Hi all I went shopping on my own early Saturday to avoid the rush, little did I know that a rat would rush past me :o, when the bloke who spotted it complained, the (agency) staff in that area seemed to laugh it off. When I was leaving the store I called for the manager, we'll see if any of them think its funny, because the manager didn't know anything about it. >:( ;D ;D ;D
That's another good reason not to go to Tesco's!
When I worked behind the scenes in Asda... some twenty years ago the place was teeming with them..
:-X
Ther will be a bar code on its back soon. Well they sell everything else!
Cornykev: I wish to complain to the highest authority about lack of customer care, and I demand to speak to someone at Board level.
Staff: I'm sorry sir, he's just rushed past you.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
believe me they're better than Sainsbury's at customer care + there are rats in all of them
rats will be anywhere humans are with there hugely wasteful habits :)
The rat population in the UK is roughly the same as the human one, so they're never far away.
You often see rats in our local Morrisons car park, but it's right next to a river and people say thats why, don't know if thats true.
The Asda was by the river... on an old mill site, the lodge was the car park and a lot of the leats were under the site!
::)
They say that at any one time and anywhere in Britain, a rat is only 3 metres away from you. :o
Im sure all the big 4 supermarkets are as bad as each other when it comes to rats and mice, i've seen them in plenty.. i've even heard of mice nesting in loaves of bread in one store i was working in once. The little blighters cause no end of greif chewing through network cables on the shop floor etc..
Last week, listening to my local radio station, they mentioned rats. The quiz was to guess which of 3 phrases was false. One phrase was:
within 18 months, 2 rats create over 100,000 more rats. I said to myself it must be the odd one out. I was wrong. Apparently its true :o :o :o

I bought a loaf of fresh bread from an independant bakers years ago. As I sliced it there was a black mark.....carried on slicing and it was a mouse that had been baked into the bread. The black mark was the tail :-X :-X :-X
Going back to Tesco, my hubbly delivers to large supermarkets and says the cleanest are Asda, all the others are littered with rubbish and rotting veg. These are the parts us public just dont see, Sainsbury's is probably the worst.
In my opinion it has more to do with location than the actual chain - up north the stores tend to be cleaner than down south (especially inside the M25).
the council offices where i clean on a evening is right next to a river and hasn,t had a rubbish collection for 8 weeks!!!the local shopping centre is a few hundred yards away

oh, that is sooooo gross.
I wonder how we compare with other countries?
so, Sainbury's "free from" range actually means free from rats, mice, nail clippings, and heaven's knows what else and as for finding a mouse baked in the bread, well this gives new meaning to 'baked in store'
how bad is that :o
Oh Star, that was horrible. Almost as bad as my mucky sis in law who was no housewife who was making toast and thought there was a loose wire looking out the toaster. It turned out to be a mouse she had been making the toast beside and the loose wire was its tail. ;D ;D ;D ;D
A mouse in the bread I can understand, but how do they get the tiger into tiger bread. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
