Hey! Thanks for the comments guys and gals,
Retromom, you do spy Vaporesse in Original BLue and Lily and RIceflower Scents, I love it TBH although I hardly buy it because Im not keen on putting it in my steam generator and at the minute the tumble dryer is getting me out of the ironing more and more lately!
I find it hardly scents the fabrics but for a nice room freshener whilst ironing its fantastic.
Also Ive been known to put some in a plant spray bottle (now they discontinued the ~Comfort Refresh spray) to use as a non aerosol airfreshener, aerosols aggrevate my asthma and I have to steer clear of them at all costs.
The own label detergents sell pretty well although they do have a lot to desire in terms of performance, the powders are ok but I would steer clear of the liquids after observing a wash in Mums LG with Tesco Non Biological Liquid with no suds and dire stain removal.
I was so tempted to start an arguement, show her this website and tell her to shush up while I reset the machine to 95*c, popped in 3 Persil tablets and restore her whites back to white.
Oxydolfan. thanks for the comments, I like a nice tidy aisle - its amazing just how much more we sell when its tidy and anyway when I get chance to "Face Up" or "Rack Down" the aisle its an excuse for a good look at the packets and the occasional sniff.
Nick, Ariel with Febreze is such a dissapointment.
It smells no different to the regular Bio Ariel (we had some in a few weekas ago which was merchandised last week and sold through. Tesco wont be stocking it by the looks of it as we had only 2 cases sent in for some reason) and is no doubt something quickly thought up to catch some of the sales Persil have been robbing them of. Infact its actually probably the same powder in a different box.
The liquitabs however are slightly different in colour to the regular Bio Liquitabs but then they are pretty obvious to prospective buyers when sat next to eachother on the shelf.
Maybe if PandG put some thought into producing products that work for real people in real life they may boost sales (Persil here sells 3 times to what Ariel sells in Crewe) but whilst Ariel is working great on a white shirt I have at low temps, I am washing it on its own with a full dose of Ariel and giving it an hour soak first.
The minute Ariel goes near more than half a load or even less its cleaning power is non existant - The Australian Radiant Im on ATM does not contain bleach yet still manages to shift stains Ariel wont touch.
There was an issue with Surcare FS at the depot which serves us, we just assumed it was in short supply but It has been pulled from the shelves and none of the supermarkets are stocking it here now. Wilko's have a small supply left but I guess when its gone its gone.
Seamus! I will be ahving nightmares after seeing them Shelf Egde Labels now! bloody Morrisons, made my life hell for 6 months after the Safeway takeover sob sob! No ethics in that company whatsoever.
Walking out and getting 1 up on a self righteous bullying Deputy Manager was one fine moment in my life.
He was put on an anger management course after the Personnel manager spoke to me on the phone begging me to come back, I refused and hung up.
I was a fishmonger, and that meant to be setting up the fish counter at 6am the following morning. The only member of staff in at that time capable of doing it which no doubt cost them a few sales but hey ho. PML
Only good thing about the job was I quite liked the boater hat..... weirdo LOL.
Into Tesco the week after and never looked back LOL.
Shame its the only shop in Crewe to sell Persil TTHW without travelling 2 miles to Nantwich to get it in Sainsburys.
I force myself to go in there although its not the branch I was at.
Rant over about that company.
Erm where was I?
Oh yes, about to stick kettle on after all this typing for a cup of Washing Machine Tea!
Caffeine Detox week this week so im pretty grouchy. Just as well this stuff tastes nice.
