When a bag for life isn't really

Firetrap · 31-08-2008 9:46pm #1

I had one of those Tesco Bag for Life bags at home that was the worse for wear after a few years of loving care. On the bottom of the bag it said that when it wore out, you could bring it back to Tesco and have it replaced. So I decided that it was time to trade it in for a new one that didn't look like it had been attacked by a grizzly bear.

Just one problem - customer services girl said "Sorry, we don't replace those anymore". Feckin' Tesco - hasn't been the same since Maurice Pratt left :mad:

If that bag was supposed to last for your lifetime, you should be grateful. It's obviously turned you into an immortal being. I'd have second thoughts about trying to prove it though.

Only old bags replace their old bags.

Wait, a multinational corporation lied to us?

FFS!

You should have killed the girl as she was clearly directly responsible.

Bag for life? sounds like a fair trade to me!

It is a bag for life OP. They're out by a couple of days sometimes but you'll more than likely be brown bread by Wednesday at the latest. Get your affairs in order now.

if they do give you a replacement bag then get a receipt in case they try and fob you off with a cheapo one so you can get another later on

When I got home, I looked at a similar bag that was bought in Tesco more recently. Slyly, they've stopped printing the empty promise about replacing bags.
