Tesco Online
I can't actually encapsulate this in 160 letters because it's one of those things I find really irritating, and because it's grocery shopping it means it's really irritating on a weekly basis.
And the cause of my irritation? The fact that the Tesco online shop does not work properly in Firefox.
Every week, I go to the site to book my delivery slot and 9 times out of 10 when I click on an option, instead of serving up the appropriate webpage I get a dialogue box asking whether I want to save the page. Something with an .aspx suffix, which (as I understand it from Doug) should actually be spelled .shit.
And so I have to trog off to Internet Explorer and use that. Which I don't want to do, as I understand that it is a VERY BAD THING and WILL TURN YOUR LAPTOP INTO THE EVIL COMPUTER FROM WARGAMES. Or something.
Anyway, I find it really irritating that the UK's biggest supermarket can't make its online store work in the UK's second biggest browser, one that is used by almost 20% of the population.
Every little helps? I think not.

You could change supermarket. That would show them.
I suppose I could. However, iirc Asda have a much more limited choice of produce and I'm loathe to use Sainsburys as they were always so flakey when we used to use them. We don't do Waitrose in N Yorks (unless you're in Harrogate).
I could also drive and shop in person, but I end up spending £40 more on average when I go in person.
So I'll probably carry on moaning about Tesco :)
I use Sainsburys which works fine. I have turned off all substitution because clearly the guys in charge of substitution do not know anything about anything.
I have shopped a couple of times at Tesco's using Firefox, without any problems. Perhaps you need a new version, or there is something about your settings that is wrong?
latest version of Firefox, nowt wrong with my settings.
the asp issue with firefox is a known issue. just depends whether whoever is coding up a site is willing to invest the time to get it to render properly in firefox.
Not so sure it is the website at fault, seems to be a bug in Firefox 3 see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462861
tesco online is truly shit I cannot be the only person out there who has spent loads of time on the phone between tesco and my bank they have this verification thing that nobody else has and it does not work.......Think I will go to aldi/Coop anywhere but Tesco.Oh and a good percentage of their staff are crap too.Their fall from the NO1 slot will happen
