Tesco are officially the worst supermarket!

Pigs liver has gone up to £1.75 from £1.50, and the clearance price of fruit and veg are dearer than normal prices in Lidl.
Also some odd products on the clearance shelves that I've never seen before.I think they hawk them round different stores until they get sold.


And I couldn't find the dried beans

Have to throw in my two cents as I've never had these problems!

With regard to click-and-collect, I used it a few times and everything was always packed nicely, and there was never a queue, I pulled up, gave my name and showed email, and they just loaded up my boot within a minute or two and off I drove!

We changed over to the delivery system a few months back, and when I choose a 10-11 delivery slot the driver has always arrived before 10.05 without fail. We have never had items missing, and any substitutes have always been much better, more expensive items but with a charge for the original item ordered.

Once we got a delivery and an egg was broken. The delivery guy was the one who noticed, and immediately scanned the eggs to process a refund, but still let me keep the remaining eggs that weren't broken after grabbing some tissue from his car and cleaning up the box.

Quality wise, I've not got any complaints. I do buy own brand and whilst some of it isn't excellent I wouldn't say it was any worse than equivalents I have bought elsewhere.

I realise some deals are a bit daft sometimes. There's been a few times I've been 'suggested' to buy eco-refills of coffee in the paper bags instead of jars, but because of an offer they were actually more expensive per 100g than the glass jar coffee! But ordering online makes it quite easy to spot what's what, and which offers are the best at any one time so I don't get caught out.

The CEO of Tesco is under pressure, and the Finance Director has left.
Huge piece in the Daily Telegraph, sinking ship and all that.

We prefer to do our shopping in person and have now largely stopped using Tesco because it is so difficult to navigate round all the big green trolleys with staff collecting home shopping orders. Unless and until they open a 'dark store' nearby so that this nightmare goes away I can't see us going back to them in a hurry

The problem I have with any of the supermarkets (and Tesco / Morrisons / ASDA all do it) is the amount of contempt they have for customers in regard to pricing.

The 'Buy 2 for the price of 1' ... except we've increased the price to nearly double trick, along with the 'well it was sold for 1 month at a store in the Falkland Islands' previous price crap.

There HAS to be a gap in the market for a store that makes a normal decent margin, yet sells products at a relatively cheap / reasonable price.

To see a product at 99p, then go back a week later and see it at £2.50 for 2 is like the shop is literally saying to me "Hello !!!!!!!!, you're an idiot aren't you'.

There is. They're called Aldi and Lidl.

What is going on at Tesco?How could they mislead the City,shareholders and general public about their profitability...?
Answer....because they're doing so badly and,by the way,the worst is still to come...
