When you say "treating their customers like shit", how do you mean? I get that the rapidly raising prices for a weekly shop are going to annoy people, especially if their income isn't raising at the same rate, but that's happening across the board and the average Tesco worker has no control over inflation. Maybe the queues may be long some times of day but thats a decision you make as to when to go shopping.

I mean, Tesco and others are being scrutinized for price increases beyond those justified by increased costs of of manufacturing. They harvest their customer's data, or make them pay more. They discontinue larger "bulk" size of goods, forcing people to buy smaller more expensive sizes.

I've now found that the difference between a Tesco shop and a Waitrose shop (the other one I have locally) has become much smaller, and I get higher quality produce. Asda, Lidl and Aldi are much more worth the trip now.

In my opinion Tesco have used Inflation as an excuse to go to town on price rises.
