Just a quick question folks - do all Tesco's close early on a Sunday (those round here shut at 4 or 5)??

Superstores, yes (England anyway). Express stores, no.

Although i cant understand why this one works, and the last one doesnt....I think they're identical.

I think it's best to not underestimate or insult the intelligence of your customers.

Found this today
"High street supermarket Tesco believes thermal imaging technology designed to cut queues in store helped to grow the chain’s half-year profits to almost £1.1bn.
Chief executive Sir Terry Leahy says the Smartlane camera system is part of its ‘One in Front’ campaign that seeks to minimise waiting time for customers.
‘The heat seeking cameras sense the number of customers entering a store and predict the checkouts that need to be open in an hour,’ said Leahy.
‘We can monitor and manage the service customers get much more precisely, by customer, by store and by the minute.’
The Irisys Smartlane system uses ceiling mounted infra-red sensors above checkout lanes to detect the number and behaviour of customers at the checkouts.
It analyses behaviour and automatically calculates the average queue length, wait time and overall store performance. Displaying real-time queuing data on the shop floor enables the retailer to deploy staff to react quickly to potential queuing issues.
Attila Winstanley, productivity director, says ensuring the best service at checkouts is one of Tesco’s core disciplines and challenges.
‘Historically, we have manually captured data on queue lengths at the checkout, but accuracy levels were varied,’ she said. ‘Smartlane accurately captures performance in real time, allowing managers to deliver better levels of service.’ "

MONITOR BEHAVIOUR!!! Watch out all shifty looking people! HaHaHa. What will they come up with next? Looks like Amishi knows things we don't

If you check the properties of each, the first one is missing a few letters.

Found this as well. Someone was talking about this a while ago I think

"Tesco is extending trials of electronic shelf-edge labelling with a view to installing it at certain counters in all UK stores.
The supermarket giant has been testing the wireless technology to instantly update and check prices at its delicatessen counters against competitors.
It has deployed ZBD’s electronic display to allow it to update any form of rich text content, such as graphics, logos, promotional offers and price changes instantly. The displays are linked wirelessly to in-store systems with a 100-metre range.
‘There is no need for paper tickets to be sent in from head office,’ said Tesco counter operations manager Mark Green.
‘Price changes can all be done in the back office, which filters through to the scales on the delicatessen counter and is communicated to the labels.’
The electronic labelling is simpler for staff to update, reduces the time involved in checking prices, cuts paper use and has been 100 per cent accurate so far.
‘The main benefit is in improved customer service, as they get up-to-date pricing and information, but staff also save time and can better serve our customers,’ said Green."Tesco is extending trials of electronic shelf-edge labelling with a view to installing it at certain counters in all UK stores.
