I know the most evil. Lol. Tescos.

But Lidl has a good strategy and it's doing brilliantly. I think it might be least evil.

@SW-User why Tescos? Asda is a bit sneaky too IMO

SW-User

@Jm31xxx I think Tescos was aggressive with their suppliers and also in how it grew.
Although it's been forced to reshape its strategy.
I'm talking from a business perspective. I'm not too sure with ASDA.

@SW-User Asda has lots of junk food by the check outs. Very hard for people on diets.

SW-User

@Jm31xxx That is all supermarkets. They're there to make money. And if people are not disciplined enough, well that's hardly the fault of a seller in it to make money.

@SW-User but Aldi has healthy food by their checkouts, like nuts and stuff. And even the most disciplined person can have weak moments

SW-User

@Jm31xxx You know, I've never been to ASDA so I don't know their layout. I think a lot of supermarkets now gear towards promoting healthy food but they're not going to stop stocking junk food.

@SW-User I'm just in a bad mood towards all supermarkets in general right now. I have to do a food shop but don't want to leave the house.

The staff are nice in Asda where I live I guess, but the nearby Aldi, they're a bit dodgy

@Jm31xxx Do it online. It stops all kinds of wrong buys, lol.

Wrong buys, that's pretty much 60% of what I leave the store with despite not intending to when I entered.

Yeah I [i]really[/i]should look into the shopping online thing

@Jm31xxx Another trick, when you go shopping for food, make sure you've eaten just before. Lol. It will reduce your wrong impulse food buys drastically.
