    That doesn't mean anything.

    If you go on the Tesco website it doesn't tell you every company they own.

    Of course it does, http://www.tescoplc.com/

    McDonalds is part of the Starbucks group of franchises anyway. It is just a scam.

    what has this got to do with macdonalds being a resturant?

    McDonalds, Subway and Starbucks are all the same group owned by Pepsi.

    How does that make it a scam? Wow.

    You're off your rocker, aren't you?

    (slightly unrelated, but did you known Walkers crisps are owned by PepsiCo, and Wiskers cat food is owned by Mars?) :cool:

    And you are, of course, wrong. See if you can work out why for yourself. It isn't difficult. :)

    Did JS, ADSA a while ago get charged for pricing fix of milk. Some thread on here about it. Thus in every instance they are not allowed.

    While not a shop. BT were not allowed to under cut there rivals quite a few years ago before the new formed telephone company got some customers?
    There will be quite a few instance like this. So they can charge what they want all the time for everything. Some products yes. Just not everything.

    While if they want to charge 100000000 for beans, they can theory, but realistically they will not stay in business for very long at those price. Unless some one buys a tin, then their be the worlds richest company.
