Idiotic senior management at Tesco – well done.

Tescos in Gerrards Cross

You probably don’t remember the mention of Tesco in a place called Gerrards Cross some years ago now.  Well in a scheme to create land in a railway hole the thing collapsed and bankrupted the builder and started a who got the blame for the disaster, many lawyers are still probably getting rich from that even today.

I hear from some adopt a monkey sponsors (you can also sponsor an insect called George) whom live there that it is now open.  While six years late opening and most of the residents there not liking it is also taking business from the many other local Tesco shops as people shop there than say at the other local Tesco shop nearby.

With deliveries and other shops its not alone and tesco management have made it a zero sum game for there staff.  Clearly with those idiots running Tescos the future of other retailers is assured.

If you have stock in Tesco i’d be questioning them on a policy of making existing shops less popular and million+ development deals.  It can be spun both ways – Idiots might say better coverage and more profit, realists will say  they had that coverage without the spend to start with.
