Smelly Woman Horse Rider Kicked out of Tesco's !!

I hate Tescos. This is another reason I don't shop there! Call me a snob, but I cannot bear their attitude and refuse to shop there stinking or not.

I have gone into M & S, Waitrose & Fortnum & Masons (don't ask - my sister worked there) in stinky horse clothes and have never been made to feel like I shouldn't be there.

I had a girl I worked with (I work in an office & this was when I was on DIY) asked me if I had a horse, I said yes, I did thinking she was interested and she replied 'I thought so, you stink of one' so I replied that it cost me 4 1/2 grand to smell like this and Eau de Cheval is one of the most expensive perfumes I have. Actually.

I dare them to try it with me!

or put on your poshest voice and demand to speak to the manager re' the harrasment of horsy people being singled out as dirty, when there are far far worse as above.

This would be me! i'm not embarrassed about making a rather large scene if i dont like something. normaly get my way as well. If the manager didnt sort it then a rather sharp letter would be winging its way to main office and a hate campaign would organise a boycott in the local horse communitee, there are enough of us that our local tesco would seriously suffer if we all went to the local asda instead.

I love going in the supermarket with my muddy smelly gear on, I feel its payback for when I go in all nice and clean and have to put up with revolting body odour and noisy out of control brats running round causing havoc.

I know its a revolting things to do but if I notice people looking me up and down and talking about me in the queue, I stick my finger up my nose and look at them!
 
Well the next time I see someone with dirty builders hands touching the veg, or the next time i see a snotty nosed brat handling the bread...
You know who'll be screaming blue murder

OFGS whatever next. The shop I work in has quite a lot of farming customers and you should smell some of them (no disrespect to any farmers on here)

And its more than just mud they leave on the carpet. I have been in a queue in Tescos behind some people with a real BO problem, can't see it going down to well if I complained about their smell

Sorry if I am repeating anything, but I have skipped the last three pages (sorry) but I have frequently been into tesco and many others shops where the Staff follow some of the 'less clean' travelling comunity with spray air fresheners. No asking them to leave!! (And I am not saying all travellers stink)
 
QR - I used to work at a yard 5 mins from tesco and turned up every lunch time covered from head to toe in straw, muck and mud. No one ever said anything

Although my friend from the yard was on the bus on the way home and overhead someone whispering into their mobile '....and I'm stuck sitting next to a disgusting stinky tramp!' Seeing as there were no real tramps on the bus, she had to assume he was talking about her. LOL.
 
I nearly cried laughing at that article!! If I am going to the yard in the afternoon, I get up and get dressed in jodphurs. I go to the supermarket in them, the library, the corner shop... etc etc. I take my boots off at the door of the library and at the shop - only cos he shouts at me "No horse [****] in here lady!" 4 of us from the yard went straight from the yard to a restaurant for lunch and they couldn't care less. I'd rather smell horses than the body odour of some of the shelf stackers
 
The funny thing is....tesco's sell riding gear!!! Why bother if they have a problem with horsey people?! Ha ha.

We get some REALLY smelly people in at our work. There used to be a fish factory down the road and people would come in with their fish chopping up gear on....the smell was just horrendous. But, the worst is this huge man that comes in every Friday afternoon. You know when you smell something so bad that you actually gag....well that's him. I swear he's never had a bath. The worst is in Summer when the sweat drips everywhere....YUCK. Anyway, we keep a can of air freshener on hand for a large spray after he's gone....(also found that a pre-visit spray is good as he's always in at the same time) and a pack of antibacterial wipes in the Summer. We'd never dream of asking someone to leave. I go in Asda/Tesco all the time in Horsey gear and no-one has ever said anything.
 
If the shops round here did that they would be half empty! It never even occurs to me to change to go shoping - especially when you work full time and time at the weekends when time is short. I hose of the worst of the mud and thats it!! Still like I say round here I'm not sure anyone even notices...
 
Years ago when I was training at a yard near Baildon, all us students use to go in the local co-op after yard duties to get supplies.

They complained, not to us but to our yard owner.

Who promtley took us all down to the co-op & gave the manager a right lecture of her having to stand and queue behind people stinking of be-o & old people off pee (no offense to old people).

We never had a complaint again!

Though I am not a fan of the co-op as they are against a hobbie of mine!

Our local supermarket Booths I have been into covered in mud (as do alot of people round here, farmers, builders & horse people.) OK I call in if I am passing & not make a specific trip in my gear. They have never said boo. They all smile & are very poliet & the manager usually wishes me a good days hunting or shooting. Mind I called in one night on my way out all done up & the manager didn't recognize me at first, till I spoke!
Oh forgot to mention that the manager is a dear friend! I grew up with her 2 sons in our village, have know her all my life!
 
How ridiculous!!

When it's been raining, do they make all customers take their shoes off at the door??

Or perhaps they could provide a slosh bucket??

I usually go into Tesco's have ridden.....always go and wash my hands in their loos first....perhaps I should wash my boots too?

Their sinks are low enough to get my leg up into, as there's no way I'm taking my boots off and standing in my clean socks on their toilet floor!!!

God lord no!! To think that chickens are not born on a plastic container and wrapped in cling-film and that all fruit and veg are not perfectly shaped - ridiculous I tell you! What ever next? That milk comes from cows?
