Say if you have a falty batch of bread and you take it back then what are Sainsbury's supposed to do? Take it over to Iceland and ask them for the batch number etc?
As for Sainsburys buying bread from Iceland, this is one person from one store, it is not a normal thing.
As Sainsburys said "Our colleagues were trying to be helpful but on this occasion got it wrong." Yep, they certainly did get it wrong.
You live and learn.
He probably had sales targets to hit which equals bonuses for management.
It's about 30p cheaper too.
I don't know who gave the go ahead for that employee to buy the bread, or as someone else said, where the money came from.
I've never heard anything like it. If we sell out of bread, then we have no bread! It's very simple.
It was one person or a couple of people, not the whole flipping company.
Sainsburys is no different to any other supermarket, simple as that.
