You probably wouldn't.


When you merge two businesses
and quarter the profits, you are
incompetent.

Their strategy is medium to long term. Merging two supermarket chains
is
not
that easy and will not return big licks next week.

.. or any other week until they learn how to do merchandising
properly.

Their range is the same as all others.

It may be where you live. If so, the other stores must have put a
pretty poor selection of stuff on their shelves.

Nope. All have the full range.

I see no difference, just a smarter
shop and well dressed, polite staff,

I've seen the opposite. The reasonably
decent Safeway staff have
left and where they have been replaced,
there is not an improvement.

The Safeway staff had cheap looking frumpy tracksuit tops, which made them
look like Chavs. Now the Morrison's staff have smart crisp shirts and
blouses and are much more polite.

They don't even do what they say they can do. They circulated a
leaflet saying that their butchery department (which in practice is a
meat dispensing counter) would be willing and able to obtain any cut
or preparation of meat to order within a day as long as it was
seasonally available.

I asked them for a joint prepared for a crown roast. They couldn't
do it and made some excuse about it being out of season. Crap. All
the other supermarkets plus the local butcher had fresh versions.
This is not difficult.

I seldom go there any more, as it appears is the case with a large
number of people in the area .....

Because you think the shelves are full pies, that is what you said.
