Re: Tesco
It's not just Tesco though is it? Most of the big names are suffering just the same, I would have thought there is just much retail grocery capacity for the amount of customers. Personally I prefer shopping at Tesco to any other store chain but in the final analysis they are all mercenary and there to make a profit, and not there for our benefit per se.

'big shop' and shopping for small amounts of food every few days instead.
This has led to more 'local shopping' with people shopping around and using various shops rather than being loyal to just one large one .

Re: Tesco
I've never liked Tesco.I've never been particularly fond of their produce either - cheap & nasty much of the time - but I would hazard a guess and say that they seem to have gone down the pan since Leahy left so either they've got nobody to genuinely lead the company or greed's got the better of them.
I lean towards greed. stevmk2

Ah right! Thanks, makes sense now.

Re: Tesco
I personally believe there are also problems on the shop floor. Trying to find someone who is helpful, polite, and knows the products, is like looking for hens teeth. This works its way up through management who employ staff but who do not train them to respect and be helpful to the customer. This eventually leads right back up to to the top management who arrogantly believe they are beyond reproach and have distanced themselves from the shop floor, which is where their customer is that they should be impressing. In todays market, with vast competition, staff have to be prepared to go that extra mile for the customer.06-02-2015, 06:19 PM

Trying to find a staff member that isn't rude / ill-mannered / arrogant in my local Tesco is an impossibility.
F-'em I say - hope their company goes down the tubes. stevmk2
