Someone from ASDA might be on their break, and a bit bored.

WE drove there at about 2.30. Drove around the carpark and thought sod that, it was chocker. Obviously people panic buying because it's a holiday weekend and they might run out of food. There will be enough thrown away next week to feed a small country.

which one alan asda or tesco?

cashman · 31-12-2010, 22:32

was in tesco this morning fer bits n bobs, didn't see any panic buying, but why would i? there open sat/sun, then back to 24hrs on monday i would imagine asda are also? so only a dumbo would panic buy.

Tesco Mez. To be honest Cashy there appears to be mor dumbos than i ever imagined.
Think they must have been told what it used to be like, in the days when no shops were open over holiday periods. When you used to have to think ok, 4 days no shops have to get enough bread milk and perishables. Not the same now but some seem to think it is. And i'm not even that old.

cashman · 31-12-2010, 23:17

keep imagining alan, theres millions of dumbos.

shillelagh · 31-12-2010, 23:48

Tesco expansion plans

Love it Margaret. And i bet it's not a million miles from the truth.

seems Tesco are "mothballing" some of their stores in the L.A./Southern California area. there was some talk about them moving into the San Francisco/Bay Area , the buisness plan was for them to open stores in 'dis-advantaged' inner city areas which the other supermarket chains avoid , got them a lot of good press about how the residents of these areas would now have fresh healthy food options no mention of the tax breaks the cities would be giving them. "After a net operating loss of $151 million they hope to break into profitability in 1012/13"

USA - Tesco Mothball 11 stores

Have been for a look, it's a big store, no problems with snow on car park, but where is the petrol station....most surprised a Tesco with no petrol

I like the new store - I prefer the burnley one mind, but i think its better than the asda lol.

Although for my first shop I was charged incorrectly by about 4 quid. A few of the offers hadnt processed on the till. But I couldnt be bovd to go back all new stores will have teething problems.

All in all Im happy tesco has come to accrington exept from the traffic issues it has caused lol xx

If the tills aren't working correctly and short-changing by £4 , that's made me more determined to stick to Asda .
