Could suggest it to the editor (but won't as I kinda like my job!). Maybe Sonic could write a story about working for Tesco and DMR could provide a nice picture for the story.. Or maybe not Dave, eh! We did do a feature on Non-Food at Sainsbury's in Chippenham a while back, a very informative and insightful look at the future of retailing in the UK..... the store had been spruced up to accomodate more Non-food items... I sent a photographer to capture the magic of Chippenham.. But he couldn't find any  |

I'd gladly write a piece about working at Tesco, but I doubt it'd be printable due to bad language and libel.

Although I shop there now, I'll never forget the 6am Saturday, and 7am Sunday starts to stack the bread when I was a student. Proper shite for £4.50 an hour in old money :-))(

Now that's just wrong. Went in the Swindon one yesterday with me Mum, it's a right dump in there. The odd thing is the staff all look exactly the same as they do in Abingdon.

"The Nation's most popular shopping game"
Possibly the only one as well!

'bruce's price is right' was another fantastic gameshow related to shopping (not in a strict sense)

Asda's alright, tesco's stressed me out too much pre-Christmas, almost had a tantrum in there, all these old slags getting in my way, talking in the middle of the aisle, walking at 0.5 kmph, pissed me off big time. I just had to get out of there.

my favourite in hong kong is Park 'n' Shop, which is strange because generally you can't drive to any of them.
they stock a lot of waitrose stuff though which keeps me alive.
i tend to steer clear of the steamed chicken's feet and boiled cow stomach.

ASDA for me as its not far from my house and is cheap as fuck.
Shame about the pikeys that shop/work there though. The plus side of that is it can be a good place to do some chav spotting

I worked in a supermarket about 10 years ago, never again. Never realised people (usually women) got so stressed if we ran out of a certain brand of soap or something.

Not just women though, old men are just as bad. We ran out of 32 packs of paracetamol for awhile and this fella came up and ask for some, I politely told him we'd sold out of packs of 32 but he can go and pick up two packs of 16 for exactly the same price. He went off on one and had a right go at me for it, so I just walked off.
Some people are mental.
