Slice of bad luck

This Tesco customer just got into a bizarre online argument with the supermarket giant… over bag of carrot batons

Twitter user Aaron Swift was asked by Tesco's social media manager to give a detailed review and his complaint was hilarious

A TESCO customer, who wasn't happy with his carrot sticks, was asked by the store's social media manager to let them know exactly what was wrong with the product.

Self-proclaimed 'carrot aficionado', Aaron complained to the supermarket chain on Twitter after he was left disappointed by the quality of the snack.

Aaron, who’s a regular customer at the Tesco supermarket in Manchester, even went as far to say that Tesco's carrot sticks were the worst on the market.

So, to express his disappointment, Aaron uploaded a photo of the carrot sticks to the store.

His post read: “As some may know I am somewhat a carrot aficionado and it has to be said that these Tesco batons are the WORST.”

After seeing the complaint, Tesco's social media team responded within 15 minutes but they made the mistake of asking Aaron to elaborate on the issue.

And it’s fair to say that Aaron didn't hold back, after just 45 minutes, he had laid out each carrot on a white piece of paper and had provided a representative cross sample of the carrot batons in the bag.

 

The carrot fan then went on to write in depth reasons why each of the 16 batons were unsatisfactory.

Some of Aaron's comments included: ""infected", "curly", "yellow" and "92% water".

Soon after the complaint, Tesco asked Aaron to elaborate on the issue and he got back to them with a very detailed diagram

Unfortunately, of the 16 carrots, only two were named "decent" and after all of his efforts, the supermarket giant finally stepped down.

In response, they said: “Thanks for getting back to me. I’m really sorry about the poor quality of these carrots.

“I’d like to get you refunded and report this to our suppliers.”
