    There have been incidents during the crisis where Iceland have gone way beyond the call of duty for their customers. I would not be surprised if they have told Excel to back off during the crisis. This won't always happen. 
    If that is what you genuinely believe - I am wasting my time here 
    As I said this will not always be the case however we are in unprecedented times at the moment. Supermarkets are falling over themselves to attract new customers. I was given a bunch of flowers when I walked into one food hall. 

     What Iceland did for a friend of mine's relative was way, way beyond the call of duty. They now have another customer who may spend a few thousand a year with them.  If the average spend per week is £100.00 then that £5200.00 per year. If that customer stays with that supermarket for a few years that is a lot of money.   

    There is free parking at my local Tesco with no time limit but if I ever did get a ticket from a Tesco car park that they did not cancel then they would be the biggest loser.
