I was in our local Tesco superstore yesterday afternoon.
Naturally it was thronged but there were lots of staff milling around answering questions etc.
I went to look at the Kindles as I might get one for Christmas.I was horrified to find hard core gay porn movie playing on one of the Kindle Fires. This was on the main display on the main aisle not on the smaller on in the side aisle. I have never seen gay porn before and felt really shocked to my core.Really shaky if you know what I mean.
Not wanting to leave the machine unattended, I tried to get the attention of one of the milling staff but they were too wrapped up in a deep conversation with a customer about phones and I felt deliberately didn't catch my eye .I then hot footed it to the customer services but it was several deep with people returning items etc.
I actually hopped from foot to foot in agitation as I fully expected some young teenager to have discovered the movie by now as it was so accessible.
Finally I got a young female staff member to follow me to the kindles .She was also really shocked and ran to get another staff member.He shrugged and told her to just turn it off.She ran back and yanked the machine from its moorings( the alarm didnt even go off !) and took it away.
I was sort of shadowing her to make sure steps were taken but she nor the man acknowledged me at all .
AIBU to ask Tesco for an apology and undertaking that this sort of thing will not happen again. I am going cold with the thought that on almost any other Saturday it could have so easily have been DD (12) seeing that movie.
I was, and still am, pretty shocked. Please dont tell me I should accept gay porn as a normal part of a Saturday afternoon shopping experience.
