Its crazy They have their massive tesco's, then tesco expresses and now they have the one stop shop, a little corner shop. I mean they are hitting every area on the map. But now i hear something really scary. Because they are so big into fuel now they have started getting contracts from Shell, Total etc to supply all the fuel to the garages. However for any independent garages supplied by these companies Shell is charging them 2p for delivery...This is when they are only making 3p a litre! 3 garages in 20 miles have closed down in the past 3 weeks! Tis' Madness!

Plus local indigenous businesses can't compete with such large companies, despite most likely having superior quality products. Tesco's 'affordable' food tastes like cardboard and they overcharge for fresh food that's absolutely terrible in comparsion to other shops, both in price and taste, leading to the false assumption that healthy food is more expensive, when in reality it just doesn't have the same profit margin.
