Tesco fricking Club Card / two tier pricing

AIBU to hate Tesco Clubcard App and the two tier pricing in store. It rely annoys me on principle that Tesco actively sets out to overcharge customers in store if they haven't got the app handy or the card, in which case, massive palaver at the tills. They do this so they can scrape your personal data. It just puts me off shopping there TBH.

Moan over. I'm in Tesco's car park as a I write as I've flounced out in outrage!

I don't go anymore. It's not about the difficulty of scanning the card. Although I don't like the pressure of remembering to scan it! And at ours, the mobile signal is poor so if it's on the app it sometimes doesn't open.

It just feels like trickery. I don't like to think of people not being able to understand the pricing.

  1. You don’t need to remember, it does that for you
  2. Just put it in your phone wallet, no need for signal
  3. It’s not deceptive, it’s very clearly stated

I hate it too. I don't really shop in Tesco and don't carry my purse around so I was desperately trying to get the app to download on holiday after realising my shopping was going to cost way more than it should. Actually put stuff back because I was in a poor signal area and couldn't get it to download.

the card is kept in my phone "wallet" and the till person always asks if you have it with you. I don't find it too complicated and I love the discounts.

So don’t go and let the rest of us be happy with cheaper pricing?

Or just put the Clubcard on your phone. It’s not hard Confused

Sainsbury is the same. I hate it. I just want to go, pay for stuff (much easier if they have a person on the till or enough people cover the self service tills when they don’t work) and go.

Sainsbury’s have just started the same thing with Nectar! Did my shop at the weekend, realised it was no cheaper than Ocado even with the 'Nectar prices' and thought fuck it I may as well keep having my shopping delivered

How is getting your card scanned - which takes a few seconds - a "massive palaver at the tills"?

She said if you don't have it handy, it causes a palaver! My local Tesco is very good, the staff just get another card and scan it so you still get the cheaper price.

I opt for any other store over Tesco (and Sainsburys) whenever I can due to this pricing stuff. I'm well aware that it won't affect either store in any way but it makes me feel a bit better. Since I got rid of my Clubcard and Nectar card I've hardly had any junk mail so we know what they do with the data they get!!

No it is awful and stopped going there unless I have no other option.

I agree, however I do love the price jumping down at the end.
