OK, so maybe not love but I do like!

I like Tesco, I see no difference in Tesco than any other supermarket except for the fact that (what feels like) a million years ago I worked there. Don't get me wrong I didn't like sitting at a checkout all day on a Saturday, I can think of a billion much more interesting things I could have been doing - watching paint dry springs to mind! I got on well with most of my colleagues and managers (you'll find a few who rub you the wrong way anywhere!) we used to socialize a lot and it was great fun. My Mum still works there and has done since before I was born. They have great benefits and the pay wasn't too bad for retail work.
There I was the other day, minding my own business surfing the web - as you do - when I came across the best blog I have ever, ever seen!! I mean it was amazing!! It was all about Tesco's - no not tesco.com it was tesco-complaint.blogspot.com. They absolutely hate Tesco! It's a site for all who have had a bad experience with Tesco to moan - it's brilliant! All but one seem to hate Tesco ..... there is one individual who claims to be a Tesco Manager - I can't say he is although I would guess he must be! - and he is fantastic, he supports Tesco and attempts to rationalise with those that find Tesco an abomination be they employees, ex-employees or disgruntled customers. If this guy is not a manager at Tesco then he must love playing devils advocate.
Some of the complaints on there are ridiculous. They blame Tesco for just about everything.
Don't believe me? See for yourself ...... http://tesco-complaint.blogspot.com/
