Just because your local store is strange and rude it does not mean all Tesco staff across the country are the same. They do not specifically hire odd, rude staff!
I agree it was a bit cheeky of that woman but she might just have an unusual sense of humour and you took it the wrong way?
Tesco is my favourite supermarket. Sainsbury is never properly stocked and their vegetables seem to go off the next day, we have no Morrisons near us, Waitrose is lovely but expensive, Asda is too cheap and cheerful and has an unreliable delivery service.
I have never had the misfortune to encounter any rude Tesco staff - maybe I am just lucky.
Which means the OP got a bargain...not that the smaller stores will sell specialised stuff like this and only keep the run of the mill stuff anyway.
Weird thing to make up though. If I were generating fantasy stories it would tend to involve hookers and cocaine.
Yeah, just looked at Gluten free, and there are a few at £2.40. But there is nothing at all amongst any of the loaves, normal or gluten free, at £1.98.
Which is why I'm curious as to what bread it is, so I can check the actual price. Maybe an error was made - although it would be scanned, so that seems unlikely.
Must admit I'm waiting for a "Why are customers so rude?" thread on DS, started by someone who works in a Tesco Express, relating the story of a customer who couldn't be bothered to check the price of a loaf and came out with "Bl**dy hell! I'm not paying that for a f**kin' loaf!" when they were presented with the bill!

I've seen more obscure made up stories in GD ..
There once was a thread from a user where 'she' had apparently never had a tesco home delivery before and was in a mass panic about what was about to happen.
You're all way too posh. I shop in Aldi and Lidl more often than any other store, unless I really need to get something in one of the larger chain stores. Asda is okay too; they always have lots of deals on. Tesco and sainsburys are a bit of a rip off tbh.
Hmm, well I order on line from Tesco, and just went into their site to look at bread prices. The most expensive loaves I could find were £1.50 for some specialities, and Hovis Wholemeal Farmers bread. Warburtons half and half toastie was at £1.45. Indeed, there are a few at £1.45, but many were under £1.00.
What type/brand of loaf is it OP ? I can investigate.
As for the shop staff - well shop staff are shop staff. At least they didn't ignore your comment. You'd probably have been even more annoyed at that.
Whats to investigate? You just said you already looked, the poster is on a wind up

Because none of know what the precise circumstances were. I've learnt never to make absolute presumptions about situations in life. You can be surprised or astounded even, at times.
Besides which I've been called a liar on here when I've been telling the truth, so unlike you, I give people the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
What's to investigate ? - I'll decide and report back if I choose :kitty:
LOL, you might think this is weird or strange but I really don't like Tesco. It's the staff, I find bizarre.:o
Normally I shop at Iceland, Morrisons and Sainburys. They employ some really nice staff. Lovely and friendly. But Tesco, I don't know what it is but my local store is really weird.:o
I was running short of bread last night and against my better judgement I called into Tesco.:o
I picked up a loaf and went to the till. '
'That's £1.98.'
'Wow', that's a lot for a small loaf (I can get four loaves for that price at Morrisons).
She turned round and said, 'too much money for you, cannot afford it?' which I thought was really cheeky. Then another guy working there stuck his oar in and said 'bread's bad for you'. WTF.
You'd never get that type of rudeness in other stores.
My local Sainsbury is a place to avoid because of the staff, unhelpful and very very rude
You must be unlucky then. I agree with the OP on this one. On the rare occasions I've used them, I've always found Sainsbury's staff very friendly, courteous and helpful.

Seriously now, you have the time and patience to actually investigate this? You must have something else more fulfilling you could be doing?

The customer is always right. It's a wonderful Ideal, but isn't always workable.
The customers see themselves as individuals, who want a personal service. But that's a fantasy. Your not an individual, your part of a heard of customers. How can i give multiple people an individual service all at the same time.
If I've got one customer on one side of a till, slowly packing there packs before they pay. And half a dozen customers impatiently having to wait until that customers finished, which customer is more right?
Anyway, when some says the 'customer is always right', what they really mean is 'I am always right'...... Customers don't give a shit about other customers..... It's an inherently selfish attitude...
"The customer is always right" is only a slogan invented by Selfridges and applicable to that company.
things are frequently more expensive than in the big branches here.
Yes that's what I thought. You have to pay a little more but in return it's more convenient than driving all the way to the big store and walking down 15 aisles for one loaf of bread.

That's true !!

It was so random, it was actually quite funny

Not sure if Tesco even sell a large loaf at that price

It seems like a good idea at the time.
Yes indeed.
As much time and patience as you have in always seeking out my company on any threads we meet in
As Ron Burgundy says: "I don't believe you"
"The customer is always right" is only a slogan invented by Selfridges and applicable to that company.
Alternatively, the question of whether you must have something else more fulfilling to do than post on DS can be posed to you.
Everyone wastes time in their own way, leave them to it.
And yet it's endlessly trotted out, like some kind of mantra. By people demanding some kind of self-indulgent preferential treatment....
