Duck vs Tesco

Duck vs Tesco

Don't talk to me about internet shopping.

Don't you just hate it when they turn up and half your order is substituted with something else?

You wait two days for your shopping arrive and you get: "Sorry sir, we didn't have any luxury toilet paper, so we've given you ten sheets of assorted sandpaper instead."

And then they say "Is that OK?"

And you always say "YES", because even sandpaper up your bum is better than actually leaving your home and to buy bog rolls.

Who decides what you get in these cases? Is it some kind of raffle? Or a dare?

"We didn't have any organic cauliflowers, so here's [Shakes lucky eight ball] a freshly butchered mountain goat"

I reckon it's the only chance they have of being creative, so they utterly go for it.

This can be the only reason this happened to me. And I quote:

"Sorry sir, we didn't have any Sensodyne toothpaste, so we've given you a pack of Tena Lady pads instead."

I am agog.

"Is that OK?"

"Of course, it's OK. Can't you see I'm pissing myself?"

Sorry sir, this isn't the first comment, it's actually the eighth, is that OK?

What would they do anyway if you said "No" to their substitutions?

Also have heard of someone who ordered flea drops for their cat from Tesco online, they substituted ones for use on small dogs, but different chemicals used for dogs and the cat died as a result.

Substitute ASDA for Tesco and ask them if that's OK.

So you're not currently brushing your teeth then?

Never order vegetarian stuff online. They'll send you the real meat equivalents if they run out of stock.

That'll teach me for trying to eat healthily.

Sainsburys will only deliver what is stocked in the local branch. Boodly pointless as I can walk there, it being local.

Use Ocado.

TOTALLY TRUE STORY : I used to work for Tesco. I remember the outraged customer who visited the store the day after one of our pickers substituted kiwi fruit with a tin of shoe polish. I didn't stop laughing for days. (that bit might not be true)
