Yes. New Years Day in 2002. Pulled into Tesco at Middleton with a fridge. Didn’t even get to park up - loading dock team asked for my notes as I drove past. Reversed on, 10 minutes later, wagon is empty and the notes were in the back. Wasn’t even in the place 20 minutes. Asked them why I was so quick as it’s normally 1.5hrs and they said they were on job and knock.

I don’t know if this counts but here go’s
Went into Asda Bedford last year had to pick up one pallet the a driver left there by mistake was in and out in five Min’s, didn’t even have to hand my keys in there said at gate, bay ten open doors wait there will ban on side of trailer to let you go no paper work just go never had that before, anyway rang boss told him got said pallet but no paper work he said, OK now take it to Tesco Harlow, so i did when i got there the man on the intercom said have you got are Tesco’s butter pallet then i said yes i think no paper work yes we know.
Went to office and the said you think the would have noticed as it says Tesco’s all over it, any way he said take a seat and have you unloaded in a bit, 1 hour later, left just shows.

what difference does it make having tesco all over the butter once your on a bay you cant see what goes on in the w/house ■■? well everytime i’ve done asda tesco etc you aint allowed in there w/house’s
I think there were on about the warehouse man at asda can’t there see the name is different on the pallett and why take it off
Personal record time from gate to gate was somerfield bridgwater on a friday night,18 pallets of their bond (wines,spirits and ■■■■) already checked by somerfield loaders at banbury,in at 2030 for a 2100 booking and out the gate at 2105,two forklifts and notes signed before i had pulled my curtains back
Argos, Magna Park, Leicestershire, 5 pallets, time in 08:45, time out 09:04
this included enough time for me to have an argumant with the goods in nobber before they started tipping and knock one of his teeth out after they had finished tipping me
Some years ago, Tesco Hinckley +10 was often quick - 0600 booking, 15 mins gate to gate with 24 pallets of satsumas - happened to me once or twice. Its just a case of catching them at the right time - pot luck really…
Also used to be Somerfield Bridgwater and Morrisons Bradford - hit them when they’re waiting to go home ( just befor 1pm) and you’ll be out of the gate in 15 mins.
Well I’ve been let in 2hrs before my booking time & got out half an hour before the booking, so I’ve tipped in -30mins, ner ner ner ner nerr, beat that
