    Tesco's £900 million quid in 6 months

    So how come people there are still being paid minimum wage at best?

    Thats an obscene profit...I thinks Gordo is targetting the wrong people!

    Don't knock it mate. Where do you think the majority of IT contractors are working nowadays? Shelf stacking is Britain's only boom industry.

      Why is it obscene?
      Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

        It's obscene because it is unfair.

        Why should a 16 year shelf stacker old be paid less than the Chief Executive of Tesco?

        If those shelves didn't get stacked then the Chief Exec would be fired.

        I say that spotty 16 year olds should all be paid at least £250,000 a year and be given share options too.

        You know it makes sense in a Socialist state.

          Their market share is estimated to be 30%, but somehow Tesco manages to avoid anti-trust investigations, its all right there Gov. Supermarkets are effectively holders of local monopoly and thus should be treated as such, specifically when it comes to how they deal with the supply chain -- Tesco is like Dixons, and do you know how Dixons deals with the suppliers?

            Nothing will happen to Tescos whilst the New Lie are in government.

            When the New Lie stop being in Government then many an interesting story will emerge.

              Because they manage to get officials to count separately the smaller shops like tesco metros and new tesco corner stores.

              Even though they all sell basiclly the same base products, government treat them as different areas of industry. Was because of this that tesco was able to buy up a large chain of mini marts a few years ago without getting the monopolys commision involved

              Was a interesting program about how tesco operates about two months ago that showed all the "tricks" they pull, on both the government and the consumer.

              Though guess it could be worse, could be wal-mart (aka asda) with market dominance

                  subsidying ?

                  The act of giving money in order to kill something?

                    Bribing is probably a better word, even though Lord Salisbury is not a small contributor, but his firm is struggling.
