Tesco Mobile Extra Sim Package "Simply the Best"

Advantages: Excellent Value for Money and easy to use
Disadvantages: None at present

...to go into a Tesco Store, I checked my coverage and it was found to cover almost 99% of the UK so I was happy with that, you always know that there are places you will not get a signal but hey thats life. Anyway I went up to Tesco and picked up of the shelf my PAYG Tesco Extra Sim Package which cost me wait for it the total sum of £2.48 what a bargain, then I paid for it at the till and asked where I could get a voucher to top the card up straight away, and to my astonishment I could get that at the till as well, so I paid £15 for my first top up and went over to the customer service counter to pick up the Tesco Extra Sim Packaged. easy so far, I then went home made sure my phone was unlocked, as I was keeping my phone there was no need to change my phone it was perfectly capable of still doing the job all I needed to do was change my...

Review of Tesco Extra Tariff

something Extra from tescos

Advantages: HUGE selection
Disadvantages: We need more 'extra' stores

...I live near the recently revamped Brookfield Centre store in Herts. The store used to bea regular, all be it large, Tescos store but has recentyl undergone major works to double the size of this store. It is now one of the new batch of Tesco Extras, which basically means that you can more or less go there and do everything and buy everything you would need to. The instore reception is huge and iwll pretty much be able to help you with or assist with anythign you may need. In addition they will provide information ont he local area, including providing driving directions. The pharmacy is superb with resident doctors and the opticians seem to be able to book you in for an appointment that day. The instore cafe also has an internet cafe, but the food offered in this area is superb. Hot, cold, snacks or meals everything is...

Extra special value 44p for Tesco's Style Muesli,.

Advantages: A low priced, good quality product
Disadvantages: Unsuitable for nut allergy sufferers

...Review of Tesco Value Swiss Style Muesli The Product This muesli is from the Tesco Value range, a range of basic grocery and household items, produced for Tesco Stores, with a minimum of packaging and with economy in mind. I have enjoyed muesli type cereals for many years and when I spotted this addition to the Tesco Value range, I just had to try it. The muesli is presented in a recyclable cardboard box, instantly recognisable as Tesco Value with it's bold red strip across the middle of the box and the Tesco logo in blue, red and white. The box bears a picture of a generously filled breakfast cereal bowl, full of the muesli. Nutritional values and weight (750g) are found at the bottom right of the packaging front and back. Further information, such as a more detailed nutritional info, Tesco contact data, ingredients...

Review of Tesco Value Swiss Style Muesli

Tesco extra Gallians Reach

Advantages: Reward points
Disadvantages: spend too much

...I have shopped in tesco's before but have not really thought of it as the place to shop......until now. At the beginning of september my life was changed. I have been shopping at another local supermarket for years and thought i would give our New Tescos Extra a go seeing as i had got some money off coupons through the post for the opening of the store and a promise of free beans on toast. What a store, what a choice, what a car park. I have never seen a supermarket so big and so well planned out. The car park is huge with plenty of parent/child parking (which makes life a whole lot easier with my 2) I walked into the store and thought it was going to be like all the other tesco stores i had been to, small aisles, not much choice on the shelves, and long queues at the checkout. But no... i walked in and it is so bright...

TESCO GIVE YOU EXTRA

Advantages: Great customer service, they sell loads of different things
Disadvantages: I spend ages in there!!!

...Tesco is a great store that always tries to do well by their customers. What other store do you know that offers a great value range to the finest range going beating brand names? I actually enjoy doing my weekly shopping here. I love going to the big supermarkets that sell all the big items to the clothes and household item's. Tesco do a great range of food for every budget and it is of a very high quality whatever the range. You can buy the 'finest' range that is about on par with the average M&S stuff it is of excellent quality, a real treat to buy. I can say that every time I go shopping that I rarely purchase any branded item's everything is Tesco or their value range because I am a believer that it basically is the same anyway and given the taste and appearance I have been proven correct, anyway on a students budget...

Extra Extra! Tescos Extra open now in Shirley

Advantages: 2 Floors therefore being able to stock more, Cleanliness, Product Range, Offers within the store
Disadvantages: Depending on the time of day the store can be quite crowded, Poor Public Transport

...Me and my faimly have now shopped with Tescos (Mainly the Shirley branch) for the past to 5 years due to the poor quality we found in our local Asda. When the store closed approx a month ago for refurbishment we panicked as we knew that the small temporary store would not hold the goods we desired (due to us being a large family of 5) and after one visit there decided to shop in Redditch for a while until the Shirley store re-opened. This store was also nice just as shirley so the only problem we really found was the distance of travel. Luckily due to havin our own transportation we were able to make this journey but those who required to use public transport would have found this difficult. Anyway... Back on the subject of the new store opened in Shirley. The store has now re-opened with an extra floor level and what seems to...

  Working for Tesco

Advantages: Good pay, great benefits package
Disadvantages: Crap uniform, crap managers

...-time contracts, partly because they prefer to employ 2 part-time staff who will then be able to cover extra nights as overtime, than one full-time staff who is then limited to what overtime they can work. When I started at Tesco, my contracted hours were 9pm - 6am Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Since then I've swapped and changed my shifts round a few times, and also taken on an extra shift, so I'm now contracted to 9pm-6am Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, and 7:30pm to 2:30am Sunday. Now, I know generally that anything over 30 hours a week is considered full-time, but at Tesco for some reason this is different. To them, full-time is classed as 36.5 hours and above. And whilst you may think this doesn't really matter, it does affect certain things such as break entitlements and overtime rates. As well as contracted hours, there are usually...

Review of Tesco

Extras with extras

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: none

...When Ricky Gervais finished 'The Office', he was in an interesting position; dozens of Hollywood stars and British favourites were asking him to include them in his next project. The unprecedented success of his show meant he was in a powerful position, and one he used well. Extras is a sitcom about (wait for it) film extras. Gervais plays Andy Millman, a lovable guy who is both very funny but also very vulnerable - a comic mix. Office co-creator Stephen Merchant also takes a role in the show, playing the idiotic agent and ex-Carphone Warehouse worker Darren Lamb. Andy Millman is very different to David Brent, sharing only a couple of facial expressions. Millman is more down to earth, a very cynical guy with a biting sense of humour and a vulnerable desire to achieve. Each episode sees Andy working as an extra on a film...

Review of Extras - The Collection (DVD)

Tescos

Advantages: Great Value
Disadvantages: Puts local businesses under stress

...Tescos is King of all supermarkets and I think that they are best for value in the long term or in the big shop as well. As a student I have found that the tesco down the road from me is my new home, as opposed to the Centre up the road that can be so expensive some times in comparison. Tescos sells your average grocerys as well as dvd's and electricals, clothes, office supplies, tobacco and confectionary, alcohol, cards for special occassions and toys. Everything you need seems to almost be in one store, there is also a tesco value line that provides Tescos own products at a cheaper price. The staff in Tescos are always friendly where I come from in Cookstown, they always help you find something if your not quite sure where it is and always strike up a pleasant conversation at the help desk, though I understand that some...
