My pet hate about Tesco and other stores are self service tills...I hate them and will not use them, job stealing machines...
There's only myself and her in the house now, the kids have flown the nest. I do, like yourself like the products and have the same feeling about self service. The local B&Q has followed suit.

Wouldn't it be great if you were able to catch people as they've done this.

I'd happily bury a shopping trolley in their car if they went to leave.

Sorry you have to deal with that Steve.

I was waiting for the wife outside Asda and saw a car bump another car and drive off only to park in another part of the car park when they realised what they had done, I took her number and left it on the screen of the car that was bumped don't know if anything happened though. I am not normally a grasser but I know how it feels its so infuriating. I have a small dint above the rear wheel arch thanks to some ignorant ***

Sorry to hear about your mirror. It always seems very hectic at any of the big shops at this time of year, and I just try to keep out of the way as best I can.
I hope that you can sort your mirror easily, and ideally, that the person who damaged it is found.

Sorry to hear this.

Absolutely boils me weewee when I come back to the car and there's a fresh don't or scratch.

I can sometimes understand dints because when the wind is up it's too easy for a door to swing open. A little careless I know be most of us do it once.
However, when someone barges past the mirror or even catches it with their car it make me furious that someone can be so careless.

Most car mirrors are smaller than they used to be, so how close do people get to cars? Just careless driving. If they can't park they shouldn't be on the road. Basic maneuvers at the end of the day...

Very annoying, does more often or not seem to be Tesco's for some reason whenever you hear this sort of problem.

Funny you mention it my wife came home from Asda last night with a lovely big dent behind the drivers door from someone who reversed out of a space into her, while she was stationary in queuing traffic! Then the eejit gets out and says "sorry my parking sensors didn't bleep". It was torrential rain and I am pretty sure that the handbook tells you not to rely on sensors they are merely a parking "aid". Then he gave her the old guffaw about not using insurance. I told her to get straight onto her insurance first thing!

Sorry to hear this Steve,I know how you are feeling,some lowlife put a huge scrape in my rear bumper at Tesco 2 weeks ago.

Supermarket car parks are a magnet for these idiots.

This is the reason why I fold my mirrors in when I am in any car park, I know its a pain in the you know what, but it does prevent these being damaged when people squeeze through. Small car parking bays and big 4x4 are not a good combination.
