There’s a Royal Navy base there as far as I know, they probably bungled their inspection/maintenance work while alongside. Still incredible levels of buffoonery, don’t know how the RN operates but part of standard departure proceedings in the merchant world is giving the engine a quick kick ahead and astern before you even think about coming off the berth or unmooring.

I am delighted we now have a boat expert in the thread, to pick up the slack by our over worked train posters. Do we have any truckers?

Julio Cruz posted:Tesco tech hitch leaves deliveries in 'shambles They cancelled our Tesco delivery today, 2 hrs after it was supposed to arrive. Promised a refund within a week. No actual harm done - but not comfortable with them holding onto the money for that long. Not going to hurt me, but there have to have been some cases where a family has spent most/all the remaining money that month (especially as many people get paid toward end of the month and its only 21st...) on their delivery, and have now been left with no food and no money left to buy anything in the meantime.

It's obviously the fault of the people who've spent every last penny they have on their now-cancelled order, and who can't rebook until the banking system refunds them 'in about a week'...

Surely a global multi-billion pound company could step in and cover any interim costs of delivering the cancelled orders. In doing so, they'd not risk upsetting a significant percentage of their regular customers, while also not risking starving people and families in the short-term. They have everyone's details, and at the moment, also their money... or could quite easily hold onto it.

Julio Cruz posted:you realise this is due to automated banking systems and not Tesco trying to drive their customers into bankruptcy, right Our health charity processes same day emergency grants to people in financial distress. An organisation certainly can take steps to prioritise financial transfers to people in need... If they give a poo poo. Julio Cruz posted:I don't really give a poo poo who blames whom, but suggesting that it's Tesco's decision how long to hold onto money for before refunding it is just not true Not taking any special effort to mitigate the impact of their technical cockup on people hardest hit counts as 'holding onto it' IMO.

Tigey posted:That's speculation. Unless you have access to their internal financial processes? except Tesco isn't a charity and doesn't issue grants to people, so yeah no poo poo it's more complicated for them because it's not part of their usual processes Tigey posted:I didn't suggest this was some moustache twirling decision to starve the proles/earn pennies of interest on the money for a few days more, I just said that they were holding onto it for a rather long time - long enough to potentially have an adverse financial impact on people living on the margin (January is often one of the toughest months for many). it's the standard amount of time any refund takes, because it's going through the same processes as any refund there's no big "speed up refunds" button that someone could be pressing but is choosing not to Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Jan 22, 2024 |

AceClown posted:exactly the same, instant, paid off my mortgage early this year and managed to transfer a 5 figure sum instantly It's not £000s, it's number of different transactions (ie customers) thousands and it happened on a weekend when probably almost all the accounting staff are not at work and almost certainly needs someone to set up the payment and someone else to authorize it unlike a personal account where you are the only person who needs to be present at your online banking app. I imagine it'll be all hands on deck tomorrow to get it sorted as soon as possible. Let alone identifying people who want to get a refund and others who may be prepared just to change the delivery date. And yes, it is awful for those who have not a penny more to buy food this month through no fault of their own and I don't know what the solution is, just get those refunds or groceries out to people asap.

I had to rescue my brown bin from the road twice and all the fences are down again. While recovering from covid and hacking up a lung. What a poo poo night. There was genuinely a moment when all the plastic recycling blew out into the street for a second time that I wanted to curl up into the bin and just give up. Hope all your houses are safe and well goons. I'm having a lemsip and going back to bed.

I know that when we have a tach issue we can usually organise a refund in 24 hours if it's going to cause fiscal hardship. If it isn't it can take about a week

I've actually had my tesco order cancelled like that in October last year or thereabouts, took about a month to get the money back and was fairly inconvenient. Either way I don't think this is that unusual for them. They have a very good delivery service though, good prices including store offers and aldi price match, can pick slots for a specific hour and they rarely substitute anything.
