Tesco Home Delivery Service

Advantages: Very reliable service
Disadvantages: Short shelf life items need us by dates checked

...Background: High Wycombe delivery. I have for the past two years taken advantage of the Tesco home delivery service. For the simple reason I hate going to the supermarket. I always seem to get stressed out by out of control kids or people with massive long lists not looking where they are going. As a result I got more bruises than I did when I played football. What I do now is place an order once a month online and top it up with fruit and vegetables in between direct from the store. The Home Delivery service is an excellent idea for those who struggle to get to the shops for example the elderly, my mum swears by it. It is also really handy for those heavier items; it can be hard work lugging all your bags of shopping around. And also for lazy people like me who just hate shopping. So I like to do it from the comfort of my...

Tesco Home Delivery

Advantages: Saves time and the hassle of trailing around the supermarket
Disadvantages: None really

...I have used Tesco home delivery several times and have not encountered any problems so far. I find it very handy when my husband can't take me for my shopping just to be able to do it all online. When you get to the Tesco homepage you will have to join up before being able to access the groceries section. You will be asked for your email address and a password and once that is done you can then go shopping. On the left hand side of the page is a list of options such as dairy products, bread, household goods, tinned goods etc and also a section where you can see what special offers are on. Click on the section you want to find the products or type in the search box the name of the product. It really is quite simple and straightforward. When you find what you want just add it to your basket and it will appear in a list...

Review of tesco.co.uk

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...

  Working for Tesco

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

...Ok, first of all, I'd just like to mention, this is a looooooooooooong review, so if you're not actually interested in reading about Tesco as an employer, then I'd suggest you don't bother as it will take some patience to get through! When I left school at the age of 18, and having decided I couldn't be bothered with university, I suddenly had to face the big bad world and go and find myself a job. I wasn't really fussy about what job I did - I've never been ambitious, and simply wanted a job where I could go to work, do my job, come home and not have to think about it. As our local Tesco is just 5 minutes away, I decided to apply there. I wrote a letter requesting an application form, and a few days later received a lovely letter and the form I had asked for. I read through the form and thought, wow, I don't know how to answer...

Tesco trains

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: As good as original brands

...Santa bought my four year old the lovely mountain train set made by tesco. He desperately wanted a train set and when we were in Toysrus we would look at the brio sets and then look around the other toys. It was not unitl near to Christmas that I actually decided to look at the price. I was horrified to discover how expensive brio train sets were. I looked in several other shops ELC etc but they too were too expensive. I found a cheap set in ASDA but it did not seem to be compatabile with brio or even near to the quality, so I decided not to buy the train set from there either. When we were shopping in Tescos my son pointed out the train sets and took a real interest in a lovely mpuntain train set which had had a wooden train set, a little bridge, wooden animals, trees, tunnels, trains, carriages,sign and mountains all for £24...

All aboard the Tesco train

Advantages: Cheap, well made, compatible with other brands
Disadvantages: none i can see

...I have 6 young nephews all are train mad and the all have the ELC train sets. You know the ones I mean wooden tracks and engines that cost a fortune. Well come Chritmas and birthdays buying for them all is a nightmare so i usually end up getting them additions to their trainsets but find the early learning ones a bit pricy, a single engine is around £5 and a set of 4 wooden people will se you back £4. So while doing me grocery shopping I decided to stop off at the toy secion in Tesco to see if there was anything suitable for nephew who was turning 3 years old. It was here I discovered that Tesco do a wooden train set which is compatible with other brands. After very close inspection I decided it looked just as good quality as the ELC and for a fraction of the price. On this occasion I bought a zoo train which included an engine, 3...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

TESCO

Advantages: Friendlly people, easy job
Disadvantages: pay,staff benefits

...Having worked for Tesco at some point I have an employee and also a customer's perspective. I was employed when I was 16; it started off as part time work because I was at college. This suited me because my hours were convenient, the pay was good - above the minimum wage, overtime was available at the drop of a hat and it was a really easy job. For a young person the training was a breeze - everything was easy to pick up and the local store where I worked had friendly older women to guide me through all the millions of questions I asked. (Best way to learn - asking all the questions under the sun) I was initially trained on checkouts - the system was old but manageable and the main focus was being polite to your customer, offering to pack their bags, building rapport and of course SMILING. TESCO do monthly checks on you...

Tesco Is My Second Home

Advantages: Wide range of products, cheap range, finest range, osterich meat, emu meat, kangaroo meat
Disadvantages: busy, no pick and mix fresh sald/pasta

...food, deli and drikns are all in thier own sections. When i visited my local Sainsburys, the products were all mixed up and i found it very confusing and tiring going arpund all the different isles more than once to find my product! I would say that if Tesco were looking to improve thier stores, they should include fresh salad, pasta etc, which you can pick and mix and take home. I dont know if they have this in other stores but they dont have them in Derby....

Thank Heavens for Tesco Home Shopping

Advantages: They bring the stuff to you
Disadvantages: But now and then they make little mistakes!

...I started ordering my shopping on-line because my two little angels (!!) didn't like going shopping. I have to admit I'm not very keen myself - all that queuing, etc. (Plus I have been known to get a bit lethal with the shopping trolley!). I had only shopped at Tesco's once previously but as they were the only store offering home shopping in my neck of the woods (sunny Rochdale), I thought I'd give them a go. The home page sometimes has a bit of trouble firing up, but once on the site it is relatively clear and easy to get round. The first thing I do is go straight to the "special offers" pages where you can just look at the top offers that week or look under each department (health and beauty, frozen foods, drinks, etc). You can then search under all the departments and sub-departments that it brings up, but if you tend to...
