I hope, but doubt, that the MM involved in the incident and the botched investigation & dismissal were disciplined, demoted or sacked.

They carried out bad actions had poor knowledge and poor common sense, and most likely a 'buddy buddy' attitude at work.

Yes you would hope something was done to those involved, its managers like that who give them all a poor name.
Do not let anyone tell you there is not a decent job and life beyond Tesco.

Quote"I spoke to a manager and he said the policy in Tesco is that when you come to Tesco, you have to come to customer services, show them your blue badge and your registration, then walk back out to your car to put your blue badge up and then you can have your three hours."

The policy seemed unfair to Claire because it meant disabled people would have to walk further every time they needed to do a shop.

She stated that the whole point of the badge is to make shopping more comfortable for disabled people.

So they put disabled bays near the store entrance to shorten the distance the disabled have to walk, then they tell them they have to walk in & walk out & walk in before they can start their shopping

What a fantastically intelligent MM and company  8-)

Never know such a policy in any Tesco or for that matter other shop I have worked at, the manager(s) who put this system into place could well be facing claims under the disability discrimination act if someone wished to take the matter that far.

Arse for elbow as usual at Tesco. It's amazing how people stick around. There is plenty of entry jobs with better pay which don't require half the output. How many 60 70 year olds do you see filling shelf's go to even our NHS operatives, porters, cleaners and drivers it's a different story some on £20/hour on Sunday and not much less if working Saturday.

The only thing Tesco has done wrong here is to let a car parking management company take over the parking areas. It's a sure fire way to lower customer numbers, there's only 2 things more ineptly ran than Tesco, and those are British Gas and Private car park management companies.

Surely Amazon is big enough to just buy Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda, and buy Market dominance lol?

No one want Tesco at current stage. To expensive. You looking at over 30B as new owner will have to cover debt on top of the company's value.
It's cheaper to to buy land and build 1000 stores from scratch.

Seen the latest, Lidl from March are paying £10.10 an hour, no chance Tesco doing that they are as tight as a ducks xxxx.

Paupers wage

Come next April Tesco's will be in the good company of the lower paid retail sector with the likes of B&M Poundland Iceland etc seemingly without any undue concern, every little helps with the aid of universal, working tax credits topping up the wages for colleagues! working for the biggest private sector employer

The url for the news about Lidl upping their pay.

https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/lidl/lidl-boosting-hourly-wage-to-reclaim-top-paying-supermarket-title/661939.article?utm_source=Daily%20News%20(The%20Grocer)&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2021-11-17&c=&cid=DM986102&bid=1770594737

With Amazon looking to take Tescos crown as the market leader of the grocery sector in the UK within the next 4 years.  Tesco are in a very precarious position currently. It's a big win for suppliers as there's more competition, but also because Amazon has around 10x the buying power of Tesco, Tesco will really need to compete on cost much more heavily.

Tescos potential saving grace will be Booker and the wholesale market, in the supermarket arena, Tesco is unique in that it appeals to every demographic and does so somewhat successfully, while its competitors usually successfully target specific demographics and market segments (Lidl/Aldi are focused on low income and budgeting demographics, M&S/Waitrose on the high end, Morrisons and Sainsburys mid range).

Amazon are one of few companies that do what Tesco does better. There's no competing in this space. Tesco will need to adjust their strategy.

Go on guys keep pushing for more looking forward to compensation in about 6 years .

Another mess of an investigation has ended up in court, and resulted in the claimant winning.

I'm glad the bloke won a big pay out, and I hope the managers involved have to do the Walk of Shame right out the door. But I'm amused at the thought of a manager, "falsely imprisoning" someone. Any manager, male or female, who tried to stop me leaving would get launched across the room ;D

Quelle surprise, another day another case of a Mickey Mouse Area Manager making the headlines. At least when they were languishing on the dole they didn't cause trouble for anyone. But it's as they say, mateyboys begets mateyboys, and lo and behold Tesco has become little better than the government offices of a failed African state.

The obvious question is what happened to the Area Manager, very unprofessional behaviour to say the least.

I would put a couple of tins of an Aldi product in the basket for the food bank...the store can't dictate what product's name goes in, neither can they remove it!, that'll put a stop to them 'encouraging' their staff donating their cash into the Tesco coffers! The sign will come down pretty darn quick methinks  ???

Probably still acting as a full time muppet, Tesco management look after their own, short of taking a dump in the office at head office, they're unsackable.

I only know 2 SMs that got sacked, Sorry... "Asked to resign." But what they did was beyond the pale, even for the Area Manager.

BUY TESLA STOCK

And when they resigned they were no doubt still paid wages for not turning up. From store director to TM our group was full of arseholes. Couldn't run a bath the lot of them.

Amazon Could Overtake Tesco By 2025, Targets Rapid Store Growth

QuoteWhile Amazon currently only has a handful of Amazon Fresh stores , plus a fledgling Amazon 4-Star operation, it wants to have established more than 260 Amazon-owned and run supermarkets across the country before the end of 2024, with 60 slated to open in 2022, and another 100 per annum in both 2023 and 2024.
