I don’t shop in the big supermarkets and would not set foot in a Tesco store as it is their policy hereabouts (and no doubt nationwide) to put small traders out of business. They identify three or four small businesses in a local parade of shops, offer the landlord(s) more rent who then give notice to the small businesses. Six months later the separate premises have been knocked together to form a new Tesco Express. This has happened again and again all over town. Bakers, butchers, hardware stores, independent grocers, cafes, barbers and hairdressers, card and gift shops, post offices etc all put out of business by Tesco.
I mention this as a neighbour who does shop there says they have been regularly overcharging at the tills by 15p on many small items. Till staff try to argue that these are temporary special offers which have ended but shelf replenishment staff haven’t yet updated the ticketing. She says this is not true as these are not special offers but regular price items including milk, bread, newspapers and tinned goods. So I do urge people to ask for and check their receipts.
