How about good in frozen section at Doncaster, total joke, a small table and four bone hard steel seats with a coffee machine which is foul, that’s your lot, seriously takes the peees, prisoners get better facilities ffs. Chilled section on the other hand I have heard is pretty decent ■■ Pah…

Well speaking of bloody Tescos, Im a long retired long distance haulage contractor, & my wife & I shop at our local Tescos, But latley its starting to ■■■■ me right off, It seems when we are doing our shopping we have to give way to Tescos staff that are filling trolleys with stuff for people that shop on line, Now ive nothing against that, but the people that are filling these trollies seem to need more space than I would have needed for a 45 ft trailor, I thought that when I retired & didnt have to deliver to such dead end supermarket depots, the hassle,s would have gone, how bloody wrong I was. Nowt changes does it. , but having said all this it appears to be the same wherever you go these day
Your vegetables and fruit, along with your meat, will be cheaper at the grocers and the local butchers…[zb]Tesco…Theiving capitalist [zb].

Fortunately, I now have time to do real price comparisons, not the crap you find on the internet, but real time stuff.
It is astonishing the mark-up in supermarkets 
Lidl have become more expensive than all the other supermarkets, Aldi is not to bad for wine and spirits.
Fortunately, buying all my meat from the local butcher, which is locally reared and my greens and fruit from the local market, I save in the region of £20.00 per week
Plus it keeps me away from all the crap the supermarkets sell.
They are now royally shafting the Great british Public

Although it wasn’t said, might it have been because the canteen has a cash free system, like many other Tesco RDCs?Regards,
Nick.Correct ! … When I was employed by Tesco all RDC’s and stores used a voucher system for the canteens.
Allthough no company is allowed to stop you using the canteen if you are there for over an hour I believe. Once at Woolworths in Rochdale two of us at Fed Ex were kept there for 2 hours and they told us we couldnt use the canteen, the guy I was with called the police and said he had been detained against his will, the cops showed up and ordered Woolworths to let us eat in the canteen or refuse the loads and release us LOL.
Isn’t there a requirement to pay subsistence if access to mess facillities is denyed?
Of course no one will be paying it, so I’d say everyone has a damned right to use whatever fixtures are on site!They’ll be denying you the right to a ■■■■ in the “company bogs” next otherwise!
I only buckled under once around 1993 on a holiday agency run when I was told “go into town if you want something to eat”. I dropped the trailer on the only loading bay at this particular establishment, then drove the cab the 20 mins into town, got myself something to eat, then booked a full hours meal break in my cab to eat it. They were NOT happy when I got back about 2 hours later in all, and I got banned from site. Chickinshit outfit anyways… If they didn’t want me to take thepiss, then perhaps they shouldn’t have proferred it in the first place!
Belter that.
I got to Asda Chepstow several months ago and got told to move here there and everywhere. Told 'em out of hours matey…sorry. In the end they were arguing amongst themselves about what they wanted me to do with the load. So I gave them my mobile and said ‘I’ll drop it in a holding bay. When you’ve decided what trailer you want pulling back phone this number’. Gave the ■■■■ my mob number and went and had a kip … and he lost my number…
Ahh, RDC staff…two more brain cells each and they’d be on a par with a dyslexic squirrel…
I’d never get away with it, (1) because I’ve never had a mobile, and (2) everywhere I’ve been, some ■■■■ running around the yard on forks bangs my door right after I’ve just got off to sleep (2 hours til backload! - A certain establishment off the A38 springs to mind here) because he wants to load an odd cage onto me that got shut out by the earlier guy from the same depot as me - funny how I never seem to get the earlier of the runs to the same place!)
I’ll try and get the “scotch run” next time, as these folk seem to get treated like royalty… Fasttrack through the tip queue and all that… 
Somebody told TV chef Anthony Worrall Thompson about Tesco’s cash free system, I think he got the wrong idea. 
Is a long treath now. Didnt know we could discuss so much about Tsco
Sure we shall open a second Page

when was this then ? i worked there for 6 years between 2001 and 2007 always suppliers drivers in the canteen when i was in
and you put up with it?
just pull out if you don’t like it.
Try asking around.Sometimes anyone helps you to get a Card.Ask security or Till at Restaurant.Show them sach you would top up to use other Cards
Most Tesco RDC’s canteens are upstairs above the goods out office! Usually the opposite side of the site to goods in! Also only open for hot food at certain times during the shift patterns i.e 1 and a half hours from 1am! Cashless! And getting a card is a joke if I’m honest! You will probably get one if you turn a Pole upside down!
As Switchlogic always trys to say! Be NICE and maybe you’ll be treated better!
