I agree. We only shop at tesco because we have a tesco metro around the corner from us and a massive tesco extra in town selling everything and it's open 24/7 apart from 2200hrs sat to 1000hrs sun They even have guys going round washing your car while your shopping, at a £7 cost Well it is here in Swindon.
As for 'rip off' I'm not sure, they are running a business, if they can turn some people over who can't be bothered to compare then, who can you blame.
I'm happy with tesco and going by the profits in April this year, so is the rest

I agree the big tesco in Swindon is convient but when they have a special offer of four tuna for £2.78 and its only £2.00 at morrisons when it is not even on special.. I guess putting a offer tag on something sells it ?.........

If only you knew the truth bloggsy; Morrison sold their soul to join the big boys Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys. The image that they are a friendly, honest and full of northern values is tosh. They may have a head office in Bradford, but that means nothing in this day and age. And they are not a particulary nice company to work for. Must be those honest, northern values.

I find ASDA and Morrison's cheaper than Tesco and Sainsburys, with Sainsburys being the dearest. Thou i get my petrol from Sainsburys.

*THIS, I can well-believe, Rob! Perhaps it accounts for the prevailing [unhelpful] attitude I've found among staff working on the "shop floor" ... stacking shelves, or whatever ... when asked which aisle stocks 'x', 'y' or 'z'!

So much for "northern values"!! No offence here, Joe ... and also slightly ... but I once worked as a clerk at the Perth Branch of a large, well-known Building Society (now [thankfully] defunct) with ITS Head Office in Bradford. And though that was more than 40 years ago, I still wince at the painful recollection of being one of scores of young men who were made redundant up and down (and ACROSS) the entire country - at the whim of a then new and ruthless General Manager, acting upon the presupposition that it was cheaper to employ women to do the same job. This, of course, was before the Industrial Relations Act of the previous year became fully effective.

But anyway, the axe fell in January 1969 - at a time when my late first wife learned she was pregnant. I even took it upon myself to write to the GM personally ... asking him to reconsider in the light of our circumstances ... but to no avail; the bd didn't deign to reply - delegating it instead to the Company Secretary to do his dirty work!

Yes ... upwards of four decades may have passed, but I am blessed (or should I say cursed, in this case?) with a looooooong memory!
