Sorry, I meant the tesco stores. Many close for 2 days and then re open (relaunch as they say). The ones in Athlone and Roscommon have done so, I was just wondering about throughout the country.
Yeah thats what i ment, they where closed sunday and monday and had opening tuesday.
im sure they have not reduced there profits, they have just applied more pressure to the suppliers and can reduce the price. id be suprised if it was them taking the hit.
I personally think Tesco has some neck to be stating how much the were overcharging the Irish consumers..
Us as consumers are now meant to be greatful that the are cutting there prices..and then the print it in black & white how much the were overcharging us and expect us as consumers to be delighted and remain loyal to this group: only in Ireland !!!.
Guilty of what?Eh..hello...what about Dunnes?, Musgrave-Supervalue?, Superquinn?? etc etc....they are all equally guilty! They were all at it.
Because the Cork people have too far to go to the north, I suppose we will have to wait.
So the general consensus is that Tesco are bad because they reduced their prices but sought to maintain their margin by getting their products cheaper (what business would not do that?) and Superquinn are bad because they still source in expensive Ireland and want to stop running their business at a loss. What a strange thread...
