One of Tesco's few selling points for its new store that will in any way benefit the local community is that it will have a 'café' at the front. Leaving aside the fact that there are a number of perfectly good local cafés whose business would be damaged by this, any suggested 'community benefit' may not last.
The Ledbury Reporter carries a story today about a local Tesco 'balancing the changing needs of retail' by, er.... replacing its café with more space to sell food and stationery.
The first comment on the paper's website below the story reads...
'More evidence, if it were needed, that Tescos is a corporate mammoth that neither recognises or cares for any community it foists itself upon through our inadequate planning system. Just say 'no' to them and shop elsewhere.'
We couldn't put it any better! Of course, as we reported recently, there are other reasons why you might not want to go to a Tesco café in the first place...
