TescoThis time last year, I took my very first independent trip into Tesco having moved into my own house and now unfortunately needing to feed myself three times a day for seven days a week. After revelling in the freedom for a while (and removing most of the chocolate and biscuits I could now buy as my sole sustenance from my trolley) I decided to do the sensible thing and buy some proper food, and grabbed a packet of Chicken (free range, being the conscientious bastard I am) at £5 a pop.
Go home, and decide to the check the receipt. The bastards had charged me twice! On running out of beer, I headed back, clutching my receipt, and headed to the customer service desk. No questions asked, they not only refunded the £5 for the chicken I never had, but then gave me another £5 - as is company policy. All entirely legitimate as well.
Unfortunately I'm too nice to go evil on Tesco, but a fortune (plus lots of free food) could be made if you have lots of Tescos close to you, are careful with your visiting time, and don't look like a heinous pikey.

ProfitTesco made £2,800,000,000 in profit last year (to April '08), i.e. about £45 for every person in the UK. Its turnover accounts for about one third of all grocery spending in the UK. In spite of the 'credit crunch', its profits actually rose from the previous year.
Somebody is getting rich...
