I had the misfortune to shop in a very large Tescos today, something I rarely do. While I was there I noticed two things which disturbed me greatly, I am yet to decide which was worse.
First, while wandering around with Mrs Bear, I noticed a man in his thirties, with a child in a pushchair, pick up a jar of some curry sauce of some type or another. He then unscrewed the lid, gave the contents a good sniff, put the lid back on and then placed the jar back in the shelf before wandering off. What person in their right mind would think this is an acceptable thing to do?
Now you might think this should be the thing that disturbed me most but the fact is I have hope that this is a very rare and isolated incident and not likely to be repeated. Well, maybe, but its not a store where I usually shop and is also 70miles away from where I live most of the time.
No, what disturbs me more is when i reached the aisle we were actually looking for -yoghurts- we were presented with a huge and very varied selection of yoghurts with all manner of exotic flavours, except, when we looked a bit harder, the only yoghurt they had which was not low fat, was a small two portion natural greek yoghurt, there not even the option of buying a larger pot.
So much for Tescos improving choice.
