When you get down to the nuts and bolts of it all, Tesco have, once again, screwed up.

somebody should have told her that when given the choice it is always always always best to swallow.

A disgusted mother sunk her teeth into a Tesco spring roll and found a metal bolt hidden inside.

Presumably the spring roll was made by Whitworth's.  Occasional inclusion of metal objects is one of Whitworth's quality metrics.

To the women eating the spring roll it came like a bolt from the blue.  But clearly her snack didn't include any springs.

Tim Vine, eat your heart out. And tell your slacker cousin, Tim Wood, to get to that spring roll factory and sort it out.

I think it's now time I went and had a lie down.

Now there's an opportunity to have a lovely set of pearly white crowns paid for by our Company.

The rodent, measuring roughly eight inches long, then zipped down the full length of the checkouts the Tesco Extra store in Brookfield, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, making its way past some strewn empty boxes towards the food aisles.

Inconsistent if you ask me. Where's it's white shirt with blue and red stripes?

I was told the rat was called Dave or Matt and had escaped from Head office for the day.

Perhaps it was killed by the rat or snake

Father criticises Tesco after his baby daughter ate out-of-date food bought at store in Leicester

"I had to wait at least 5-10 minutes while the customer services staff dealt with a colleague, once she attended to me and my partner she did not show any concern to the fact that I had just fed my daughter out-of-date products.

"One of the members of staff rudely referred to my daughter as "the kid".

[Digimon]

Looks like it may have been some type of cereal or biscuit type product? If that's the case the thing would be fine to eat months later even if it wasn't at it's prime. If, and if this is the case, I would be very dubious as to whether it caused any discomfort following ingestion.

If it was my child and I was concerned that he or she was developing a rash and vomiting due to consuming something that was worrying to me as a parent, the NHS helpline would have been called. The fact that he didn't call makes me skeptical.

Who in their right mind waits until symptoms subside not knowing when they might, of if ever they will?

Another spud-faced chancer?

[optout]

if your KID is ill dont go to casualty go to tesco customer services, it the umpteenth emercency service. And they would have been waitng a hell of a lot longer at the casualty depatrment.

i think the corect response should have been "...and would sir like us to call an ambulance for his little cherub".

[Nomad]

The point is taken at face value there was out of date product on sale and that should not happen in any store.  But it is happening more often lately.

[Equalizer87]

Its the same in my store, the workload is becoming too much and with fewer hours available to do the job. When will they learn that fewer staff and a bigger job lot equals the job not being done?

As for working faster, not a chance. I'm not breaking my back for these blood seeking leeches any longer.
