.... one of the richest countries in the world
As long as you take part in the scheme, you perpetuate the myth that it Tesco are being great corporate citizens by dropping a few crumbs from the table. By avoiding the scheme, you send a message that schools aren't going to be bought off with a few crumbs.I understand that schools don't want to be seen to be promoting a particular company, and don't want children pressured into having to collect tokens, but this policy just seems daft to me. Yes the scheme is great advertising for Tesco, and its helping to fill a funding gap, but the government wouldn't suddenly increase funding if these types of schemes didn't exist. It smacks of cutting off your nose to spite your face!! Tescos have committed to spending a certain amount of money for every €10 spent, ie per token. If customers are not passing these tokens on to schools then its only the children who lose. It would be stupid if people were doing their shopping in Tesco solely to collect the tokens, but if you're doing your shopping there anyway then whats the harm? I have no connection to Tesco, and don't even have any children, but always make sure that I take the tokens when offered. There's always a parent or two in work very willing to take them off my hands!!
