Kopek Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) IOM, you're failing to recognise the Tesco have a business model which they follow in the UK, my argument is that we are such a small part of that model that they could vary it to keep the whole Island happy with Tesco! If enough of us make a fuss, they may well do? Edited March 25 by Kopek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesde Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 5 minutes ago, IOM said: So explain why the prices in Lake Road are now higher ( relative to across ) than prior to the acquisition. No one has to explain. Every business is having price increases due to the all the reasons we all know. If people think that Tesco don't give good value they will choose to shop elsewhere. Shopping isn't just about price. Market forces may or may not cause a company to change pricing policies,but those decisions are made by them and whinging and whining at every decision they make is just ridiculous. They are still in the process of investing in rather run down stores in a move that will cost vast sums. No other retailer seemed interested in the opportunity to come here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 A delivery 🤣 you have more chance of winning the lottery and ONCHAN is hardly a remote village….how very dare you !!!!!! 🤣 I was happy with Onchan Shoprite at least I knew people down the road weren’t getting the same product cheaper because they lived in the CITY of Douglas and sold by the same Company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is inflation in the wider economy that’s expected and prices will likely rise to follow suit . But what has happened here is the Tesco Lake Road prices have risen independently of any inflation just in recent weeks . Yes stores get refurbished new ones are built I could show you any number of these across . The difference is those businesses are investing in their store estate for their customers and don’t charge higher prices when those investments happen . Indeed Tesco do exactly they across build new stores , refit old ones and don’t increase prices in that area once complete . And I don’t really get this whole issue about people making comments on here or so called whinging and whining as some like suggest the last time I looked this is a forum for sharing views and opinions . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the victoria Rd Tesco further from onchan than central Douglas? Can't be much in it can there. It hardly the incredible journey is it?

Fred the shred Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You are missing the point. A product I buy is a different price in three places I shop in Shoprite,M&S and the Coop only coppers but different I don’t object to that but I think the Company, Tesco, should charge the same amount for a product when the stores are close together so no real excuse for the differential it is just cheap and low. Anyway I am bored now….goodnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means tell us what you have done, but don't expect anything to change just because you have whined about stuff here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take some of my earlier posts on this subject I clearly articulated where the price differences existed and what was happening. To some posters this was something they were not aware of . By not providing an outlet to let people say what they think or explain what they are seeing could be preventing people from understanding some facts . Of course once people have those facts and information it’s up to them to make up their own minds . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People read these forums they can either agree , disagree or change their mind based on what they have seen . They may discuss what they have read with friends or families and that may be of help . It could be interpreted that you are very happy with Tesco ( it’s fair enough if you are that’s your right of opinion) but by saying to people they should not be commenting on here might suggest that your opinion is the only valid one in town and that’s the end of it . I don’t really get the negativity to comment I mean if you don’t like it don’t read it or move on that’s everyone’s right . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have said people should stop commenting, but have said these comments would be better addressed to Tesco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
