All shoppers now tend to get drawn towards tesco...even though Tesco is a bit more expensive..on lot of items.<br />Today saturday...I wonder where all the customers have disapeared?<br />We here are a Family run bussiness and most of our livelyhood depends on selling News,Mags,sweets and drinks....all these Tesco does at the same prices. Speaking to a few other shops, I think Tesco will have a negative effect on shopkeepers who will struggle and will not be able to maintain their service and therefore their shops leading to a spiral going down.<br />If you see one at Lewisham way..notice the shops next to Tesco...half their shelves are empty or the shelves have been filled by one item just to make it look full.These perticular shops have lost customers to Tesco...and spiraling down.<br />You the customers will make a difference to lot of Independent family owned bussiness.<br />Tesco don't and will not charge Electric or Gas...why? because it is not a money making bussiness.where as local shops do this..the basic need for customers in Deptford.<br />I get reassured that I will still get custom from many of my customers.....and lots have proved that to me. I get customers with tesco bags,but come over and buy Newspapers and mags. THANK YOUAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
