spob, I think Tesco has a team of four weather men!

As to why the share price is dropping here in comparison to Tesco, no bid and a fist of 'shorts' in my humble.

Price should improve in Jan22 as Xmas is all retailers biggest selling period.

SBRY has the best NAV value compared to share price for any retailer in FTSE100..
Only banks and and oil does better. (

SBRY keeps drifting very slowly down and no sign it will turn soon unless t/o rumours return. I am sorry I kept a small holding some time ago after selling most of them .
nice weekend all and I must learn to religiously do what chart is telling me to do ! ( wry smile ) .

[arja] 30/11/2021 16:23

[action] 30/11/2021 08:43

Good call. Wow

SBRY held up well on friday but must plunge soon in this mini bear market as a result of falling US indices caused by new variant .

Seems to me could cut the number shop floor staff by half, employ staff that are far more productive and actually who get on with the job they're paid to do, increase this new work force pay by 50% would still mean a saving of 25% on Sainsbury's overall shop floor staff bill.

[spob] 26/11/2021 11:12

lack of productivity




lidl pay more than both of them


so not surprised at all to be honest

what goes around comes around


These big companies have cut pay, pensions, contracts and every other minor petty little thing you can possibly think of, in order to pay the HUGE wage bill of the part of the business that eats money and contributes nothing to shareholders .... Grocery Online

I don't blame the grocery online workers, they are just doing their jobs, but the management of these big companies are going to look pretty stupid in years to come.

As I was driving past my local Tesco, I popped in to buy one of two things.

To my shock and absolute horror, overnight they had put in what looked like cattle carrel gates in front of each of the tills and the self service check out area.

Going into my local Tesco now I feel like I'm being treated like cattle, a cow or sheep and not like a human being.

Tesco seem to be way over paying their shop floor staff as they do so very little and very unproductive.

Just returned from my local Tesco. 3 ladies stacking shelves in the same isle. In the 1 1/2 mins I was looking on 1 lady put only 2 items on the shelves as all the 3 ladies could do was to continually chat about where they're next going on holiday instead of doing what they are paid for that is to stack shelves.

I did a little circuit and returned 3 mins later, only 2 more items had been stacked onto the shelf as the 3 ladies were still chatting about holidays.

I see this massive lack of productivity going on all the time in both Tesco and Sainsbury's supermarkets.

Why this is dropping compare to Tesco.

[spob] 10/11/2021 20:54

Anyone been watching "Inside the supermarket"

a so called documentary about SBRY

Available on BBC iplayer


I get the impression there is plenty of excess fat to be trimmed from their expensive central london Office.

Or better still, move it entirely to a cheaper location far away from the capital.


Liverpool or Glasgow perhaps.



They actually employ a full time weatherman in the Head Office to brief the other Head Office staff !!!

Can you believe it ?

Replace him with a daily email from the met office. Job done.

I would like to see Sainsbury's bought out for 350p per share as they have gone absolutely no where for over a decade now and continue to go no where.

[chiefbrody] 08/11/2021 09:04

Just one more spike above 300p please.

Analyst Russ Mould said: ‘That the supply chain problems are most heavily affecting Argos, Sainsbury’s star turn through the course of the pandemic, is perhaps part of the problem.

‘Argos sales are already under pressure as a result of shortages as well as easing demand as the economy reopened following Covid-19 disruption.’

Sainsbury’s had been a particular winner from Covid-19 lockdowns as for a while its Argos operation was one of only a relatively small number of essential retailers allowed to open. Mould said as a result Sainsbury’s made ‘what were essentially artificial market share gains, of which they were always likely to give back a portion’.

regarding Argos

the more you close the stand alone Argos stores, the more you kill the Argos brand

It seems to me over the past 25 years the directors have been clueless on even trying to get Sainsbury's to stand still let alone grow the business.

In 1997 Sainsbury's had 20% market share, while Tesco's had 22%, since then Sainsbury's market share has steadily fallen while Tesco's has risen irrespective of what either Aldi or Lidl have been doing in the mean time.

In 1993 Tesco's market share was 3 percentage points lower then that of Sainsbury's, while today Tesco's market share is over 12.5% more then that of Sainsbury's.
