Talking about Tesco trolleys, I've just come back from Tesco 'extra' and the state of the trolleys. it seems as though when it rains no one can be bothered to get out & collect the trolleys! Half way out into the road, the shelter by the entrance practically empty.
Tescos are a victim of there own success, today the wi-fi connection in store went down at the petrol filling station and in store, apparently damaged from the lightning?.... every day around 4 a clock Tescos do what they call 90% reductions on all sections (not non-food) however today the printer labelling device (PDA) would not transmit a signal to the printing device which is wireless, so they were unable to print a reduction barcode ticket, shop floor staff had to write reduction labels on a yellow mark down ticket by pen.
At the tills the scanning device was unable to read the ticket and the reduction had to be manually reduced by a section manager meaning the section managers in store had to step to help the till and trolley/back of house stood in to take over on shop floor.
So the trolley were neglected for a few hours.
Also they had a number of new/training staff on.
