I am not happy about the car parking charges which is 80 pence per hour. You have to spend £5.00 at Tesco so you can park for free for 2 hours. Firstly you have to remember to pick up a voucher, then queue at the machine for absolutely ages, enter the last 3 digits of your car reg., press o.k. enter the voucher code, press o.k. etc., There may be more instructions but I cannot remember how many times you press o.k. etc., so the machine authorises the exit from the car park. Its a nightmare!!!
Sainsburys in Oldbury do not charge and neithger does Asda. It's easy, IN and OUT.
Tesco don't have cashiers after a certain time. I picked my son up from work at 12.30 a.m. popped in just to have a browse and you have to use the self service tills. I am totally unimpressed with this.
And why are the clothes placed in the middle of the store near the tills. Surely it would have been much wiser to put the greengrocery there so the shopper can pick up soft food and put it at the top of the trolly and have the heavy things like bottles of squash water at the beginning of the store and not at the end of the store.
The deli counter was closed at 12.30 a.m. I was led to believed it is a 24 hour store.
If you want petrol late at night you have to pay by card as there is no cashier.
On the plus side, the salad bar was full even though it was late. read more
