Joyces take over Nestors supermarkets

bluestone

Do the ex supervalu stores/ other joyces stores suffer from the incorrect till scanning that is prevalent at the athenry store? It has happenend to me & my wife & i have also seen other customers giving out over it. It is a constant issue.

Oranmore guilty also. Has happened to me once shortly after the change over. Don't go there anymore so Don't know of its still ongoing.

Athenry is brutal for this and out of date merchandise. After getting stung a number of times, I double check everything (price and expiry) anymore

Anytime I've been out in the Athenry one I've ALWAYS found mouldy/rotting fruit and veg, especially the lettuce and salads.

A lot of the products in Joyce's are purchased up north and are brought down south and stored centrally before being distributed, hence the very tight use-by dates. Don't know if the same applies to the fruit and veg though.

Tesco approve of it? I don't understand why they would even be asked. They won't necessarily have the best interests of customers at heart, they'll want what's best for them.
Not saying it's a good idea or not to put it out there. Personally, I'd say more choice is a good thing but can see the need to keep the large chains with deep pockets in check. 
Between the Apple farce, the crooked (imo) Supermacs stuff going on and now this. It seems there is a lot of corruption going on.

I don't get any of that, where I live sometimes, there are Tesco, Dunnes, Lidl, Aldi and locally owned Centra, Spar and Londis as well as many other speciality shops/newsagents all within a ten-minute walk. If they can and do survive there, they could def survive in Knocnacarra with it variable population.

All of those shops are very different from each other and as such will have overlapping markets, each feeding customers to the other.
