chem1st Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sponsored Facebook poll run by TESCO doing the rounds at the minute; Tesco Mobile asked: Your teenager racks up an enormous phone bill. Do you: 1. Lock away the mobile and throw away the key 2. Ground them until their 30th 3. Change contracts 4. Make them repay every penny in hard labour Why would Tesco suggest hard labour?

Jotunn 68 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It'd probably act as the best deterrent for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I wouldn't let them have a contract phone in the first place! Unless they could have it in t heir own name, in which case it would be up to them to find the money to pay the bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmaximus Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sponsored Facebook poll run by TESCO doing the rounds at the minute; Why would Tesco suggest hard labour? Because it’s the best way to teach someone the value of money and free money just encourages dependency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipschitz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ah! Remember the days before mobiles? Simpler times...but you couldn't watch youtube on the bus to work!! On a serious note, cap a teenagers contract or don't give them one...simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howden Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sponsored Facebook poll run by TESCO doing the rounds at the minute; Why would Tesco suggest hard labour? Its an advertising campaign and you fell for it. I would not have known about it until you mentioned it. I am sure they are grateful to you, every little bit helps.

Mr Bloom Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It's a bit of a stupid suggestion, considering the number of people turning their back on Tesco since their 'workfare' involvement. Doesn't hurt to remind people why they stopped shopping there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
