1. Order your groceries from tesco.com [making sure you tell Opera to pretend it’s IE or Mozilla first, as their rubbish browser-sniffing thinks you’re using a handheld device].

2. Include a box of eggs in your order.

3. Receive the delivery and wait until the van has left the area.

4. Ring up the helpline and tell them that the eggs were broken when you unpacked your shopping — they’ll apologise and refund the price of the eggs.

Wonder how many times I can get away with this [and what other readily-breakable items I can order]…

“Tesco helpline, may I help you?”
“Yes… *sniffs* .. I ordered five bottles of my favourite single malt [insert name of most expensive bottle] and ALL the bottles are broken”

OK, unlikely - do they although purchasing alcohol by delivery?

Re #1: Wha…? Judging by that last sentence’s structure, I’d say you’ve got a healthy supply of booze. :P

“Hello Tesco? ,,, yes, my problem is that I’ve just opened this bottle of Pinot Noir you delivered today and I’m afraid it’s corked … yes, tastes quite like vinegar I’m afraid…”
