Rejoice!! Tesco is back in the black

Price cuts galore apparently, so basically they have been trying to rip the punters off for years then without success

Tesco is unpopular because it was successful and we dont like that sort of thing over here.

A profitable Tesco is good for tens of thousands of employess and their families and looking at their margins nobody can sensibly claim they are ripping people off.

a retail analyst said on the news that they make 0.3p profit for every £1 spent in their stores. In the past it was 8p per £1.

They, (amongst others) decimated small businesses with the same tactics that are being used against them by Aldi/Lidl/Poundworld etc.

Tesco are/have been ripping you off for years, and now they are back in the black after a few hiccups...... now celebrate being ripped off you fluckers.

That margin will rise though. The 8% margin was the highest level just like 0.3 will probably be the lowest. Its just comparing two extremes. Not exactly quality analysis but thats what the media loves these days.

they will never see a penny of my money

Mr Lewis hailed the supermarket's £162m statutory pre-tax profit for the year to 27 February, compared to last year's £6.3bn loss, as "significant progress".

People at the self service checkout must be getting more honest.

I suspect they would & have not hesitated in cutting thousands of jobs with the invention of self service tills, yes everyone likes to cut costs but this is done solely at the expense of staff to maximize profits, I doubt their main priority is the welfare of staff.

Thats the same for every business large and small in this world.

Some people might say I'm a rip-off merchant. The difference is, I'm not selling water, electricity, bread or milk. No one needs to buy a magazine.

Tesco shares have just fallen by 7% after the chief executive warned that profit improvement would slow in the first half of this yearCould it be that  the recent improvement was a flash in the pan

I love shopping at my local 24 hour Tesco.Lots of cut price items every week.Can't see what you're all moaning about.

Either can I.

i work for 'em - we're getting our our bonus in shares this year

did you not see the programme with Hugh Fearnley-W and how they treat their suppliers?

if you were a supplier you'd never sell to Tesco, knowing what they would do to you.

I didn't see it, is there a re-run somewhere?

the store in dublin does a speciality in selling stock past its sell by date. saw sliced ham with sell by date of february being sold in march

Is the bonus usually cash then??

good for the imune system

Us waitrose trolley lads get our bonus cash n tax free.

slow counter

they skinted their suppliers by squeezing them by the proverbials, and not settling invoices for months on end.

+ fiddled the books when things were looking shakey.

but yeah, who gives a monkeys as long as they discount their tuna.
