compared to other food stores I have shopped in. You deserve the business. Thank you x

Grocery order never arrived. Constantly fobbed off by different members of staff. Today is Tuesday and my order for Saturday had already been cancelled due to 'unforseen circumstances'. Someone clearly has a crystal ball. I pay a monthly fee to have my groceries delivered and in addition I'm having to pay for 'click and collect' and a taxi to get my shopping home. This is all after having worked a long shift. The reason I use the delivery service is because I work long hours and I do not drive.

Tesco Bletchley would not understand the words “customer service”. I was verbally abused at the till by the lady working on the next till along and when the manager came over, I call him a manager but he looked about 12, his attitude was even worse. They had the cheek to ban me from the shop because I argued back with the lady on the till. Nobody tried to talk to me or help out, no solutions were discussed! I was humiliated by the behaviour of both staff members in front of other customers which was very unprofessional and highly upsetting. This was not the first time I have been treated badly there, the staff obviously receive very little if no customer care training and they seem to have a really aggressive manner when asked simple questions. I would never recommend this branch to anybody. I personally will look for another supermarket to use from now onwards.

Any positive reviews about Tesco should NOT be trusted, since it is common knowledge that most of the public despise Tesco's and would far rather shop elsewhere if Tesco didn't so arrogantly deny them a choice by setting up in well loved landmarks. How many of us have seen a place where there has always been a well loved community groceries or community pub been forced out of business by Tesco so they can set up a pitch there instead? To further demonstrate the traditional contempt that Tesco have for their customers, they deilberately increased their prices by turning their metro stores into `Express' just to antagonise customers further. There were protests outside stores because of this shameless scam to rob the public, knowing full well that customers have nowhere else to shop nearby. They are constantly low on stock and often have cleared out entire isles, leaving it completely empty, so that customers have no other choice, but to pay more money for something more expensive. This is a typical policy by Tesco. They will deliberately hold back stock so that customers are forced to pay for more expensive alternatives. Former employees have confirmed this and that Tesco will look for every way to scam and rip off customers. Just ask any staff member for a product missing from the shelf. They'll tell you they have none in stock while pallet loads of the same product sit in storage. As for quality, try buying a loaf of bread from Tesco a few days before its sell by date, only to find that when you get it home, it is NOT fresh bread at all. That's because Tesco change the labels and deliberately put false dates on them. That loaf of bread has been sitting in the warehouse for days after unloading from the delivery truck. The boss of Tesco UK literally admitted to this overwhelming arrogance and contempt for customers when it was first announced that a cost of living crisis was on its way. He was the first to gloatingly announce that Tesco would be increasing its prices. No other supermarket did this. They're small stores are routinely badly managed and clausterphobic. They withdrew cash self service checkouts to force customers who pay by cash to stand in long queues, with only one or two open, causing customers to become frustrated at having to struggle to move. Again, this is done deliberately by Tesco to antagonise customers and cause tension. Even the staff aren't happy to work there as they always seem so utterly miserable or stressed out compared to other well known supermarket chains. UPDATE: Just popped out to Tesco and yet again, they have demonstrated their typical inconvenience to everyone. Now, they have moved all the self service checkouts and caused more lengthy queues, where could hardly move. I gave up and just left in disgust. Yet, these parasites had the audacity to remove the hot deli and cut back on almost everything and increase their prices sky high, not only more than every other supermarket chain, but to deliberately rub our noses in it, they increased the prices to more than they charge in their other stores where they deny customers a choice.

Awful experience, driver refused to delivered grocery order after arriving at flat and the best customer support would do is reschedule for four days later. Clearly no consequences for drivers failing to preform their duties, and no consideration for customers who have been let down. Shockingly poor across the board.

Without Prejudice. On the 4/10/2022, I believe I was purchasing a new pay as you go smart phone at Tescos Mobile store, London N12 0SH. When the phone box was bought out to me, I believe the phone box manufactures security seals were all ready broken (Pic 1) and most of the manufactures protective packaging bags were missing (Pic 3). On one of the sides of the phone box, its original manufactures label has been covered over with another label from Tescos, The label has a S/N, which matched up with the phone. Why is that label on that box? I believe the Tescos label was on the box for a refurbished or a returned phone and not for a new phone? (Pic 2) When the female staff person set up my phone, I hadn't actually touched it or seen it close up, but when I got home, I noticed the phone was covered in greasy finger prints and scratches and scuff marks particularly on the back. It was clear to me, I believe this phone was not a new phone! I bought the phone back lunch time the next day, 5/10/2022 and advised the same female staff person of all the issues and I advised and showed her the back of the phone was covered in greasy finger prints, scratches and scuff marks. (Pic 4) She acknowledged they were there, but advised she didn’t know how they got there and point blank refused to replace the used phone for a new one! I came back to the the Tescos Mobile store again on Saturday 8/10/2022, early lunch time to advised the same female staff person of my concerns about the phone previously been used and tried to show her the evidence, but I believe she and her two other colleagues ganged up on me and the male, accused me of being a chancer and through me out of the store like I was a common criminal. Please Note, I’m 72 year old disabled man! On the 19/10/2022 I believe the manager had gone to a lot of effort to try and discredit me, considering he was never in the store when I purchases the phone, etc. I wrote several letters of complaint to Tescos Mobile via there official complaint procedure on their website and their Facebook page, etc. I asked for the right to request to see the stores CCTV footage. I received several confusing replies from Tesco Customer Service and Tesco Mobile Customer Concerns Management Team. I received acknowledgement and some apologies from them all, but it appears that my concerns and request have been ignored. What does that tell you?
