I work at Tesco and am looking for some newer opportunities and long term job security for a while,
As you might have read Tesco has been less busy this year, and am wondering if they decide that some stores should be closed down, which one would most likely be first to do so, Tesco Superstore or Extra?

Tesco Extra the running costs staff, utilities etc are larger if the customers are no longer coming through the door in large enough quantities the stores will be unaffordable to be a viable option.
The large new Tesco Extra and Dobbies in East Kilbride which is a massive town was scrapped due to this.
I could understand the Dobbies part. Having a garden centre in Scotland would be like having a shop selling thermals in the Sahara!
I'm JOKING! ...... I got sunburnt once in Berwick, which is almost on the same latitude as EK.
I agree with you this summer (if you can call it that) has been terrible I think we have had two sunny days in total. It's just constant grey dull sky. My grass still grows constantly though for some reason.
There isn't many Dobbies up here actually or garden centres. East Kilbride badly needs a Tesco it must be the only large town in the UK without both an Asda and a Tesco. Asda has pulled out of a large new store where I live due to poor market conditions like Tesco.
I have two Co-ops near me which are both getting busier people don't seem to mind being ripped off. I don't buy food from them after finding MUD in my potato salad.
True it's amazing the shift in shopping culture you used to go mostly to comet or curry sauce for electrical goods/appliances now people buy online from places like ao.com because it is cheaper and less hassle.
What position do you work at the superstore?
If your the trolley pusher then its a no brainer
How could we possibly have an opinion - seeing as we don't have ANY real context?
Currently work as customer assistant.
Would it be better if I stayed in a small store or go to a bigger one.
Don't want to leave then the bigger one closes down.
Jesus, you started the thread 6 months ago and you're STILL asking this?
What are the better opportunities?
