How come Tesco is so dirty and messy?

Cant stand Tesco, they seem to have lost the plot while implementing their plan for world domination. Poor quality fruit, veg & meat. Low stock levels of perishable items. Value only on specials - expensive on many other items. Staff who could not give a monkeys. No greater selection in larger stores, just more of the same items. Need I go on? Dunnes are far superior...

Totally dislike Tesco too. The aforementioned filthiness of their stores, and I include in this 5 stores either built or refurbished within the last 4 years, so new enough stores that all look completely manky and old. The dodgey special offers, the only thing special about them is that they are crap. The repeated overcharging. The staff who don't like you very much. The out of date food on the shelf(I mean months out of date in some cases). The reduced to clear sections give you a pittance off sometimes mouldy/bashed/green food. The many posted bargains in bargains alert that were only available in some tesco in the west. The price increases that kept on going....jaysus I could go on forever!!

Had been avoiding Dunnes for many years in favour of tesco, but its now the opposite as Dunnes have improved immensely(except for moustached managers). Likewise Supervalu is on the up. And lidl and aldi too(although it has to be said that they are increasing their prices).

The unfortunate thing is to get a "good value" shop, I would have to shop between the four each week. I'm lucky in that I have the 4 in a 5 mile radius.

Must depend on the part of the country you're in! Carrick on shannon branch is a clean, relatively tidy store imo, and they seem to be fairly on the ball in relation to cleaning spillages etc. Looks abit messy if you go in in the early hours when they are stocking the shelves, but sure you'll have that!

My Mom used to work in Quinnsworth when Tony Keohane, now CEO Tesco, was a regional manager for Quinnsworth.

That time every thing had to be spic & span, she said that he even went down on his hands and knees to check if the floor under shelves were swept and cleaned

She is very saddened with the way Tesco are operating and refuses to shop there now.

Yeah i think it depends on the store, Mullingar one can be grotty, yet Tullamore looks spotless, now i know the Tullamore one is a lot newer but even so, as for the cleanliness of the stores, you should see the warehouses that the stuff comes from, especially there chiller and frozen area,s, I'll leave that to your imagination ??:rolleyes:

That is what I hate about that store so if there are a few people there we are all corralded into narrow aisles around fruit and veg and meat and ready meals and the congestion on a Saturday can be crazy while the rest of the store is almost empty.

Was there onle to spend coupons.

Have to add to the criticism of Tesco Ballyfermot - yuk! And it's not just the crappy appearance of the store, but there are never more than 3 tills open at once, and as said, the staff are more interested in yapping to each other than doing their job. The Tesco store in Clondalkin is cleaner but suffers the same checkout problems; there is never an express till open and I guess they don't trust us enough to have the self checkouts. So I end up either going to Superquinn Lucan (long past its glory days) or for a big shop, Tesco Maynooth, which I have to say I find clean, even if they don't have much more variety than much smaller stores.

Tesco Naas should be razed to the ground - horrible, and there's a grand Tesco a few miles away in Newbridge!

And Prussia Street is manky dirty!

Yep, they had a rat problem last year. Can't remember which month it was, but it made the papers.

They're too busy working on world domination to be concerned of the cleanliness of their stores.
