I've not used Tescos for many years and for many reasons, they are a despicable company who bully suppliers into working for next to nothing, I know I was that supplier many years ago, facilities manager basically said to me 'if you don't like the contract F*** off, plenty more two bit companies like yours to choose from'


What a nice chap eh?

OH WOW ... that's how customers are treated now.

But (and I'm genuinely not trying to offend Tesco customers) why oh why do people moan about them and then carry on shopping there?????? the mind boggles, I know they wont miss my £100-150 a week food/fuel shopping spree but imagine if a few thousand people shared my view.


Things only change for the better when these type of companies get hit hard by customers voting with their feet!!!

As I have said elsewhere in this forum, the problem is circulatory.

In one town, one supermarket employs scammers so customers drift to another shop which is not infested.

In another town, it is the second store that is infested, but a third is free from parasites.

What happens in each town is that sales drop in one store and increase in another, but this is negated in another town where the store that might be free from infestation in one place is infested in another.

Customers just move around when they get hit, but overall the profits of each supermarket chain are unaffected because nationally the same number of people shop in each store.

Where I live, Sainsbugs, Tesco's, Lidl, Co-oP, Aldi, M & S and Associated Dairies are infested, but Waitrose and Morrison's are not.
Consequently we only shop at Mr M's emporium.

In other towns, Mr M's will be infested but perhaps not Sainsbugs, so the shopping dynamic in that town changes, but nationally it makes no difference.

I am actually quite disappointed. I have been provoking the PPCs that infest both my local Sainsbury's and Co-oP for years by deliberately parking in P & C bays without a child, and disabled bays without displaying a BB, but all to no avail. I am still a PCN virgin.:o
