And the response will be to lay off lots of staff

And give the executives top bonuses for slashing costs

How? Chances are this will affect jobs, hours and potential new store openings here. Tesco is an enormous Irish employer, something that has the potential to really damage that is not to be welcomed.

what about irish producers and suppliers? in the long run tesco will harm employment.

Tesco tried to hide its policy from Irish people of buying directly from UK suppliers. An internal document said that a key objective was ensuring its policy of taking deliveries directly from UK suppliers went unnoticed and remained "invisible to the Irish customer". At the same time the president of the Irish Farmers' Association said there was deep anger about Tesco's decision to displace local produce with imports and that it "will inevitably lead to thousands of job losses and will put Irish producers of local, fresh produce out of business."[52]

There'll be no bargains here because they're only interested in making a come-back in their main market in the UK. They'll just use places like Ireland to prop up the group profits, so we'll still get screwed.

Not that we won't get screwed by Dunnes and SuperValu, because they're as bigger pair of robbers as Tesco.

Tesco has no real growth in Ireland. What they are "announcing" is the effects of the small tesco express stores they are opening.

All they are doing is using the sales from the small, new shops, to show growth in Ireland and they are just wiping out the small irish retailer.

Tesco town anyone?

Supermarkets have a net cost on jobs.

It's no surprise that sales are down. The shelves are empty half the time in my local tesco and they only restock certain products every few months. I assume the rest of their stores are like this as well.

The nearest Tesco to me is Clarehall and every time I come out of there, I have a headache. I think there's something funny with their lighting. I've stopped going as it isn't worth it.

I like Tesco. It's fairly cheap and open at reasonable hours.

I think this was posted on some past thread - but it sums up the likes of Tesco for me

"Jim Power, the economist, did a study for us and one of the things he showed was
that for the 38pc of market share that independent retailers have they've created about 90,000, jobs.
For the 27pc market share that Tesco has, it has created 13,000 jobs."

Do those numbers include jobs in the local supply chain and how they affect the welfare of our livestock?

If I'm at all indicative of the general Irish public, then we do our main shop in Lidl or Aldi, and only go to Tescos (if we have to) for branded goods - and even then I'd prefer Supervalu or Centra, given the choice. Ideally, I'd do all my shopping in the local butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers etc., but bringing bags of shopping from one shop to another, as opposed to just pushing a cart around a big shop, puts me off - especially when it's raining (which it always is).

Between this and the christmas shelf stacking internships, tesco will never get a cent from me again.
