But over an average basket of goods any pricing differences as high as 5 - 10% should be noticeable. Unless you're buying a very specific/specialised basket of groceries?

I would be very surprised if Tesco had a different pricing policy at every store. Certainly I would have expected the superstores to be on one band and the express stores to be on another. Their delivered price surely is the same everywhere on Island. Promotions change regularly and I can imagine there will be day to day changes I would expect that to be the same for everyone. I have never had delivered goods .Do you have to input a clubcard number to ensure the best offers.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know that some pricing differentials existed between stores in the North West and the original IoM superstore. We are going to have to wait and see what happens in the IoM when all the stores are converted and using Tesco front and back end systems, and are their own region, with some pretty small superstores with a smaller range. I think we won’t know until early 2025 when they’ve had a few months trading and using off site storage and distribution from Pulrose. It'll be interesting to see whether they use a store other than Lake Road for on line delivery, which stores get click & collect, which is now functioning, again from Lake Road, and where Whoosh will be based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I have just taken a trip to the new Port Erin store. Mostly to buy things like toilet and kitchen roll, tin foil, washing up liquid, shampoo, that kind of thing. The exact kind of thing that all has whopping great premiums on it in Castletown. Its laid out like the big Ramsey shoprite really, without hot baps. Prices seemed more lake road than arbory street though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Vic rd is still noticeably busier than in the Shoprite days. Apart from some Shoprite customer that they have picked up it must be to the detriment of Lake rd? Sure, the combined turnover of the two stores will be the same but the overheads will have practically doubled? Shoprite customers will presumably have dual shopped at Tesco as well, so Tesco will not pick up their entire weekly shop. Could it be that sometime in the near future there could be some consolidation of the Tesco estate to ease their running costs? Perhaps the closing of the Onchan and C'Town shops to force customers to the larger stores??? I'm sure Tescos legal department will have the very best 'conditions' in their leases!

People are just confusing Ramsey and Castletown Express pricing. I don't get why people find it hard to understand the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Ingham Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Since it’s a day of the week with a Y in it, I decided to stop at Tesco and buy some beer on the way home. Using the self service checkout with the screen and camera above, I noticed that when it said I would need to be checked for age it immediately went green with no interaction from shop staff, while the person next to me who has clearly had a much less stressful life had to wait for a shop worker to come over and scan their card to authorise it. So, question is are they using face technology to guess if I am over 25? Are they using some sort of tech to recognise me and my club card and remember that a shop worker has previously authorised me? A quick google suggests they were trialing tech a few years ago to guess ages, but I didn’t find a conclusive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
