14 Problems Only Tesco Employees Will Understand

The magical adventures of a supermarket worker beg to be explored!

"Working in any supermarket comes with baggage" is one joke which seriously needs to go away. Quite honestly, there isn't one joke uttered about shopping that people who have worked in supermarkets find funny, they kinda' lose their appeal once they've been said approximately 1,567,345 times per day. Specifically, Tesco comes in for a lot of "banter" from the average UK citizen, who somehow feel that the person working for minimum wage really gives a damn about what they think about the company. Digressing somewhat, perhaps these woes come with the territory - people see that gorgeous blue uniform, and instantly feel like they have a direct line to the company director. This is just one of the problems faced by those who decide/are forced against their will at gunpoint to work for Tesco. It's a unique vibe, working in the industry that seemingly never takes a break. From smaller Express stores, to large 24 hour shops, each different Tesco has their own peculiar quirks. Contained in this list are some of the funniest, some of the most bizarre, and some of the more frankly tiresome things which happen to every Tesco worker. It's an interesting life, but one which leaves you wondering why you'd bother getting out of bed, and questioning the sanity of the general public.
