Tesco worker reveals 11 things staff want to tell you - but they're banned

An ex-supermarket worker shared their biggest bug bears from working in Tesco and the 11 things they really wish they could have said to customers but couldn't. Busy supermarket staff work around the clock to make sure we can buy all the tasty treats and essentials we need. But as well as stacking the shelves, working the tills and serving up fresh items at the speciality counters, the main part of the job is dealing with customers. While we would like to hope everyone is polite, kind and understanding all the time - we imagine this probably isn't the case. In fact, according to one former employee people can be downright rude, Kent Live previously reported in 2019. Having spent many years working in a Tesco store, the member of staff lifted the lid on the things they would love to say to shoppers - but were not allowed to. Some are funny and interesting, but others are really eye-opening.
You're early, that's great. But unfortunately when we open at 7am, that means 7am. I'm sorry if it's raining, or you're cold. But looking at me with a face like thunder isn't going to speed this process up. I'm not deliberately going slow - it's just busy in here.
Feel flattered I'm asking you to prove you're old enough to buy that bottle of vodka, because I'm not doing it for fun. They aren't the most flattering items of clothing to wear, but they are amazingly warm in those chilly winter months. Those yellow stickers are coming out, and its like shoppers can smell them a mile off.
