I will never darken Tesco’s doors after two incidents I witnessed.
Tesco shot themselves in the foot with the horsemeat scandal, never used them since.

i agree. the problem for me is that they are by far the closest. But I am resolved not to use them in future!

You want to try suppling them, they bankrupted a friend of mine a few years ago, he was contracted to grow carrots . The £ went to nearly 2 Euros and they got their carrots from Holland , telling him his were the wrong colour . Me if when out I need a toilet I head for a Tesco's , and take great delight in have a Cr*p on them.

Supply of most items is currently disrupted due to the War on Virus. Factories are working with reduced staff, and supplies and additional time spent on hygine. So if I was normally making three flavours of chocolate oranges I'd be inclined to change to just one flavour to recoup time usually spent on cleaning down and setting up between flavours.

But I can buy Terry’s plain chocolate oranges at Sainsbury’s and Waitrose! No it’s Tesco that has decided I can’t buy them from them!

Tesco opened a small shop opposite my pal's Spar shop and sold everything at a loss for two years until they forced him to close, then put everything above their bigger store prices. They already had three other stores in the town. I'm pretty sure it was done just to get rid of the competition.
Tesco is evil!

I have always thought that they are a ruthless company. When Sainsbury’s opened their bigger store in Mildenhall they decided not to have a cafe as the being a small town we already had two family run cafes. Very thoughtful.
