Tesco Bargain Hunters

[symyjym]

It doesn’t take much for the human race’s shared chimpanzee genes to rise to the surface. I thought seeing people going nuts on Black Friday was bad enoough, but reduced food in Tescos

This happens in all big supermarkets up and down the country every single day. People like to think they've grabbed a bargain.

I always pity the supermarket bod who gets to come out with the reduced price gun, the Mongol hordes already lurking, buzzing like flies around shit waiting to pounce. (apologies for excessive use of metaphors)

I don't because the ******* doing the reductions doesn't bother to check that the sticker is printing out properly and mostly leaves the original barcode uncovered. A ****ed up barcode means it wont scan plus the fact it has already scanned at full price which has to be voided off

Strange lot, us 'humans'.

I get all my groceries delivered. Can't bear rugby scrums or long queues!

So do I, but even that can be quite challenging sometimes.....

Why don't the supermarket just reduce it less, so demand = supply? If they really want to sell a bargain, hand them out, 1 or 2 per customer, and limit the amount each can buy at the till.

Could turn it into a sport so they have an obstacle course to go through first, followed by a battle for different size trollies and baskets with not enough to go round, then 100m sprint to the discount shelf. Saturday night TV at it's best "The Discount Food Games"

You could be on to something there

Yep, but with more work for less reward and a 100 contestants .

Just looks like a MINOR scuffle, not a single person got SHOT so barely even a fight in America.

 

[symyjym]

If you're going to get involved in these things it's best to carry a tazer gun.

My son tells me these are all amateurs compared to the reduced section in any supermarket based on a University Campus

I used to do these reductions, thankfully not on the meat (people are ****ing mental when it comes to meat). It is usually right at the end of the day when the food is about to go past its sell by date so it's either being sold or chucked away, usually, the prices do remain relatively high as if the people doing the ordering have done their jobs properly there will be only a few left. But when they over order, there can sometimes be crates of the product left a day before the sell by date, that is when you see scenes like this.
