OT - Tesco Home Shopping

I wouldn't...I've used Tesco, Asda and Ocado and I've never experienced a driver "hovering"...we pay a premium to have it delivered anyway so why pay more? Maybe at Christmas if he's had to make 5 or 6 trips to the van to bring the stuff to the door....

We use it all the time, never tipped them at all. we gave up with tesco & went with Sainsburys, the drivers are more pleasant & timekeeping is better.

I'd tip him..... like "Don't hand around too long you may get yer van nicked" ;-)

Bah Humbug. Tesco won't deliver to us but they do to the town 2 1/2 miles down the road... So we end up doing a 50 odd mile round trip to do the shopping ourselves in stead of our shopping coming in a van with several other peoples shopping...

Do you tip any other courier? I guess he hovered as he knew you were new... I might tip at Christmas if the same driver had been doing the run regulary and was on time did a good job etc...

I used to drive home shopping delivery vans for another big supermarket.

I think that if your driver was expecting a tip he was chancing his luck. Carrying one's own cash on the shop floor was banned where I worked because of the difficulty in proving that cash belonged to you and that you didn't just lift it out of an open till.

Accepting tips for any employee was classed as gross misconduct. There were regular searches if they were losing money out of the tills. Out in the field, sometimes you could offend a customer by not accepting a tip so I'm sure it went on occasionally.

I'd never have hung about expecting a tip however.

I can understand the logic of that, but it strikes me as a pretty us- and-them style of management.

But this afternoon, at the local Tesco, they were calling all managers to a "rumble on aisle 4".

Sharks or Jets?

You're a tight Yorkshireman.

Rushes to WD40....... Which trolley?
