Title: Tesco's suppliers
Post by: Highlander on April 08, 2007, 21:44:07 PM
We hear a lot these days about Tesco's and their suppliers - mostly negative.

I had a meeting on Friday with a fellow who bags carrots for Tesco. He was telling me that he has to hit a quality rating of something like 99.7 % (couldn't swear that was the exact number) and that his company had missed it by 0.4 %.

I said that I thought that was pretty good, but he said that Tesco's weren't particularly happy.

I ventured that I thought that was ridiculous. His response...

No it isn't - Tesco's are a world class company - we chose to work for them and it's up to us to match their standards.

Food for thought ?...............
