Their customer service is appalling. Their prices and profits are too high, they force small businesses out of the market, in terms of competition but also in terms of production and not paying enough to their suppliers. All the fools who aren't concerned by this, will be laughing on the other side of their face, when the only place to buy anything is Tesco or Walmart. They've already been in trouble for price fixing between them, wait until they've eradicated all competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be a FAIR price at both supermarkets and pubs, and not overpriced so the greedy can make even more profits out of hard-working people.
