Tesco's plans - an update
As you know, Tesco have a 'national pricing' policy, supposedly ensuring that goods are sold at the same price everywhere.
No longer.
According to Shetland Today, reporting on a meeting between Tesco and Lerwick Community Council,
According to the community council, Tesco may depart from its national pricing policy in the case of the northern and western isles. Mr Wilson (corporate affairs manager) said Tesco was “looking at the additional costs to get goods to the islands”.
No longer.

Jings.......what a surprise
Apparently Tesco's in common with many other supermarkets operate a banding structure. For example all shops in a band A will change the same for goods accross the UK. All shops in a Band B shop will do the same. However the prices in Band A may not equal those in Band B etc.
I bet that their prices are still lower than the Coop's.
It's quite sad of the Co-op to send an objection to the CNES as they think Tesco would be unfair to the town centre. Ehhh who opened an electric department and a travel agency in there Store?? Think I will now vote with my feet over the Co-ops double standards.
Co-operatives too work their pricing policy in a banding system, which is why the wee Co-op in Cromwell Street is more expensive than the Co-op Superstore. There's at least 6 different price bands in operation and a convenience store will be more expensive than a Supermarket, even if they trade under the same name.
Fair enough. Any good or service should be priced based upon its total cost of realization.
If it costs more to ferry kumquats to Harris than it does to get them to Stirling, then yes, that cost should be added to the price.
Damn, you are a whiny sort...
