Well done Tesco 👏
I didn’t know Tesco could be so interesting
Can we talk about how Tesco have taken away staff flexibility in its entirety just to save money. I worked as driver for 2 years and what pushed me over the edge caused me to leave, was the level of micromanagement, lack of flexibility to do the job and the wage not fairly reflecting on the jobs worth.
being proud of a badge for 40 years, quite honourable tbh like being able to stick at a job for that long you must enjoy it. cool

Even Tesco would have been shafted if it wasn't for the dockers making sure their goods got off the ships and loaded onto trucks. The Dockers were the real hero's, making sure even hospitals got their goods. they got no extra pay and still turned up for their shifts and got no thanks or recognition. To all the dockers out there, thanks guys & girls, you're my hero's.

A special well done to the people who work for Eddie Stobart. Stobart's do most of Tesco's refrigerated and non-perishable transport in the U.K. Thank you to their drivers for risking their lives during this time.
The picking system is GENIUS this is proof that fully integrated systems improve efficiency
bet they made sooooo much money through the pandemic. Hope the workers who didn't get furloughed got a big bonus

Why do even the long-term employees call it "Tesco's"? It is "Tesco." You wouldn't say "Lidl's" or "ASDA's." There is no apostrophe.

What about all the local shops and farms
So did other major supermarkets, and let's not forget local shops who carried on regardless
It was hilarious watching people unnecessarily panic buying, EVEN ONLINE! Now people just don’t care.
Didn't realize Tesco was the only supermarket in the uk
The workers in this video trust me its all fake smiles
Strange how none of them talked about how tesco gave every tesco staff a 10% pay increase in their hourly rate and then took away that 10% they made throughout the pandemic in the yearly bonus Also let's talk about the fact that tesco sold non essential items in its stores that were not only non essential but actively incouraged you to break the rules put in by the government, things like camping equipment, swimming pools and other items that encouraged you to break the law

I feel like they reduced the milk limit to make people come back again. i don't drink milk but two small gallons of milk for an entire family aren't enough, thus causing them to return to market much more often.

Remember the only pandemic is peoples fear.
Nature provides us with enough food for every living creature on the planet. Farmers and supermarkets have the responsibility of growing, harvesting and distributing it responsibly. Billions of pieces of single-use plastic from each supermarket. Abusive and polluting factory farming. Selling products tested on animals and burning the rainforest for palm oil or soya. Clearly the food industry is not doing its job properly. Governments should legislate on these issues before it is too late. Tesco are responsible and should stop operating its business in such a dark, horrible and destructive manner.
What do you mean feeding the country? Sounds strange - as if people don't pay Tesco when buying food... I think the title Should be how Tesco ensure supplies during Pandemic.

Little bit of advice if someone complains about something in their life listen and remember. If they continue to complain then pull them up and give them advice. If someone says they enjoy doing something or don’t complain about something then keep your opinion to yourself because you come across judgmental, narrow minded and projecting yourself onto that person.
