I have just checked my CC statement and it shows something like "Tesco Stores Manchester GB" I haven't been to Manchester for about a year now and I don't remember visiting Tesco last month. There is no store id for some reason, which looks strange to me - normally I go to Waitrose and there is always the unique number. I am wondering if HSBC might be displaying Tesco transactions in a different way? (It could be that my memory fails me, there was crazy workload recently...)

    Gave you bought anything online from Tesco?

    They often default to a single standard location.

    The statement says "card present - no pin entry", so doesn't look like an online transaction to me.

    Petrol, chemist, photo booth/prints?
    Tesco insurance?
    Tesco stores usually have the number after them, so this will be something else.

    Rather than something like. Can you give the full & proper description. Might make a big difference.
