    When they have wiped out the local baker, the local butcher, the local garage, the local newsagent, the local greengrocer and bought up every bit of land in your town to prevent any competition whatsoever and then up their prices I wonder will you still love Tesco.

    I hate Tesco they are corporate scum. Every little helps my arse should be "Every little helps us"

    I should know that cos I'm in the large ASDA superstore at least once a fortnight but the petrol pumps at separate location a few miles away .

    My local Asda has pumps at the store, not miles away :) Thankfully it's pay at pump ONLY so no waiting for some idiot to arse around in the shop buying chocolates, pot noodles and the Sun before paying.

    I've noticed Tesco get steadily more expensive for steadily sh*ttier products over the last while. But then that's not a trend limited to Tesco. There's better value to be had in Dunnes really, and the stuff in Dunnes is better (not saying it's great but it's better than Tesco!)

    Capitalism in action.

    We don't live in a happy little utopia where some weirdy beardys organic turnip shop can exist in the same town as a supermarket selling the same basic product for half the price.

    Yes, but they sell most of their products for the same price as everywhere else, every other supermarket anyway. People just seem to assume they're cheaper.

    It strikes me that the same people who say 'that's capitalism' are those who'll say we need more Irish businesses to create jobs. (not directed at you Micky btw, just in general)

    I've been thinking the same. Tesco does mobile phones now, insurance, loans... What's next!?! I predict that, in a few years' time, we'll have nothing but Tesco Starbucks, Tesco Subway and Tesco Tesco - which sells everything else.

    I'm cool with this though - I love Tesco!!!

    At least they dont treat there employee's like slaves, take a look at Aldi and Lidl for that. I find them grand to be honest as theyre the cheapest place I can get my shopping done in.

    They're also taking over the beauty industry. In the UK, they propose the introduction of beauty salons in their stores. You can have your hair done and get the groceries under one roof. Slightly worrying actually.:eek:

    I know people who have/do work in both. They don't treat you like a slave at all.

    They expect you to perform the utterly unreasonable activity of doing what you're being paid to do. The fiends :mad:
