    Wouldn't be surprised if there's more to this than she's letting on. A lot of the time it's the case with things like this

    I am sure there was more to it! Hard to know!
    I Looked at some of the comments on it and it appears the security guard has been slagging her off all over social media.

    Tesco in Manor do ask you to use the sanitiser before going in, I have only been there once briefly, don't know about down town one but there wouldn't be as much room in down town one to be setting up a station like the have in Manor.

    As it happened I had used my own as well before going in.

    They have a couple of hand sanitisers on a table inside the door of the Tesco by the square but there is no monitoring and no one says to use it. I do both in and out but I am definitely in a small minority in that store.

    That's a legal action for Tesco in the making.

    What amazes me is that people are willing to spend ages in these queue's
    We were going to have a drive thru from Burger King on Friday Evening, when we arrived the queue was out to where you exit the drive thru
    We turned right around obviously

    We did the same some night last week. Quick U-turn.

    They seemed to still be around last Christmas, but I don't know how they are selling them. I think they wanted to compete with the one for all vouchers, but I don't think they really took off. We looked into getting them, but like the one for all voucher, they look for commission on them. Makes no sense for a small business when you can sell your own gift vouchers, and not have to pay any commission.
    I don't think anyone has even come into us looking to buy anything with one.

    Apparantly they're starting another one of them now :rolleyes: Well they're taking credit for it anyway

    The best thing they could do would be partner up with one4all and have a Tralee branded card.
    A bit like call cards used promote stuff.
    That would be a good thing if the intention is to promote Tralee and spending in Tralee but making money always takes over and things like that are tarnished

    Why is she a bunny boiler?

    If she was refused for that then she's right to complain! I don't know anywhere that is insisting you put on hand gel to enter? I usually put it on in the car before I go in. If they are telling her that in one store and not doing it in another then they are making it up as they go along.

    I haven't been to Tescos this whole time, so I don't know if what she's saying actually happened, but I would be annoyed too to be fair!

    they have every right to refuse admission. as does every retail outlet. you do not have a right to enter a shop. obviously they let most people in but they can tell you leave at any time. I doubt there is anything in consumer legislation that prevents them and the constitution allows for the ownership of property and carry on a business.

    Thanks, aware of a business being entitled to do that...I run one ;)

    I called her a bunny boiler because instead of contacting the business to complain she goes off on a tangent for all to see and try and gather as much back up as possible .


    No better than that Gemma o Doherty bunny boiler..

    Thanks, and in future, don't refer to what I do or who I am...I have no idea who you are, and I don't make reference to those I do know. Its not the first time people have done it here and its becoming ridiculous now. Respect peoples privacy on this board!

    Oh I understand that....but the place is so bloody small we dox ourselves at times...it's kinda hard not to...
    But, for the most part, we all get on....we'd know a few posters..we could guess at a few more....as long as no lines are deliberately crossed I don't get too upset when people twig who I am ...and with kevmak, he did apologise and edit his post.
    I think because it's so insular here the last 2 months..we have been a bit in each others pockets more than normal, so to speak...sure it's either here or Tralee do you Know....and I'm banned again for a fortnight :D

    Its fine, It just gets annoying when I've no idea who most are here and they seem to know who I am or where I work.
    If we had public names it would be different, but for reasons I don't know, this forum has private usernames names. I don't mention what I know about anyone else, which isn't much. I realise I've given references in the past and somehow people 'figured' it out, so I try not to anymore...even on other forums. I didn't realise how people like to keep track!:(

    What I do though isn't relevant to that Tesco rant...and we do have hand sanitiser where I work, we just don't stand at the door insisting people use it. I also haven't been in any shop that I was told I had to put it on our I can't come in!

    Ah well, if it's any consolation I don't know who any of you are in real life. Most of the posters on here seem pretty sound, though, so I don't think this thread is harbouring any crazy stalker types.

    Garvey's won't let you in without sanitizing..they actually have people on the front and back doors most of the day

    They must have been off when I went in about 3 weeks ago. No one at the back door anyway.

    The hand sanister police! :D

    I tend to always wash my hands before I leave house, then sanitise in the car before I get out and end up doing it again on the way in, on the way out and again in the car. I am surprised my hands aren't in bits! I think the hands are used to it all now though. They were so dry and chapped at the start, but its a good thing we are all washing and sanitising our hands more. I forgot I had a small cut on my hand at the weekend, sprayed sanitiser on my hand and the pain!! :eek:

    I also don't have an iota who anyone else here is and don't think anyone else here knows me. I don't work in town though; I'm guessing much of the working-in-town crowd would know each other.

    On hand-sanitiser-gate, on some (but not all) occasions I've visited, I've seen people entering both Tesco Manor and Dunnes NCR told to sanitise their hands. Haven't seen the same happen at any other store.

    I can't comment on Tesco as I haven't been there since covid, but I do go to Dunnes NCR weekly and I haven't noticed them actually tell anyone to sanitise their hands. I really only noticed the guys tell people when its ok to go in. I definitely haven't seen them tell anyone in Dunnes Horan centre and my husband said the same whenever he's gone in himself. I definitely haven't seen it anywhere else either.

    I don't think I know you either, may be I do, who knows...but I think PandaKilla is the only person I know here, and even then we wouldn't know each other well. I don't know anyone who posts on here and even when I've mentioned the boards, most people I know don't know of this forum!
