The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

[Mr Q]

To keep up with their habit of adding mezzanines to normal stores and making them Extras I suppose. They could stick another four floors in here quite easily and making it a Tesco Hyper, selling everything from cars to koalas.

Watch out for koalas. They're not as cute and cuddly as you might initially think...

They're even CUTER?

Only if you like things pissing on you.

[Sput]

Despite the rumours: no. I get the impression koala piss smells much worse than most piss too.

[Mr Q]

Possibly - I haven't done a comprehensive piss-odour test to compare.

Llamas are worse.

Drop bears, however, are far more dangerous than either.

I believe most Tesco stores are now built with the structure already in place to add a mezzanine to them, but they wait a couple of years to see how well the store performs before spending the extra money on installation.

And I imagine that during the planning process for the initial store there is no mention of any potential future plans for a mezzanine, with them hoping after a few years that everyone will love them and there will be no objections to the plan.

Well quit slacking! We don't pay you to half-do a job.

Exactly. And as granny used to say, "A job half done makes a mess in your pants".

This Tesco in Aston is similar in design to a Tesco's Fresh and Easy store near Los Angeles.




EDIT: Well not really but I think they may have borrowed the roof idea.
EDIT: The more I look at it the more I see how wrong I originally was.

Agreed.

Seems they have B&Q in China.
