DeZZy | Why do people continue to shop at TESCO? Does the financial gain outweigh the ethics or are ppl ill-informed ? |
Unfair competition
Bullying of councillours/land owners/consumers... etc (anyone who cant afford the legal costs of taking them on)
Inequality of income/wealth.... (You'd think an opening means new jobs, but the oppurtunity costs are far bigger... alternative uses of land/labour, local/smaller businesses and the people they employ, noice/traffic congestion.......
EVEN THOUGH THE NEGATIVE LIST IS MASSIVE, the posotive list is there... but why kill thousands of pigeons to save a seagull ?

Their stores are good...their prices are good...the variety of products are good... the parking is good...I like superstores....I don't think you have an argument. |

I live roughly equidistant from an ASDA and a Tesco(10 min drive), with a Somerfield and an Iceland within a 5 minute walk and the reasons I chose to shop at Tesco are: price; quality; opening times and the availability of stock.
I know all the reasons not to go to large stores and I do support my small, local traders as much as possible however have you thought that the reason Tesco controls 30% of the grocery market in the UK is because they are the best at what they do!!!
The nature of the business is to get the best price for the goods you buy in order to retain a good profit margin whilst remaining competitive in the marketplace and to out perform your competitors, whether its two small independent traders competing locally or two multinational supermarket chains the principal is the same. |

i dont see the problem with shopping at tesco's, they are local, fair prices, open when i need it to be and have everything i need.
low wages-how many GCSE's do you need to work there? none, if you dont wanna work for them,dont.
unfair to farmers-i have no sympaphy for these people, remember these are the same people who pay no tax on fuel etc, yet feed dead cows to cows to save money, and gave us BSE!
local shops-stock the things i need and at a fair price 24 hours and i will use them!

Perhaps people continue to shop at Tescos because they are happy with their service and prices and like to shop with them. People are not FORCED to shop there are they?
Tescos is my local supermarket and I am afraid that I am not going to drive 15 miles out of my way (more traffic congestion and emitions etc.) to go to the nearest alternative. |

I continue to shop at Supermarkets in general in support of forcing competion with the bigger companies and breaking into other monopolies.
Petrol
Music & Film
Electronics
Clothing
And they gave me the cheapest insurance quote
I also believe that these supermarkets reduce conjestion within towns. Many supermarkets are built on retail parks just out of town which have good access nowadays.
If you want your shopping from tescos, you dont have to drive. You dont even need to leave the house if you dont want to. |

I would love to be able to shop elsewhere rather than Tesco, but my options are corner shops, Tesco or Waitrose. I cannot afford to shop at Waitrose, (no matter how much I would like to) and we all know how much of a mark-up corner shops add on to their prices. I have limited mobility and don't drive, so what option do I have?
Unfortunately Tesco has a monopoly, and I don't see any method of stopping this. |

Tell you what, when my local small shops offer me the same choice and will stay open so i can buy beans at 4am if I fee like it then i'll snub the superstores.
Theres nothing unfair about a retailer giving people what they want and becoming successfull. |

Power is something else and they certainly have power. People shop there because it is convenient and cheap and you will never get them to boycott the store. I rarely shop there but it is only because they are not so convenient to me as Sainsburies - I'm a cheap skate like everyone else |

same reasons us here in america continue to feed walmart.
self-interest is placed above principle. (i can save money.) and convinience... i can find what i would need three small stores to find.
over here, the answer has been a change of approach from small business... they are seeking specific groups of consumers. for example, as an audiophile, i would never be satisfied with the mass market stuff available at walmart... so what used to be the small stereo store specializes in high end home theater and car audio. small business is not really killed by these giants, but it is minimized and redefined. |

Some people, like me, would rather be "for" something, than "against" something else.
If there was something else to be "for", I may consider it, however your argument reminds me of the newspaper advert taken out by Henry Root:-
"I would like to complain most strongly - about everything". |

Well I'm scared of pigeon so i dont mind.... i know its cruel but they really are horrible birds.
There is competition every where now a days, its just one of those things.
There are always going to positive things and negative things in life. |

I think Tesco have overstepped the mark of fairness by expanding into insurance and other markets. It strikes me as a little greedy.
Having said that the speciality cheese selection is too irresistible for me to stay away completely! I'm not sure people if are ill informed or just trying to get a fair deal on their groceries. I'm sure everyone would love to shop locally in principle but it is too expensive to do that week in week out when you're on a budget. |

if people can physically seeing the result of Tescos and other giants infront of them, they will keep buying the cheapest option.
The below comment says it, taste nice, but you can't see how the has been fed genetically modified food that is probably altering yours, the workers paid next to nothing, the chickens that died at its feet and it probably ate (more gene tampering).
If everyone used there local shops again, they could lower the prices, but either way, if you still spending money of expensive car, cigarettes, but putting cheap poor quality own brand food in your mouth, is that really quality of life.
People buying african lettice in the UK winter from supermarkets is another classic.
Its a choice people have to make, eat well now and rely less on drugs to keep your going in your old age. |
