A Tesco-Story
As I said very early on in the blog (find the entrance, here), I don’t think this blog should choose sides, or praise some brands while slagging off other ones, so I am going to discuss a supermarket chain, but will not say it’s name, just so we are not biased and stop buying food there. I am just trying to be neutral, and at the end of the day you might like or buy in that supermarket chain, so better be safe than sorry. I mean, we all buy in Tesco at some point right?
I finally got my Tesco-card the other day through the post. I mean the Tesco-points Tesco-card. Know the one? That Tesco-card you get Tesco-points everytime you shop at Tesco. Well, I had been after one of them for years. I kid you not! I applied for one of this Tesco-cards through the Tesco-form you can get at a Tesco store or through the Tesco website, around two years ago, but never got it sent to my house. When I moved flats, I applied again, with another of the Tesco-forms, but they ignored me once again. And at the beginning of the year, while shopping at Tesco, my sister and I got another Tesco-form to apply for the Tesco-card (since I had changed again from flat, and never had gotten the last one), and three months later (ie, today) I got the Tesco-card through. I was over the Tesco-moon! After three Tesco-cardless-months, I finally had a Tesco-card! How tesco-tastic is that!
But hey ho, turns out is not my Tesco-card… With all the tesco-excitement of finally getting my own Tesco-card, it turns out that it is for the precious Tesco-lodgers of my Tesco-flat. Those who Tesco-moved three Tesco-months ago. Tesco-darn I say! So, yes. I do have a Tesco-card. You would think a supermarket chain would want its clients to be happy and would try anything they can to keep them coming to its shops… Alas, no, it’s not for Tesco-me. I’ve resigned to the idea that I am not getting a Tesco-card to my Tesco-name ever… But even though I know this, I also know that, Tesco-months or Tesco-years from Tesco-now, when I move from this Tesco-flat, I will be filling in another Tesco-form to get another Tesco-card. ‘Cos that’s how Tesco-stupid I am.

Dude, your post was of Tesckpirian quality! I needed some cheering up and decided to check out if the stork, the guinea pig or the elephant had written anything new and voila! It was worth the visit
PS. Can’t you use the Tesco-card in the other people’s name anyway? Later on when they send you the points/vouchers you could still use them, no?

or you could get a tesco-additional tesco-card from your tesco-fantastic tesco-sister

Both options are indeed possible, and both option will indeed be studied by my team of neurons in charge of all Tesco-related issues. Thank you for your input.
