Most interestly is the continued refusal to put the work onto the PID workload screen – this allows H/O and the Store Manager to ascertain if and when the task has been completed. . . . and as previously refferred to , this screen produces the Due Diligence legal paperwork, this means that there will be absolutely no papertrail for this entire activity!

The usual series of messages have been coming down via the SM’s Email system and the Compliance managers “Workplan”,  perhaps the biggest message that the SM’s should send back is the adage “Proper Preparation Prevents Piss-Poor Performance” – Increasinging centralisation (stores cannot even order their own stock any more!) and the obvious out-of-touch teams within the ivory towers at Cheshunt, truly show that Tesco is an arrogant, task focussed retailer, struggling to maintain its performance.  We can only hope that the press now begins to report properly on some of the dubious tactics employed by TESCO…………

Some Price Examples:

“Tesco claimed yesterday to be freezing the price of Fairy non-biological at £4.50 as part of a “£12 million VAT freeze” on thousands of products. However the data shows that the non-biological washing powder was selling for £4 in October!”

“Tesco (this month) increased 500 prices in bedding, cooking equipment, crockery and other items that are subject to VAT by similar amounts.”

“Tesco  increased the price of 1,577 popular items – some 6.3 per cent of its range – in December.”

“Britain’s biggest supermarket Tesco has said it will increase VAT on fuel,”
