Re: UKNM: Tesco's token effort

[Dan Leighton]

token?


1. we haven't been to a supermarket since first using tescos about a

year ago.


(apart from that brief interval in the middle when they got some noncey

design agency to fuck up their system so it didn't work anymore - anyway

they changed back to the original design now so that's ok - shurley

another thread about screwing up good existing sites is in order

here...)


2. if you buy cat food like us (50 tins a time) and then work out how

many times you have to lift the half pound (lb not �) things between

supermarket shelf and larder (7 at last count)  that's a lot of lifting

and carrying - tescos saved me hundreds on my chiropractor bill...


3. i am sure 'housewives', or homeworkers like me, don't give a monkey's

about an exact delivery time (unless their picking up the kids) - so

that's not a problem.


4. and �5 for delivery is just irrelevant in comparison to the time,

hassle and petrol bill.


5. is there a sad case out there who actually enjoys going to

supermarkets?  in which case their market is anyone.


in years to come, i get the feeling we are going to look back on this

decision of tesco's to hive off their online business as one of the

turning points in the development of the new uk economy...


the day the big guys finally began to get it - big is not beautiful


(anybody from barclays on this list?)


cheers all
