what is your game on this board?
Empty checkouts are not good for investors. Sainsbury's share price has collapsed -65% in the past 15 years, and it is currently lower than 1988, a third of a century ago, when Maggie Thatcher was still in power!
Long may it last!! nice quiet civilised checkout in Sainsbury today.
Was in an Aldi over the weekend. Never seen a UK supermarket so busy. Every till was 5 or 10 shoppers deep, trolleys brimming over with stuff, and staff working flat-out at 100% capacity. Suspect the next Kantar numbers will show yet another huge marketshare leap for Aldi UK this fourth quarter.

''Many of their shelves are simply empty''
it doesn't help when you have the likes of Gazzleberry spending his time disrupting the Lloyds board virtually everyday, instead of putting goods on the shelves.
It is not as if he is a Lloyds shareholder - just uses it for his politics.
Politics aside, my local store has become a joke. I used to like to do scan as you shop but they 'upgraded' it and now it is a disaster. In many certain parts of the store the signal is lost but you still might get a beep to make you think the item has registered - it has not. I check very carefully to ensure every item is accounted for.
Today, when I reached the till, all the customers had been selected for basket check, including me. There was only one staff member to do the checks!! I went over to scan my few items through self-scan then handed the scanner I'd used to a very grateful staff member. So much for making it easy for the customer.
Many of their shelves are simply empty, but they share that problems with most stores these days.
time ever looked at tsco board. OMG it`s infected by at least moronic clown clear aim of dissing tesco. -leave you to guess -should not be hard . 4 days ago he said mordaunt no chance , rishi fading . it will be good to have Boris back.
someone to follow haha
Not sure on a full scale takeover but rumours are AO maybe taking up space in stores for electrical goods sales. Would be a good partnership and good use of space in larger stores.
Some folks live in dreamland! Tesco has been thru 2 major recessions in 15 years and the share price has plunged a staggering -65% in that timeframe. There is nothing "defensive" about Tesco whatsoever.
GazzleB > Thanks for the heads up 10-20% it's a great start it only leaves 90-80 % to attract in case of a hostile battle. if you get my idea although why amazon has not moved yet is mind-boggling all these outlets for their deliveries come on its ats a win-win scenario with their every last-mile delivery cost! think out loud how much they could save on fuel and delivery costs it's just insane to think it's not going to happen in some shape or another form it's inevitable in my opinion
skier1 - I agree have aired this since the summer especially now that the pound is getting kicked down the aisle any perpetrator incl Silchester/Amazon would have an extra discount basket to shop with getting discounted value of the pound as a currency hedge stake in the company.
A takeover is probably the best option for Tesco. It just doesn't seem to have the skills to beat the bigger or more efficient rivals from Germany and America. Sell up to maybe Aldi or Suning, perhaps Amazon.
Could Tesco be the next big UK supermarket to get bought out ?
That's confidence. It is a bargain at current price though :)
Apologies, £750m. I've been up since 4am and it's catching up with me now.
Surprised no-one else has picked up on that.. someone has notified they've bought 5% of TSCO. £3bn at market rate. Silchester not a firm I am familiar with.
Lol.
Jack's flopped because it was rubbish. Rubbish name, rubbish lines, rubbish retail presence (too few stores, in the wrong places).
this used to be a sensible forum about tesco shares.
now its just a lood of blah blah blurb.
what a load of *******s.
BYE BYE
SVEND using that space would require significant upgrades to the structure of the building to support the weight and defo not cost effective.
Oh dear you say use the grey stuff. So you invite Amazon to use Tesco as a hub. Think it through and you will realise that Tesco competes with Amazon for business. Lets hope our bod are not stupid enough to come up with such a solution. JJ
Skier/Vulture1/55555 > Come on let us use the grey matter between our ears here all that 'free' space in the 'mega stores' in terms of ceiling height is nothing more than golden space for basically additional space for further expansion opportunities into saying the 2nd floor for other areas for sales outside peak shopping hours when the car park is otherwise less occupied even though it is already large to cater for the 'normal' peak day to day shopping traffic. Tesco could become a hub for say Amazon deliveries instead of the last 1-mile home delivery depots amazon are building if they together used the spare space in the existing Tesco stores not only would you be able o pick up your daily groceries but anything on order would be waiting to be collected while in the store anyway, it's a win-win for both companies and convenience for the customer no longer has to rely on/bother his/her next door neighbour for deliveries and not to mention the saved fuel delivery cost on the environment! or you could also add it to your home delivery service which has expanded aggressively due to the pandemic anyone reading this you heard it here first-time DYOR IMOO
Skier clearly you have no idea about retail. The only thing that actually made any sense is lowering the roof. Now obviously you cant lower the physical roof but you can put in a false roof that over time would vastly reduce the energy cost of heating the huge stores.
Other than that you will not beat aldi and lidl at that game Tesco tried with the "Jacks" nonsense, Your average Tesco employee is also less able than your average Aldi or Lidl employee. Big fat diabetes type 2 berth who walks with a stick is not going to get a job at the discounters.
However on company news sales seem to be recovering a bit just now. Could be a good buy at this price I know I put alot into the company SAYE scheme this time around.
Skier
Car parks -20% I could agree with in certain settings, shrinking parking spaces when everyone seems to be moving towards huge US-style cars (well for now while folk can afford them but I digress)? Absolute no-no. They have already made huge cuts to staff headcount via attrition and also a small amount of redundancies.
