They’re paid more to work harder, but overall you have fewer jobs and lower prices. And most people here want an Aldi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 1 hour ago, 2112 said: They will be jobs relevant to the management and day to day operations involved within running these supermarkets/retail outlets What makes you say that? Shoprite stores already have managers reporting into head office. All that’s changed is that it’ll be a different head office. There may be additional warehouse jobs, if they’re going to use the Pulrose warehouse to store and distribute to the existing superstore as well as the Shoprite stores. Things wil be delivered in cages, already sorted at the source distribution centre with stuff for individual stores. There may be driver jobs for additional distribution. Shoprite appears adequately staffed with shelf stackers and checkout operators. So, where could the extra jobs actually be created? I’m hoping that they’ll be able to set up collect by car on line shopping at, say, Victoria Road. That’ll take pressure off delivery slots. Perhaps they could allocate one of the Shoprite stores as a delivery hub. Perhaps having the Pulrose distribution warehouse will free up sufficient ambient and chill storage space at Lake Road for collect by car or additional delivery slots. That'll create jobs for pickers and delivery drivers. Id be happy to do click & collect grocery shopping. I do it in Spain, I’m too far from the store for them to deliver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point, but ultimately whatever jobs created are down to Tesco management and certainly not for our politicos to question. Reading the many comments on Facebook and there is a wishlist of wants and expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 It would be interesting to see the different terms of employment for Tesco shop staff as against Shoprite staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of derailing, the best coleslaw I have ever had was the one supplied to Robinson's by Salt n Pepper. Tried to find an equivalent recipe, unsuccessfully.

They didn't buy a pup they bought the shoprite empire to keep any opposition out , I could not believe the platitudes coming out of our politico's yesterday , quote there is room for more competition ,if someone else wishes to open up , exactly where and with what ? Tesco and M and S will be getting the best transport rates , and in a highly competitive industry are the market leaders , I would be worrying about Spar and some of the smaller guys , especially if they decide to open Tesco express in every town on the isle of Man , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizo Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Port Erin is going to be a convenience store especially as they have convenience store prices already added to Tesco standard items. I’ve noted a few items are as much as 8 or 9% more expensive in Port Erin than Douglas. Don’t believe the hype. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be because Tesco are just supplying Shoprite, not operating the stores yet, so will have Shoprite's mark up, possibly?
