What annoys me is that there are a number of people here that want to condemn Tesco and blame them for everything.... The young lad who had the accident appears to be highly contributory for this accident and therefore should accept the greatest percentage of the blame that this accident even happened at all. I am sorry to be somewhat controversial here but we should accept ownership for what happens to us and our children and not try to offload onto the likes of Tesco in such a situation.

Before anyone asks.... I have no connection with Tesco [-X

I do agree with that; this is why i don't agree with always trying to claim everytime anything happens; the only people who win are lawyers.

That said I agree with the other comments; there should be facilities. Just because they did not cause the accident doesn't mean they can't learn from it.

I will admit I misread it at first; I didn't realise it said first aid 'room' that is probably a bit much but there should be a designated space.

After a few mins of walking around, my wife was pushing our little one in the trolley. She leaned forward to give him a kiss and "CRACK" an electrostatic shock. It made my wifes lips very sore, and Little Toby's face red and swollen. We asked to see a first aider who checked them both over, toby's face looked quite sore and he was crying. I had to ask for it to be reported in the accident book, which had been missing for a few days.

Tesco's, missing accident books, not unusual going by some of the safety rep's reports I've seen.
Some managers are suspected of locking them away so they can keep them from being used and avoid risking loosing their 'accident free' bonus...

Unfortunately we were out, but my wifes going to call them monday.

One point was, a couple of the staff involved said they often hear of people getting shocks, but the manager said "Oh, thats never happened here before"  :rolleyes:

I frequently get shocks from trolleys. What I don't know is whether this is caused by the trolley or whatever clothing I'm wearing at the time. The only way to avoid it is to keep one finger hooked over the metalwork, that way static doesn't get a chance to build up.
