It's their shoppers that are disgusting; it rubs off on the windows.

Why do you have to be disgusting to shop at aldi or lidl/ i take it you are one of the people who tesco brainwash into buying the same old food week in and week out for your tesco points.

i agree with Nat, it sounds good getting a national contract....but is it really worth it if you have to slog yer guts out for peanuts?

I know what you mean but I have two stores less than a mile from me so I could be fairly cheap but then again it depends on what you think is cheap, I quoted dreams bed store a few weeks ago and was rushed out the door with my price ;D and I was cheap as chips

I love, and I mean, love a windy that bites!

C'mon, chum, get into the groove dude.  Get into the mindset of the ones who want earn £££.  Earn the bucks so you can shop AT Tesco.  Not because of Tesco. I shop Safeway, but don't give a to55 where anyone else does, as it's bucks in the bank.

when it comes to shopping you just cant beat Waitrose,  expensive I know but if like me you time it right you can get some cracking good bargains on fresh produce.

date and raisen loaf  £2.89 reduced to 72p
large flavoured cooked chicken  £4.99  reduced to £1.59
wholemeal fresh scones 35p each reduced to 5p each
fresh carrott cake £1.25 per slice reduced to 10p per slice
all varities of fresh fish reduced to silly low prices

and the staff are so friendly and helpful

I hate tescoe's  and only use Sainsbury's as I have over 20,000 reward points  but even siansbury's cant come close to Waitrose for fresh produce

Aldi are building a MASSIVE distribution centre about a mile from the store I clean,... I'm hoping there will be a lot of windows!! :)

In my experience the only problem with getting a contract with a national retailer is they always try to screw you to the floor on price because they believe that they carry alot of clout, and that it is a sought after contract.

For example wanting a single cost per store when not all sites are the same size or layout.
