We shop at Tesco stores very rarely now, and only if there is a specific reason.

Oh dear, what a shame poor old Tesco.
I hate Tesco and not used them for about three or four years, plus I know a fair number of ex-Tesco customers now use Morrisons.

Well I like Tescos, do most of my shopping there, both in the Dover store and in other towns when I'm out and about. Their produce is always fresh, staff are helpful and I've never had any problems with them. So I say long live Tescos!
Morrisons? I wouldn't go in there for anything, hate their stores.
And Keith, before you have a go at me - you always advocate the individual's right to a view - mwahh ha ha

There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

The problem with Tesco Jacqui is that they are not IN towns, except the Tesco Metro format. So they suck the lifeblood out of any town within 5 miles.

the tesco metro thing just shows how power crazy they are, even town centre convenience stores are prey to them.

They have just shut the best pub in Deal to open as a Tesco. Tragedy

Gosh will not shed a tear on this one, do not use tescos very often now for far to long they held the monopoly, so now if they are feeling the pinch tough we the customer now have choice

The Yew Tree in Mill Hill has closed to be replaced by the Tesco Express, they will get none of my money.
