Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
It's a big difference between Sainsbury's and Morrisons - all the Morrisons counters are back open and have been for weeks. Our Sainsbury's has the pizza counter open and hot food. Three have been open a few weeks and we thought more of them might have by now. The cafe is open though it had no cust...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
It'll be interesting to see how Asda unpicks itself from Walmart's infrastructure and influence. What happens to George? I hope it doesn't mean the end of Asda's very keen fuel pricing policy; for years they have consistently been a negative influence on fuel pricing in any area they serve. Walmart...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times
On a different matter - anyone else a little bit unsettled by how every business has decided that Zoom is an acceptable long term solution for meetings? If Zoom ever failed (even if only for a day) the consequences for business not getting done is rapidly becoming dire. I think the impact would dif...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times
Pret skews middle class London based journalists pretty highly. See also the way every journalist spoke about Greggs sausage rolls as if they were from another planet, the last time they were in the news. Yes if they wanted to be less London centric they’d focus on Greggs rather than Pret, and prob...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
Waitrose is to merge their loyalty card scheme with John Lewis. https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/service-and-availability/john-lewis-and-waitrose-to-roll-out-joint-loyalty-scheme/648462.article?fbclid=IwAR21GdIxdzZN5Qgz11R5C_Anzlw0mpUcq_enxj8n4xORaOWg1eiXNnpGHSs I was confused by this because I thought ...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
I wouldn't be surprised if rent is paid to the parent company from 'Argos Limited' for those concessions. It's no different to commercial radio, where the local businesses that operate the licence pay fees to the larger company such as Global or Bauer, although it's the same overall business moving...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
Any idea how many Argos stores will never reopen? I was in Caernarfon and the store remains closed. There was still an unopened pallet of catalogues from January. Are the stores closed because they don't have sufficient staff to operate them, staff couldn't socially distance within them, to ease pre...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread
My local store had the same daft arrangement of a sign with plastic bags above. About a week later though they had been replaced with the new style bags.

The SmartShop scanners that I have seen on a recent installation are released simply by pressing a Release Handset image on the scanner and then scanning the Nectar card from the handset.
