If they rebrand that'll probably be the point I close the TSB account I've had since I was 5 :'(

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Out of nowhere my local big tesco has £1 locks on the trolleys. Apparently they'd lost £8,000 of trolleys and that is the threshold for head office to snap.

The fact there was no posters in advance to give notice of this change, and no freebie tokens to give away, probably lost them thousands in ...

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10

Work is currently implementing a switchover to Windows 11. It's the first time we've had self service OS upgrades for Windows, previously its always been either a device swap or IT take it away for a day and re-image.

It's meant that there has been a need to buy new devices. Most laptops had ...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

If I’m going somewhere local I’ll nearly always just take my phone. I pay for practically everything on Apple Pay so the wallet is just clutter. In the event a shop had a fault I could always nip home and get my card.

If I’m heading to another town I’d take my wallet though as a just in case.

Re: What's going on with all this gender stuff?

This thread does seem to be going round in circles, which is apt given the subject matter.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread



The holsters for the scanner guns in M&S are infuriating. Why are they on the wrong way? They're such a clart to take the gun out and use it compared to the Tesco equivalent.


Aren't they the kind that work in a hands-free mode when they're mounted on the trolley holster? I presume that's the ...

Is that Tesco Pay+ formerly PayQuik? I wonder if that's because the Apple Pay / Google Pay limits (or lack thereof) have eroded the need for this.
