tesco stores open on boxing day!

[gina32]

my two local tesco stores are both open on boxing day, dont you think thats awful?

[Jumbuck]

No

[daffy654]

No,there is still shopping to be done on Boxing day,things like milk and bread will possibly need to be replenished.

[Bbbananas]

Yes I jollly well do.
Heathens and Moneygrabbers.

[gina32]

youre surely having a laugh

[albaqwerty]

No, it's not awful. The bookies are open too.

[daffy654]

Who is having a laugh?
Why shouldn't they open,it is just another saturday afterall.

[Bbbananas]

I've got enough to last me a fortnight. I intend going nowhere near a supermarket for at least that long. Damned places, full of evil greedy pushy horrid people.

[annie0000]

Yes, our Tesco is shut but Sainsbury's are open. Surely we can all manage without a supermarket for two days?

[Jingoist]

So closed shops are better then open ones? What about people that have forgot or ran out of supplys as i will have with the alcohol BY JINGO!

[gina32]

the people who are saying they should open. to be honest i dont think it will be long before they are open on christmas day

[redman41]

My local Morrisons is closed Xmas Day and Boxing Day.....re-open Sunday.
My Shell Garage round the corner is open Xmas Day...greedy sods

[daffy654]

Many shops have opened on Boxing Day for several years now,why should this one be any different? I really can't see what the problem is,if you don't need to go shopping then why is it bothering you?

[steg]

shops will only open if there is the demand, which there obviously is

[Jingoist]

Gina not all people especially the old and the poor with small fridges and limited food space to store 1 montchs worth of food so if they can go out at any time to get whatever they need surely this is convinient for them, so as christmas is a time for sharing let us give them more opening hours BY JINGO!

[Bbbananas]

Yeah - just stay away gina.
Avoid the sweaty frantic crowds & stay at home with a hot toddy & a jolly good book.

[gina32]

ive never known large supermarkets open on boxing day before. it doesnt bother me as such i just think its greed, they are open all year round, cept easter and if you cant go without for 1 day then its a poor look out

[albaqwerty]

depends on how some people survive on their budgets. As Jingo says, not everyone can store enough food for a small siege.

[Jingoist]

BY JINGO theres a recession and a lot of business's have lost money if they can get some of it back and keep their customers happy and loyal to them then why does it anger you so much?

[gina32]

how about some of the workers who dont want to work as they have families, and please dont say if they dont want to they dont have to
