Tesco

Just saw on the Sky News website rumour that Tesco are to shut down Deli/Fish/Meat counters.

As they were responsible for Many local butchers closing down, Where will we be able to purchase these products once these counters are closed?

In plastic packaging in chill cabinets.

Having people serve you costs money.

Presumably, if people were arsed enough to buy the stuff, they wouldn't be shutting them down would they.

In the chill Isle that doesn't need to be manned by a staff member, packaged in plastic and polystyrene.

Vote with your money.

Trap and kill what you want to eat.

Most of their stores are grotty kips anyway filled with bored and unfriendly staff. Closing down the meat counter won’t make too much difference to the overall shopping experience.

That's the problem, people are voting with their money and are going to Lidl and Aldi, where there is no staffed deli counter.

I've always used the local butcher & I'm lucky enough theres a fishmongers nearby so i get fresh seafood daily. I generslly try & avoid Tesco wherever possible because its just not a pleasant experience.

You just can't beat a good local butcher anyway.

I will stick with a butcher.

Like a few posters said, you can't beat the local butcher. Way better quality.

This is only in the UK at the moment.
Whenever we make changes in our business, colleagues are always the first to know," he added.

The company will close some fresh food counters and scale back the opening hours of others, the newspaper said.

It was also considering changes to its in-store bakeries, such as using frozen instead of fresh dough, the report added.

Plenty of local butchers around. They seem to be thriving.

We only ever use Tesco for the bits that we absolutely can’t get in Aldi. For meats we use the local butcher. Aldi quality of meats is too variable.

I was hoping Tesco would just close up their shops and bugger off.

Eating animals is on the wane anyway, so looks like sound business strategy.

One thing about the plastic packaged meat at Tesco is the size of the label they put on.

Under the unlabelled part you could clearly see a fine chop.

However, the label always covered over some fatty piece of crap that you wouldn't feed to the dog.

I find this with all supermarkets tough, you've to really shake the packets around!

The reason that Tesco are closing the Butchers and Deli section is that too many claims have been awarded for personal injury. On average when an employee cuts their finger they get 20k.

I preferred Quinsworth, it was more friendly and the layout was better.

Tesco has miserable staff, miserable looking management and really bad customer service.

There's an undercurrent of depression there or something, no staff comadry like good old Quinsworth.
I only shop in Tesco's when I don't want to look for parking spaces anywhere else.

Tesco's in Ennis always has plenty of parking space, same can be said for the Tesco's in Coonagh Limerick, and Oranmore in Galway...

I'm basically in the middle of the three closer to Ennis I suppose.

That's ****e news , I do a bit of online shopping there and grab steaks and fish from the counters .

Will avoid shopping there when possible due to Lidl being the single best thing to happen to us since the release of Mundys Galway Girl
