Supermarket giant Sainsbury's is axing 3,500 jobs as it shuts all its deli, fish and meat counters and closes swathes of standalone Argos stores.
Well, those lucky enough to still have a good local butcher (mine recently closed and the new one is now halal...) will be OK.
But what about the rest of us? I suppose we'll have to go to Tesco or Morrison's.
Sainsbury's said its decision to close its fresh food counters and shut 420 standalone Argos shops by March 2024 would save the group £60million and enable it to 'better reflect customer demand.'
If you really cared about customer demand you wouldn't be telling all your customers 'From now on, you eat only plastic-wrapped identikit steak, or shop with our competitors, ok?'...
Sainsbury's may be starting the downwards slide that proves the saying, "Get woke, go broke." I hope so. Are they still insisting customers bend the knee before entering?
ReplyDeleteAs a regular customer of the colossus I was always drawn towards pampering à la Sainsbury. That confusing apostrophe aside, the place was never cheap and now here is something else to bear in mind when setting off for the shopping.

ReplyDeleteI suspect you're right. Why do business with a company that clearly despises you?
"...the place was never cheap ..."
No, Aldi and Lidl are currently the best for a budget.
"‘We want to be the most inclusive retailer where colleagues love to work and customers love to shop,’ a spokesperson told us."
Remember when companies just wanted to make a profit, rather than be everyone's friend?
