POWERFUL supermarkets are on the verge of becoming Britain’s “one-stop shop” by selling everything from football tickets to four-bedroom homes, experts have warned.
With bigger stores already having as many as 100,000 different product lines, it is only a matter of time before there is nothing “the silent, slightly guilty majority” of shoppers will not be able to get from the major chains, according to the trade magazine the Grocer.
And this is a bad thing?
Golf-driving nets, airline tickets, pet insurance and electricity supplies are among the unconventional items available in supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda and Morrisons. Some offer discounts on Open University courses and children’s nurseries and are planning to have GP surgeries and community police services on sites.
It’s terrible, just terrible. I can’t possibly think why they haven’t banned supermarkets yet.
FFS.
