Tesco's ploy seems to be to get people to be a sort of member of their
"family" and buy from them regardlessly. So when Tesco open a large
"Extra" type of store 'everybody' assumes that they must offer the
best VFM and buys everything there, to the detriment of local
specialist shops. This is especially serious if the Tesco store opens
_in_ a city centre rather than suburbia.
