Correspondance with Tesco: My Second Letter

Posted by Mark Tiddy On January - 4 - 2009 3 COMMENTS

Readers of this blog will know of my on going issues with Tesco which started by reading a book all about their practices and looking into some of their interesting tactics, this then led on to ‘Correspondance with Tesco Part 1‘ in which I wrote to them informing them that I would no longer be shopping at their stores.

Shortly after they responded with a reply to my original letter which I post under the title ‘Correspondance with Tesco: Response’. Finally I have replied to their letter with the following reply, attempting to challenge their silence on the issues with their practices I highlighted in my original letter.

Dear John,

Firstly I would like to thank you for your reply to my original letter dated 17th November. I was glad to read that I have now been taken out of your Tesco.com and Tesco Clubcard schemes.

However in response to your letter dated the 7th December (ref: 8878436) I would firstly like to comment that the concern and disappointment you expressed in your letter would have seemed more genuine had you took the time to proof read the letter, in particular the opening paragraph which informed me that you were disappointed to find that I would be taking my ‘customer’ elsewhere.

I felt that this obvious lack of time over a reply made my comments nothing more than a result of a customer complaint procedure rushed through in the hope of quietening a disappointed customer.

Secondly in my first letter I made reference to your practices including the methods used by yourselves to obtain planning permission and the treatment of your suppliers both in the UK and oversees, I was disappointed that you had merely brushed over these comments and not made any effort to explain your policies and reasons for the exploitation of local councils, suppliers and farmers. I would very much like to hear your side of things on this matter.

I shall look forward to reading your reply and hearing what you have to say on these matters and I hope you can take on board the importance of proof reading.

Yours Sincerely

Mark Tiddy

    maybe, in an entry criticising proof reading – you should have proof read your own blog better?

    Lol, thanks and so true. Often I blog quickly and find I have no time to read through.

    I have now re-read and corrected a spelling mistake!

    That’s good.

    I can’t help being a pedant, and errors like that jump out at me :-)

    Welcome to pix by the way.
