Tesco could have made an effort this Christmas... they have the money to do it
and they have the space to do it.
Im talking about setting up a magical display that would use up say 20 feet of shelf space.
A Christmas display with Santa figures, fur trees, deer and reindeer, .. maybe a model train going around... the figures moving .. a kind of Christmas model village.
It would be a wonderful tableau to delight the children and something to delight the eye as you enter the spacious shop.
But no.... "space is money and we cant lose 20 feet of shelf space, not even at Christmas..... bah humbug !"
Instead all we get is the bog standard Christmas tree ... with exactly the same decorations as last year.... pathetic !
My sister was in America last year and some of the displays in the shops were wonderful... even in out of the way places. Customer service a lot better too they really value your custom.

Aren't there enough real, important things going on in the world to get cross about?
Tesco basically sell food, so just go there and buy your sodding food.
Tesco's didn't say this did they.
:rolleyes:
Actually I sense the OP is a parent who is too tight to pay a tenner to take their child somewhere a bit christmassy.
"get your coats kids, we're going to that magical place - tescoland'
"Aisle 6 - trainsets and reindeer"
Pants gifts though.
I remember when I was whipper snapper, we used to go to Reading Butts centre every xmas. You would visit Santa & he gave you a little book that had loads of tickets in for different shops. You would take the tickets to each shop, & get a prezzie from them. It was quality!
This suggestion would have one of two effects if it was raised at board level. The members would die laughing or die with shock. Either way it would cause almost instant death for the entire board of one of the most succesful companies in British history.
I suggest the mods remove this thread before they get wind of it.
That's funny if you dont read the rest of your post
For all intents and purposes they are probably for the kids who's parents are benefit scroungers, in the store stocking up on their booze, paid for with the cold weather payments.
It seems to be common on these forums. Especially when it comes to supermarkets or any other retail stores :rolleyes:
Also people are more likely to take kids to a shopping centre and make more of it but the supermarket tends to be more of an in and out experience so to speak.
Ordered my new mobile phone on-line Thursday 11.15am last week. Delivered following day 10am. No postage/delivery charges either as it was above £50.
And you're moaning because they aren't covering their stores with ruddy Xmas
I've been to the USA at Xmas time and it was annoying. The hotel pumped out horrid carols all day long.
I vowed never to go back over the Christmas period again.
