Was into one of there newly rooled out change for good stores yesterday just to check there prices and see if they had indeed reduced prices and yeah they had back to where they were in may:mad: for example in May a pack of 5 Kit Kat chunky bars was 1.30 then they rised it to 2.00 in may and now its back to 1.40, another example Tesco choc cake bars which there raised from 1.20 to 1.55 in May and now they have it at 1.30 saying change for good, do they take Irish people for fools, i always keep the price of things in my head and im able to spot the diffrence very easily, anyway yesterday i called the manager in the store and told him about it and said in no uncertain terms that i wont be shopping there again and to not think he could make a fool out of me.

You should have vaulted the counter and throttled him.

Yes, consistently.

the drifter · 28-08-2009 03:25PM

yes....next question...

phasers · 28-08-2009 03:25PM

if anybody seriously thinks that Tesco are lowering prices then they deserve to be robbed.

Although in fairness I like that they do the £ = € clothing thing

Long Onion · 28-08-2009 03:26PM

They have reduced the price of full stops though, you should have bought a few whilst you were in there.

ScumLord · 28-08-2009 03:27PM

All big corporations make fools out of people with their advertising. They flat out lie.

Really?
With a name like yours I thought you would have a different talent.

Maybe they only did it with chocolate bars

flanzer · 28-08-2009 03:30PM

Tesco are a bunch of con artists.

Aldi is your only man. €20, and your shopping bag will be overflowing with items compared to being only half full in Tesco

mike65 · 28-08-2009 03:30PM

Jebus what bunch of moaning minnies, you have a choice. Go to Dunnes/SuperQuinn/SuperValu and get ripped off there instead.

JONJO THE MISER · 28-08-2009 03:30PM

The only reason i would ever go in there was to get bread rolls which are nice there but i used always browse around and check the prices, i will never shop there again in my Life, Lidl and Aldi and Dunnes for me with a hint of Supervalue.

You fell for it = You deserve it

LOL. Fighting with staff.

Oh course he has to be seen to be giving a shyte, but something tells me you didn't exactly put a dent in his day. People like you come two-a-penny in shops, albeit most of them are pension age women :pac:

All the problems in this disgusting world and you're championing the cause of the price of 4 KitKat chunkies.

Also, they stole Unicef's "change for good" slogan. Will somebody please think of the children?

AnonoBoy · 28-08-2009 03:48PM

Isn't the head of Unicef in Zambia or somewhere like that a notorious paedo.
He's really doing his bit.

tmdsurvey · 28-08-2009 03:52PM

Lads,

Tesco are a shower of w****ers, as are supervalu, dunnes, superquinn (more like supershi**te). In fairness to ALdi and Lidl they seem to be doin their best. Thank god some of us are keeping an eye on their prices. I reckon we should all head north to shop where the prices are at some level of normality, this will eventually bring prices in the Republic to realistic levels. And it will piss that c**t Brian Lenihan off who whines about us not shopping local. I would shop local if I was on his f**kin wages

Gran Hermano · 28-08-2009 03:52PM

On the topic of kitkats and complaints, did the Tesco store manager not give you the finger?

gibo_ie · 28-08-2009 04:04PM

has anyone noticed that their "school clothes bundle" is €15 and shows the £=€ on the TV ad, but on sky it also shows the UK tesco ad which shows the UK bundle at £10 !!! this £ doesn't = € !!!!

I really doubt the store manager gave a toss if he was pulling his business or not. I get that in work all the time. Not my company why would i care. I do however like kitkats

faceman · 28-08-2009 04:30PM

A user called jonjo the miser is disgusted at price variances on chocolate bars.

And i though i was a miser! Oh wait, i am!

phasers · 28-08-2009 04:37PM

Midget gems went from 51c to 35c

I bought 3 bags yesterday, they're great
