TESCO

Started by: admin (1623)

Heard this morning from a Stallholder in the Market Hall That the staff of TESCO have been in a meeting and told if trade doesn't pick up they will close the store. Anyone else heard anything???

Trouble is with that place, is that it is neither in Wigan or out of Wigan, it is in pergatory (Swinley) it is too big and it is basically crap 💩

Are other countries also facing this blitzing of their traditional retail outlets?

I am not hearing of it, but maybe that is simply because UK News coverage does not report it.

Pundits are saying that about half of our town centre retail outlets will go!

There is an old adage, which has it that we're never more than six feet away from the nearest rat!

Research proves it to be a myth!

Leaving aside rat free areas, like what they have in Canada, apparently the nearest rat will be between three to thirty metres away!

Half of the trouble with Tesco is they always wanted to pay the lowest prices to their suppliers then moan when they get inferior stock. We have never rated their meat/fruit or veg and even today whilst we were shopping in Wigan bypassed Tesco and went to Asda at Golborne to get our shopping.

I am a promiscuous shopper. Use all of them.

None is best for everything.

Each has at least one item with which they best the competition.

Price/quality/freshness are a forever changing picture. Nosing around is the only way I keep up to date. What was true last week, often is no-longer so this week.

I doubt very much the managers will have openly said that to the staff.

I think if they re-opened in the old Morrison's store they would do well there from people who don't have a car and have to use public transport. Morrison's always seemed busy when I went in.

Asda,Sainsburys and tescos have too many chiefs, Managers,area Managers, marketing consultants and the like, Folks with university certs demanding high salaries, they pay the workers little and demand more,

Aldi and lidle have a big chief, many injuns, keep prices low, pay better wages to the workers and are head and shoulders above the English supermarkets,

Our country produce, pen pushing,desk jockys who leech off the working pruducers, We are a nation of wagons pulling the horse,

Wots screwing a lot of businesses are business rates, which was put up a lot by the last Labour Party Government, it was one of those 'stealth taxes' and when yoo let in millions of folk into the country, like wot that Tony Blair did, those millions need somewhere to live, doctors, skools and it costs the country money, which is why taxes were put up 'stealthily' add on to that, massive increases in gas and electric and water and transport costs, bus fares were once just loose change in your pocket, but Labour cut the subsidies and now it is cheeper to use a taxi, than to get a bus and this new bus station, will be three quarters empty, because there are not the bus services there to use it ....

That is why stores are closing down, their overheads are to high and they are loosing money, it is an economic fact and like the noble tomplum said, firms like Lidle and Aldi are dooing well because they have more injuns than cheefs ....

Same with Primark, that is always busy and that will never close down and it is a lot cheeper than M & S ...

It would be splendid if the most successful team the planet has ever known could move back to the side of the river

Cyril from the forum says

The remoaners over on communicate are having a ball with their fake news about Tesco in Wigan closing.

In actual fact business has never been better and Tesco are looking forward to another eighteen years. The entrance road and car park is in progress of being re-laid and a welcome sign is above the doors to welcome the
former M&S shoppers to Tesco Extra Wigan.

Forget the past Wigan is now known for its football team, and the only game of rugby to be played again at Central Park will be by Tesco staff on the car park during their lunch break.

And Mick says

Cyril is wrong about the football bit, but it just shows what kind of folk are commenting on there when they come out with stuff like ,I've seen rats outside the store.
And the reason Morrison's always seemed busy when Irene went in was because it was always full of slow walking chatting to everybody they passed pensioners.

Lidle and Aldi are dooing well because they sell cheap as chips poor quality food, with fancy names, and folk fall for it

poor quality food ? no such thing in this country, its not allowed, the establishment won't allow it, Eat a loaf of 49p bread and it will fill you just as much as a £1.50 loaf of bread,
Ask grill bears what poor quality food is, he'll tell you its, anything not alive when you eat it,

if you want crap food go to aldi and lidl,their fruit and veg isnt fit for anything but the bin next day.
their own brand cereals have more sugar in them than an energy drink.
12 months ago i bought a jar of jam from lidl in pemberton,second time i opened it i found hairs in it.when i complained the manager said do you want a refund or another jar.EOS
