Tesco is stupid.

Author: William

12 Feb

Sunday night. Ordered shopping online.

Monday. Delivered. Driver asks how old I am, I say 16, so he says “you have to be 18 to accept delivery” (I was the only person in). There’s no wine or anything in the order, so I thought, like, what the hell.

Monday night. Dad called them up to arrange redelivery.

Tuesday. Different driver arrives, parents are out again, gives me the shopping with no questions asked.

Like, make up your mind Tesco. And why do I have to be 18 to accept a few bags of food that has been paid for, and yet I can drive a possibly lethal car at the age of 17. Stupid, eh?

Hehe gutted - makes no sense why they would do that though…

Even funnier is the fact that you can have sex at age 16 but you can’t watch other people doing it until your 18. Work that one out.

And what’s the legal drinking age over there again?

It’s pretty funny though that that happens, it’s like one who for some reason takes his job seriously and the second doesn’t give a fuck about how good/bad he does his job.

I think it’s more of a case of “one wants a promotion, and the rest are happy with their job” - we’ve had around 10 drivers total over the past few months, and this one is the first to complain.

As for the legal drinking age, I think it’s 17 or 18. Not sure though.

Easier to pick it up yourself and not have to worry about it getting delivered to the wrong address.

I really dislike the whole concept of home delivery of food and perishable items, take away food is OK, (Pizza, Chinese etc.) I think it’s the height of laziness, same goes for these X10 devices, lights etc that you can turn on at the touch of a button when the actual switch is 2 foot away.

We will all be living from 8 foot cubed houses with a single chair and an “All in one, everything” within 10 years.

Good point, but I absolutely hate going to our local Tesco, because usually the only time we can do it all at once is on a weekend, and guess who shops on weekends? Parents and their small kids, which = noise.
