Tescos - up to their old tricks as usual

A._Badger

Whatever its fan club likes to pretend, the public has already begun to vote with its feet - Tesco's recent figures prove that.

The Aldi Lidl 'rebellion' (I'm not a participant - I can't stand either of them) is just one manifestation of people reacting against decades of Tesco's growing market dominance and spivvish image.

How far the rot will go is anyone's guess, but Tesco's poor showing during the horesemeat lasagne saga didn't suggest that it has learned its lesson.

Except they are not going to anywhere with a different policy. Are Sainsbury not riding the apparent turmoil - yet they are just as dishonest and obnoxious with their pricing. I see no evidence of public voting.

What about Markses? Local name for M & S makes me laugh;)

Hehe, a lot of people here call M&S that too. Oh, and Asda is often referred to as "Asdal", or more commonly, "Asdal's" - now that one makes me want to scream.

So which other supermarkets call in the police to gas their customers before carting them off in the black maria then?

Get a grip... The police made a decision based on the facts at the time they attended... Tesco had no part in their operational decision making. You're reacting like a hysterical witch finder!
