Not the first time you've told that story Loganair...

The problems with the self-checkouts are our local Tesco is how often they're faulty, espically keep requiring a member of staff to help.

These self-check outs are run on Windows XP, while the engineers who come to fix them have Windows 8 or above - this is what an engineer said to me while doing his best to fix the self-check outs and why he was having such difficulty in doing so.

I use them just to buy papers. It is the only way I can get rid of all my loose change without getting on anyone's nerves. Feel very happy to be unburdened of all those 1,2 and 5 pence pieces.

I've got used to using them for when I'm just buying a few items.

In some stores though, Poundland for instance they become less useful if you have something in your shop that's age limited, I had scissors in my last lot and the machine called out for assistance, so I had to wait for a guy to finish what he was doing elsewhere before I could move on.

Maybe it's the same in Tesco but I haven't had that yet.

I suppose having an assistant standing watching three or four self serve points is a saving for the store on having someone at each.

Well said

Our local Waitrose has put 6 in... They just get used (if at all) for people buying one or two items.

I know in my local Tesco the manned checkouts are queued out while the self service tills all sit empty.

They just aren't willing to accept that many people just aren't ready for this sort of change and despite the rhetoric, many people actually ENJOY the interaction with fellow human beings........

Buyers coming in.

Our nearest Lidl has been closed for weeks while they extend its size.
Some respite for the Co-op the only competition in the town and formerly holder of a monopoly in the area and who fought off attempts by Tesco and Asda to build stores there.

Nielsen's UK head of retailer insight, said: "Aldi and Lidl are growing sales due to new store openings, and from refurbishing and remodelling existing stores. Whilst the top four supermarkets are not opening many new stores at the moment, they are investing significantly in new ranges, in particular in the food-to-go categories, where shoppers are shifting their fresh-food spend."

Morning hazl .

updated..

Wm Morrison Supermarkets, down 2.7%, Tesco, down 2.1%. The UK grocery market recorded three years of consecutive sales growth, posting a modest 1.4% growth in the 12 weeks to June 16, data from Kantar showed. Kantar said the modest growth in the period was down to last year's bumper summer, which included soaring temperatures and the build up to the men's Football World Cup.

Sales for Morrisons decreased by 0.5%, lowering its market share of grocery sales to 10.4% from 10.6%. Tesco saw flat sales in the period and its market share slipped to 27.3% from 27.7%. Kantar attributed the flat sales performance at Tesco to growth in its value own-label lines like Eastman's and Redmere Farms and due to lower prices offered by its "100 Years of Great Value" campaign.

Supermarket market share compared to a year ago - note Kantar excludes M&S who have around 3.3% of the grocery market share so in reality the market share of the supermarkets is lower then that given by Kantar:


...........June 2018..June 2019

Tesco........27.7%......27.3%
Sainsburys...15.6%......15.3%
Asda.........15.1%......14.9%
Morrison.....10.6%......10.4%
Aldi..........7.4%.......7.9%
Co-op.........6.1%.......6.2%
Lidl..........5.4%.......5.7%
Waitrose......5.1%.......5.0%
Iceland.......2.2%.......2.1%

[philanderer] 25/6/2019 00:38

Even another explanation ? ;-)


The supermarket groups were heavily sold off amid a wave of food recalls and the latest batch of negative data on spending.

Sainsbury's led the plunge lower, falling 4 per cent, or 7.85p, to 188p, with Tesco down 2.3 per cent, or 5.4p, at 231.3p.

Hi philanderer thanks for the response. Yes Tesco has changed over the years sine l first got it. Changing with the times

[philanderer] 24/6/2019 18:52

or back to this..


"... French food retailer Carrefour sold an 80% stake in its Chinese operations for $698m to Suning, in which e-commerce giant Alibaba holds a stake, underscoring the threat posed by the likes of Amazon.com to it and its peers (such as Sainsbury and Tesco) in their core markets."

[philanderer] 24/6/2019 17:36

Ah , maybe this..

"..At the bottom of the index was J Sainsbury, down 4.0% while Tesco slipped 2.0% ahead of the latest grocery share figures from Kantar for the 12 weeks to June 16, due out at 0800 BST on Tuesday."

Afternoon hazl , that KGH looks interesting . I've put it on my watch list now thanks.


As for TSCO today the only shareprice performance link would be the shenanigans going on at Carrefour, but it's tenuous.

[philanderer] 24/6/2019 09:12

Morning hazl, sorry for the delay in replying.

I've never heard of them before . Going to have a look though :-)

[hazl] 21/6/2019 14:34

I only ask because you are quite discerning.

[hazl] 21/6/2019 14:32

Every little helps philanderer.

Have you seen KGH Knights?
