Years ago Somerfield (remember them?) launched a campaign that they had no loyalty scheme because their prices were low in the first place.
I'm pretty sure Safeway said the same thing when they ditched their Added Bonus Card (ABC) in the early 2000s.
I agree with others that it's pretty easy to ...

There's a lot of crappy plastic tokens around, but every now and again... 😀

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Have recently listened to a few episodes of the Toast podcast on BBC Sounds. Whilst it can be a bit quick and light on detail (25 mins per episode), they've covered the histories and downfall of the likes of Homebase, Woolies, phones4u, Safeway, Our Price etc. as well as other business types ...

Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information board
Recounting the sad state of her local High Street, my mum told me last week that it's "even worse now the Trustee Savings Bank has left town too".
Took me a while to realise that's what TSB originally stood for.

Re: With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?
Just another little shrinkflation report. I noticed Tesco have got the chocolate sweets tubs out for Father's Day. Quite clever really as I think this is the first time I've bought a tub of Quality Street outside Christmas.
Anyway, they've changed them so the purple one (that was moulded to look ...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand
After a seemingly endless "closing down" sale, the former Homebase near me has become The Range.co.uk with Garden Centre by Homebase. I don't think the store actually closed at all during the transition.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Never really warmed to WH Smith on the High Street after they took over John Menzies.
And yet all these years later, both will have finally found their respective niches - working side by side at airports, albeit doing different things.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
As for the self-checkouts, turns out they are rolling out updates after announcing a new deal with NCR Voyix last year.

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread
Ah, my apologies. I thought Market Kitchen was another name for the hot food counter. The changes are perhaps less sweeping than I initially thought. Good.WillPS wrote: Tue 25 Mar, 2025 23.55Which rotisseries are closing? I can only see Market Kitchens, which are a different thing.

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread
Looking forward to the new jingle:
🎶 Fewer reasons to shop at Morrisons 🎶
Seriously though, the fish and hot food counters are/were the main reason I'll occasionally take a trip to a Morrisons. Seems nobody wants to sell me a hot rotisserie chicken any more.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
Never really understand why people kick off at supermarkets for bringing in anti-theft measures (see also scanning receipts to exit). Are they supposed to just… accept loss?
Not against the exit gates - just the ones at my local store don't work well. I thought I just didn't have the hang of ...
