Tesco

So what is their problem
Greed?
Cash flow problems?
Gilding the lily?
Over extended?
Bad management?
Iffy marketing claims?

What do you think?

A mixture of all those I would say plus complacency, a 'we are so big no one can touch us' attitude.

Re: Tesco

I have a feeling it's tip of the iceberg and they are not the only big company being run by greedy numpties.

Re: Tesco

I'd like to boycott Tesco, but it's the nearest one to us & I guess the other major supermarkets are the same.
OH thinks they are too. We have tried shopping in small local shops but it is more expensive & time consuming.
If we had a decent market here we would use that instead.
I don't like Aldi or Lidl & those are too far away anyway.

Re: Tesco

I love Tesco and used it for decades.
Wish they would show me into the boardroom. As a OAP and
a good customer I am sure I could tell or should I say advise
them where they have gone wrong and where they should
be going

Re: Tesco

What's wrong with them?

I often shop at Tescos in Malaysia. It's one of the few places with a 'Tidak Halal' room where you can buy pork and spirits.
