Tesco...Part 3

So when it comes to the actual Tesco's development in Macclesfield (as opposed to the roundabout) I can't honestly say that I'm that up in arms about it.

I don't buy into the arguments about it being another nail in the coffin of competition. The expansion to the shop will be all about poor quality clothes and vacuum cleaners. It's going to be a problem for Currys and TG Hughes, but not anyone else.

Whilst I'm saddened by the demise of local butchers and greengrocers, this isn't going to be made worse by this store redevelopment. And it wasn't the fault of Tesco's in the first place.

Indulge me and I'll explain why.

I was sickened by a woman who was at the consultation at the same time as me. She started off by complaining that they're killing the local competition, and then went on to complain that they're not very good at keeping the shelves stocked.

What a hypocrite.

For her to know that the store is often badly stocked she must have shopped there on many occasions - so she is the exact reason that the other shops are closing.

All Tesco's can do it build a shop. We each chose whether to shop there or not. This hypocrite choses to shop there, but then moan about Tesco's in order to make herself feel better.*

We chose not. We don't and won't shop at Tesco's. Guarentee you won't see us in there.

But you won't catch us moaning about it either, because we don't need to make ourselves feel better.

How about you?
