Staney Dale Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Extraordinary, but I don't think this will have the same legs as Popcorngate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffererof1crankymofo Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Could be worse, could be small cartons of Ribena. Oh, hang on a sec ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 With Tesco's stock control up here, its irrelevant what they "stock" or not, as the chances of actually finding any stock in the shop of any one specific product they allegedly do stock,at any one given time, is 50/50 at best, and that's without boat delays. It must take skill and planning to run out of stock of the same flavour of own brand soft drink every week for months on end, and run out of stock of local butter for regular and entended periods.

wotsit Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 The store manager really needs to sort his staff and managers out, and get on the shop floor and take some control, this did not happen to the same degree with old store manager it is just getting worse. Its nearly xmas and no tinsel. Girzie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 ^ Sprouts. Are there any sprouts. We simply must have sprouts. Christmas will be ruined! sludgegulper and Suffererof1crankymofo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Its not the fact xmas would be ruined without tinsel don't be silly, its the fact these sort of products sell at xmas time and are what customers would require along with other products xmas or otherwise in weeks up to xmas. Tesco have also put some Halloween or valentine stuff out after the event, it should have been on the shelves unless of course some boat delay but if stock is out the back get it on the shelves. Pringles is popular product you expect to see this product on the shelves decision to stop something that is popular doesn't make sense. If Tesco stop selling beer just before up helly aa say, would customers not think that was strange and that would not make economic sense for Tesco. Its about stopping of certain popular products, not that just for one year you couldn't get hold of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 However I have seen a small box of tinsel at one end of an isle late this afternoon but you would think popular products would be topped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelsup Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I notice they stopped stocking their own brand ready break (porridge). It does seem they are reducing the choices. The co-op certainly have better choice, but their check-out speed is agonising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I agree they are limiting choice , there is no glace cherries or mixed peel for baking something that you would normally expect to see on the shelves and especially this time of year.

wotsit Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) But for something like glace cherries there is no alternative on the shelf by another brand say or something close or similar even.

Suffererof1crankymofo Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Grotesco's announced ages ago they were cutting something like 20,000 items from their shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
