About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of bananas, he heard an old lady shout from inside: ‘Hey, wait! These aren’t my usual Tescos!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously and whispered, 'Ma’am, they’re exactly your usual Tescos—just from a different branch.' The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said, 'Oh dear, I must be going senile. Could you please put them in my bag?' And so, with a gentle laugh, she walked out, leaving behind a relieved delivery driver who never forgot to double-check his deliveries again.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a night stocker was restocking the cereal aisle when he noticed something peculiar: every box seemed to be whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them clearly say, ‘Buy me!’ Suddenly, the boxes formed an orderly queue, each whispering its brand and flavor. By dawn, our night stocker had created the ultimate shopping list—everyone in Tesco agreed it was quite the best day for cereal ever.

3. At midnight, when only the night manager remained, a box of cereal started whispering its ingredients. Suddenly, another box joined in, and soon the entire aisle was humming with voices. The night manager, confused but not alarmed, calmly turned on some classical music—immediately silencing the cereal chorus. From that day on, Tesco played Mozart every evening at closing time.

4. In the quiet aisles of Tesco supermarket, a regular once asked aloud, ‘Who’s been stealing our apples?’ Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver cleared his throat and replied, ‘Why, that pesky ghost from the frozen food section, of course!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another Tesco tale. The regular shook hands with the driver and said, “Thanks for putting up with us.”
