Aldi, 400 UK outlets, profit not known but probably WAY less than Tesco. Aldi is a well run business filling a niche market BUT not in the same league as Tesco.
Chav city for Tesco, its financial performance suggests otherwise !
I am not a sympathiser nor against. If a dispute does not involve my company or livelihood, then I cannot get wound up over it like some. . I had a flight affected but it was a minor inconvenience at the time......
The comparison in your first post had nothing to do with the profits of either company. You inferred that Aldi may employ them Tesco not......Both make profits from the Chav's who shop in them they are not particular where they get money from......Aldi pay their staff more than Tesco pay theirs......I still maintain that the view of the strike is dependent on ones perception of where one sits in society.
A lot of posts on here are very 'Angry from Wells' or 'Disgusted of Surrey' in the form they take....
All very interesting.
