Tesco to dominate everything and the world?

I like how people are complaining that somehow Tesco is the one who is evil and responsible for all the shops closing, but actually it's the public, who want to pay less for goods, who are responsible.

Tescos and supermarkets in general have manipulated the public into this though. People shop at tescos, prices in independants go up and then people don't want to go to them even though they are far superior in quality. You get what you pay for at the end of the day.

It actually works out cheaper to buy local sometimes and if you don't waste anything it's achievable to live on good quality of food.
I'd rather not eat than have old veg and a rubbish chicken injected with a loads of water.

You're saying people shop at Tesco and then prices in independents go up and that explains why people shop at Tesco? In this case the chicken came before the egg, they shopped at Tesco first and stopped spending in the independents. Why?

Because they want to pay less for goods.
 
In 2013 Tesco invades Denmark and sets up the first retail country.

It's true. Go on youtube and search for 'Time Trumpet Tesco'. Can't link it because of a single swear. *shakes fist*

Tesco's slogan changed from 'Every Little Helps' to 'We Control Every Aspect of Your Lives'.

Asda is good, veg is better condition and much bigger selection than tesco or sainsburys.

Don't really know how you can make such a blanket statement, this entirely depends on region, if I compare my local tescos (gatwick) to my local asda, the fruit/veg section is roughly twice the size in tescos.

Well, seen as Tesco are bound by law to not false advertise, they have printed on their milk "We pay a premium to our dairies" or similar. Where as the opposition is some random person on the internet.

Aside from that fact that this was cleared u pa few posts ago.

What is the legal definition of "a premium" ?

Because it could well be like "all natural" and have no legal definition, I could market petrol or ammonia made via the Haber Process as "all natural" if I so wished.

I'm going to guess "a premium" either has no definition or refers to any payment.

Because before supermarkets independant ruled the market and could afford to be cheaper. Then they slowly lost business to the supermarkets, people found them more convinient maybe. The prices had to rise to compensate which then put off more customers. But the point is the supermarkets purposely went in to put their competition out of business. This seems like a ****ty thing to do if you ask me. Ethically, supermarkets are a disgrace, money money, no care to the staff, local farmer, consumer, animals, environment to anyone else but the bank account.
People have been fooled into thinking cheap is better if you ask me.

I don't wanna pay money for cheap crap personally, I will only ever pay for quality.

And don't blame any supermarket staff for being grumpy, the job is terrible. Like I say I'd rather wipe arse.

And? How do you think business's work ?

CEO - Right , where aiming for a 5% growth this year.
Employee - But Sir! That will mean our competition will go out of business!
CEO - Oh in that case , close a store instead!
 
You seem to be using the natural way the business world works to paint Tesco as evil.

Tesco's goal was to satisfy consumer demands better than its competitors and therefore make a profit, which is the goal of any business. This naturally means that if one business provides what its market wants (in this case, reasonable quality at a low price) competitors who cannot compete effectively are pushed out.

Are you going to say that an independent grocery shop that sets up next to Tesco and aims to satisfy consumer demands better than the Tesco (in this case by providing better quality goods at a higher price) therefore putting 400 people out of work, is evil? No, like Tesco, it's satisfying consumer demand and if it does so, its competitors decline or go out of business.

Oh but I like to be part of the crowd, so, TESCOS R TAKIN OVER THE WORLDS!
 
I wish people wouldn't say "Tescos"

No one seems to say "Asdas" "Aldis" :mad:

I don't really shop at Tesco, it doesn't help that there's an Asda at the bottom (or top) of my road.

I think it is partly down to the fact that it was started by a bloke called Jack Cohen.

written form is a way to record verbal form. It might be incorrect but who says I'm going to shop at tesco. It sounds wrong. Just like Asdas sounds wrong but asda sounds right.
 
I hope I haven't got to change my Corporate Induction speech at the NHS.
I normally tell people that the NHS are the 4th biggest employer behind The Chinese Liberation Army, Indian Railways & Walmart.

The company I work for supplies soft fruit (strawberries, raspberries etc) to retailers and the most stringent with regards quality control is tesco and waitrose is one of the least stringent.

Not in the way tescos do it, monopolisation is a ****ty thing to do.
Why does tescos need to grow any more anyway? Are they not rich enough?

It's bad enough how much they cut costs. It's a proper ***** shop nowadays. "The tescos shareholders need an extra 5 pence per share, I'm afraid you can't have that high vis jacket which by law you're supposed to wear in the warehouse"
I don't think they're satisfying consumer demands, I think they're using clever advertising to make people think tescos actually sells food of a passable quality at bargain prices. If half the people knew where it came from I don't think they'd buy it any more.

Why should independent shops succeed? Are the owners not rich enough as employees of a company?

No real point arguing here, clearly.

Independant shops don't bull**** or false advertise, they sell real food, they give a high quality of service, they treat their staff like human beings and don't want to dominate everything.

But because tescos has fancy advertising and money behind them no independant has a change.
