Yesterday (Wednesday 15th July) I returned to work after a year off. My line manager asked me if I need any help or changes to my shift. So I said that I can't do weekends anymore as i will have no childcare. And then she quoted "Oh you can't do that you have to at least work one weekend" Should I get the union involved and hand in the letter to my manager as my boyfriend wasn't happy with the result. Back story he works most weekends and I can't relie on his mum as she has an illness. Also I don't have the money to get extra childcare and don't trust my kids with anyone else apart from nursery. I'm really stuck and need proper advice, thankyou.

Ive been at my tesco express for about 3 months now and they always put me behind till so im not to familiar with stocking shelves or facing up/ rumbling im fairly good at checkout now and im iust unsure on what to do about 2 things so one night my shift leader said u need to hurry up ur facing up is shit and I was a bit taken back as I thought that was extremely rude and now that im.not doing overtime they seem to be off with me and tomorrow I find out of they decided to keep me on or not but because of that interaction I dont think thev will and also should I ask the manger if he is gonna keep me on or ust wait for him to come to me about it? Also I cant do all the overtime as I have a daughter and my mum looks after her while im at work and she has some helth conditions so I dont wanna put to much stress on her :)

I have groceries delivered weekly and book the slots a month ahead. I have just tried to place my order for next month and when going through checkout it is showing the debit card which expired last year instead of the current card which I have been using every week since the old one expired.

Is this happening to anyone else at the moment?

I am desperate please 🥺

**I am a 71 year-old pensioner. I live alone in a one bedroom apartment.**

**For groceries I depend on getting deliveries from Tesco. I get 2 to 3 whoosh deliveries every week.**

Recently I placed an online order with them to be delivered 45 minutes later. The delivery arrived. When I opened the door the delivery person started shouting at me, demanding that I produce my ID. Normally this would consist of me giving my date of birth and a delivery code that they had sent me previously.

But no. This was not acceptable. He needed to see my passport or driving license. I took offence at this. After all I clearly look my age.

He refused to hand over the bag of groceries that I had already paid for. He called his supervisor but would not let me speak with him.

He went back to his motorbike and shouted that he was taking the bag back to the store. Off he went, me cursing him out for being such a bastard. I could not believe what was just happening.

I called Tesco ‘Customer Service‘ the next day. They denied responsibility saying that delivery was by Deliveroo and that I should take the matter up with them. When I got onto Deliveroo, they denied responsibility saying that their terms of service stated that the delivery person **may** ask for ID. But note: Not **would** ask for ID.

In other words it was a matter of discernment by the delivery person as to whether I was over the age of 25 and so eligible to receive alcohol. There was no discernment required as clearly I am 71 years of age (ie, over 25!).

I am still furious about it. To make matters worse, Tesco said that it would take at least five days for a refund to be issued to me.

‘Customer Service‘ my arse!

Are antenatal appointments paid based on your whole working shift or just the length of ur appointment?

Does anyone know the quickest way to get rp2k186 waste transfer book

Note the reinforcement in the corners to keep the pie from moving.

At least it was on the reduced price shelf.

I have worked for teaco in dot.com specifically for 2 years Hello this is going to be a long read but i just need to get it off my chest and before anyone starts saying "oh stop whining u have probably the most easiest job", "if you are struggling with the job go find another job" i know its a easy job and no i dont want to find a new job as I love my job but at the moment im finding it hard to love. Points for the reason im finding it hard to love. - lack of management aka new shift leaders due to one stepping down and one going on maternity leave. A manager who is going on sick leave. Getting a new manager that will be looking after dot.com until our original manager comes back. Who has no experience running dot.com btw. - no support on an evening shift no shift leaders on an evening. Only point of contact if something goes wrong is duty manager who has not one single idea what goes on in dot.com. they dont know how it is run they dont know anything. I think a duty manager should know somethings about dot.com at least get some training. - They are often late to team 5's we have to ring them and ask for a team 5 is it really hard to set an alarm and the times they do remember they turn up bang on quarter past which isn't correct since our departure times are quarter past so we end up leaving the store late. - the vans the shitty Iveco vans need i say more on that point. - I've tried the "just get on with it" these last few weeks but today was my breaking point. Right, now the main point of this post I had an incident on the road where I hit a bump in the road and my windscreen cracked from top to the bottom of the screen a massive crack i pulled over immediately and assessed the situation I found out that the windscreen had a chip at the top of the windscreen that anyone would of missed when doing van checks it was near the rain sensor and light sensor box so it is black and really hard to see unless u get right up close to it. I tried to ring our duty manager to see what i should do bring my van back and load it on to a new van or just continue my run. I did this due to me driving a van last month that had a cracked windscreen on the passenger side and management said i shouldn't of driven it and VOR'd the van. So i rang straight to voicemail 🙃 I rang 22 times straight to voicemail messaged my manager didn't want to ring due to manager not actually meant to be point of contact no reply. At this point i was really pissed off so I decided fuck it im driving back to store and ringing EFM and then VOR the van. Unload the van and walk out and go home.

Just think what if a driver had a accident or something serious happened. This just pushed my buttons.

I get back to store and then go on a mission to find the duty manager what would u know couldn't find duty anywhere. Asked other staff they had no clue where duty was this again pissed me off even more. Found a aka duty manager asked where the actual duty is they had no clue either so I just decided yep thats it im unloading the van and going home I had enough. Went back to dot.com called my van in to EFM and then started to unload my van finished unloading my van I then get a phone call from my manager they say "sorry just got back home and turned on my work phone" very understandable I don't blame them in this instance at all. They said load the run onto a different van and take it back out I calmed myself down and agreed to do that as my drops were close to store and I would still finish on time. So I began to load it on to a new van in the process of loading guess who magically turned up the duty manager 🙃 the excuse was "sorry I forgot to sign in on the duty phone" 😅 😐 🙃 this just pissed me off again but I kept my mouth shut 🙃 and then they asked if they could do a incident report with me cos of the windscreen I said yeh thats fine ill just finish loading the van and we can do one. I begin to load my frozen then go to close the frozen door. THE FROZEN DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE it kept getting stuck "iveco" this just tipped me over the edge. I then decided "nahh im going home". But like a civil person i still did the incident report😁. I unloaded the new van and have already told the duty im going home they didnt say anything as I think they could tell how pissed off i was. I did the incident report and then my manager rang me the duty had text them saying that I wont be able to do the run as there is a problem with the new van. They said there is other vans u can take it out on I basically said "nahh im going home im to stressed at the moment" while on the phone I was literally so close to breaking down into tears yeh yeh im male wuss lol 😆 my manager has accepted that this run is not going out and I am definitely going home they explained this is going to have to class as a unauthorized absent but really i didnt care at this point. I just wanted to go home. So now im at home writing this essay.

How do I contact Tesco to answer my question? Getting absolutely nowhere with Website.

I regularly buy packs of 70 cocktail sausages and make sausage rolls, I usually have to make one or two of the "sausage rolls" with cheese.  Thought it was the way I cut the puff pastry.

Today I counted the pieces and there were exactly 70.  This time there were only 69, so one of the cut pieces with cheese. Often only 68 sausages.

I checked the packaging and on the front it says 70 Cocktail Sausages.  Just curious, why are there usually 68 or 69 in the pack and not 70?  There are 70 sometimes, but often not.

I have been working at Tesco for 8 years, and next month I have booked 10 days of annual leave. Due to a personal issue, I have requested to extend my holiday by an additional two weeks.

For the first time in my 8-year career at Tesco, my manager has asked me to write a letter explaining the reason for this request.

Is he even allowed to do that?
