Tesco grocers hit by technical glitch,thousands of orders held up.
The chain said the glitch appeared to be preventing the smooth operation of items being picked in-store ahead of delivery.
It added that it would be speaking to customers whose orders had been cancelled to make new arrangements.
It is understood fewer than 10% of orders are affected

I didn't see anything mentioned by anyone at the AGM but its return was promised when they announced the Booker merger.

Was there any new re a dividend at the agm

I can't say I agree entirely diku, if it makes financial sense to own a jet for moving management staff around the various international branches I see nothing wrong with that, business class on ordinary commercial flights ain't cheap and I doubt that economy class travellers would be fit to conduct serious business until well rested.

If it's just a prestige thing then of course it's wrong.

Why they needed a jet in the first place shows insiders judgement!...money is there so spend it but for whose comfort?...

[ignoble] 20/6/2017 09:42

LOL !

Thought they had 4 at one time ...
Wrong again , lol

[vaneric1] 20/6/2017 09:19

They sold the jet iggy, keep up man :-)

[ignoble] 20/6/2017 08:45

Maybe the people in management and above should take a 10% salary cut to allow the extra payment for those lower down the chain

Seems only fair ... do Tesco still have their corporate jet ?

Save a few bob by keeping that grounded

UK "living" wage target is £9 per hour by 2020. So another 25% wage inflation for Tescos shareholders to deal with over next 3 years

Amazon Go technology increases productivity and reduced the wage/entitlements bill

For a retail business, if you don't have it, you are uncompetitive and no longer top dog

As Amazon purchases Whole Foods, don’t fear for the cashier. Fear for the supermarket

Much more impactful is the reality that Amazon’s technology could make grocery stores as we know them obsolete.

vaneric - they (Aldi) have been pretty successful with Trader Joe's in the USA with 464 stores nationwide in 41 states and in Washington, D.C. Good stores.

Playing in someone else's back yard is always a tough challenge, there aren't many long term successes, as the German interlopers will no doubt find out sooner or later.

Tesco Sbry Mks all got burned in America.
They made even less money than Amazon.
Hard to compete with a non profit organisation.

vaneric1 - "Serious American 'big players' have tried before, they were never very successful"

Likewise some UK retailers have tried and failed in America of which the most recent is Tesco.

One day some clever clogs will come up with a theory to explain.

[capeview] 19/6/2017 11:45

The trouble with Costco is you need to be a member and the last time we tried to join we didn't have the right job to join???

Don't know if this has changed, but no idea why any particular job is needed.

[shanieboy01] 19/6/2017 09:43

Amazon selling groceries = much ado about nothing.

[vaneric1] 19/6/2017 09:13

Serious American 'big players' have tried before, they were never very successful, the two top US retailers Walmart and Costco both have a presence here but they haven't wiped out the locals or the Europeans.

[buywell3] 19/6/2017 08:01

Just when TSCO thought all they had to worry about was Aldi and Lidl

A USA Giant has come on the scene with the firepower to blow all the big 4 out of the water and make Aldi and Lidl go running for cover

Give Amazon 12 months to extract the knowledge they need and then expect the fan to get hit in a large way

[leonidas] 19/6/2017 07:11

A serious blue day for Tesco.

Amazon Patent Would Block Comparison Shopping In Stores

[gutterhead] 18/6/2017 16:00

Complete hype and over reaction. Let's see how amazon deal with perishables. They are not making money on goods with a longer shelf life. I do expect this to recover.
With a pe of over 200 I know which one is best value. All imo

[portside1] 18/6/2017 14:14
