I'm bored so I'm trying to exploit Tesco.

qz

To whom it may concern,

On the 4th of March 2007 at Tesco, Sandymount Dublin 4, I purchased an item which fell below the high standard I expect of your products. The product in question was a bag of
"Tesco Select Salt and Vinegar Crisps". It was a multipack bag containing 6 packets of crisps. One packet was sealed to the inside of the packaging. I enclose two pictures to illustrate the fault in question.

The fact that this product was allowed onto the shelves only indicates the lack of care and attention on your behalf. Such care should obviously be payed to items of food available to the general public. I would appreciate a reply stating the reason for this. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that I am a regular shopper and that I feel shocked that a product such as the one I purchased was allowed on the shelves. It makes me question the quality of your product range and I am hesitant about returning to your store.

Yours faithfully,

Not bored, just greedy is it?

ClareBear

Do it for the little people OP!!

APM

surely the staff aren't able to X-ray each multipack of crisps to make sure the inside bags are not sealed to the main bag itself? thats more a production problem rather than the care and attention of the staff who have to pack the stock?

Crisps are bad for your health :mad:

Ok, this isn't meant to be serious in anyway, do you not get that it's a joke?
Christ almighty, a lot of people could do well with a sense of humour these days.

Actually, it just makes the whole thing funnier, lol thanks.

Many a time have I bitten into a chocolate bar only to find that it is without the promised wafer or biscuit, but I'm always too greedy to post it back, despite everyone telling me that I'll get a whole box filled with non-faulty chocolate bars for my trouble.

So, has anyone actually sent back faulty foods from whence they came and reaped those elusive rewards?

Did anyone hear about the chocolate finger which was a finger?

Yep. I returned a KitKat with no wafer and got a box of them back in return!

Also found a strip of plastic in a bar from a well known British confectioners (leaving out the name so as not to get Boards or myself into trouble). I posted it back to them and within a couple of days got a letter of apology, stating that they were investigating the matter, along with a cheque for postage.

About two weeks later, I was sent the detailed lab report on the plastic, a cheque and vouchers for said confectioner's shop.

So yes, it's always worthwhile not to eat around the problem!

Wouldnt happen with the trusty auld Tayto. Serves you right OP for buying those 'foreign' crisps! Buy Irish!

Eh, yeah it would. Quality control in Tayto left a lot to be desired. When I ate them I used to get bags of green crisps.

King crisps are far better, or for real quality Irish get yourself some Hunkey Doreys.

Hunky Doreys are Irish? Wooowwwwwww!

You think you all have it so bad.

I once bought a sandwich toaster in T***o in The Square, and when I got it home, I found it had been used, there was bits of crusty old melted cheese in it, and a hair. Someone obviously returned it, and they just put it straight back on the shelf no questions asked.
