I like Tesco stores, they have a wide range of products, prices are competitive, parking is convenient, staff are helpful and I do not mind that they are dominant in their industry, why would I criticize them for being successful?
I hear a lot of people complain about Tesco, but there are still queues at the che
Fun biased and personal review of our nearby stores. I too like Tesco but have lots more favourites:
Co-operative (big store). Best stock in the area and much smaller than the big boys. Best green veg. Best sausages range. Best salad. Pleasant staff. Quickest for a full shopping list. Close at 20:00.
Co-operative (little store) (3 of). Good stock....
I only have easy access to city-centre shops-a Tesco metro, Aldi, Lidl, and a medium sized Sainsbury's. Tesco's is the pits-I agree that their employees don't know the meaning of customer service. They are too busy shuvving bodies through a queue.They are mostly rude and surly. As for choice-there is none. I prefer to shop around,rather than be loyal to any one shop.
I shop at Asda as they were the only supermarket where I could guarantee getting a twin baby trolley when thing 1 and thing 2 were babies (had trouble with Sainsburys and in the end they suggested that I phoned to say I was on my way and they would get a trolley ready for me, but even that was problematic). The staff at our local Aldi are excellent even though they are always so busy (the deputy manager gave thing 1 a flower yesterday and she was thrilled and he has previously given the children chocolate bars to share).
I live close to lots of supermarkets, I tend to shop around, tesco are good for some things, asda are good for others same as sainsburys, co-op, aldi ect
tesco has improved since they got rid of the nagging car washers
Shopped in Tesco today. Low fat chicken breast fillets 516gm packs were £6.00. Low fat chicken breast fillets 258gm packs were £2.50. Bought two smaller packs and saved £1.00 over the bigger pack. Check their pricing thoroughly when you shop at Tesco - they're always doing this sort of thing.
I've probably moaned about Tesco on here but I do like shopping there too. Its the nearest big supermarket to me but recently I too have found the price of their stuff rise. A few months ago (before the big price drop) their 2 pack mangoes were £1.50. They then labelled the mangoes as being £1.65 but reduced to £1.50 as part of the big price drop. Bit sneaky but then the price of food changes every day due to inflation etc.
Most of us have to use whatever is close. We have a large Tesco out of town and a very small Morrison's in the town centre. Any other supermarket is at least 10 miles away so by the time you have payed the petrol to do a min 20 mile round trip it is very expensive to shop anywhere else.
