Completely Wrong! When did you see any fast foods or any restaurants reduce the price in last few hours? My local Yo sushi staffs finished work at 5pm. Yo Sushi has a total of 7 hours including peak dinner hours to sell before Tesco shuts at mid-night. Tesco have no right to adjust any sushi prices. Are you going to pay the sushi staffs to work extra at 8pm or 9pm just to put a reduced label on their foods?
My local concession uses the Too Good To Go App to sell off food that would otherwise go to waste. It regularly is sold out. I suggest you have a look at the app? If they're not using it ask them why not?
@@Ilesmarktravelmisc that's really interesting (and horrifying) big thanks for the insight. I'll try contacting head office, but I doubt they'll care what I say. For a while last year I was worrying hugely about the CoOp food waste ending up in landfill, having seen staff shoving it into sacks at the end of the day and their telling me it was "waste". Head office just said that it has some charity schemes, and I could apply for my project to receive a donation (I don't have a project, I'm just a concerned nobody). On a later occasion, a different staff member said that the food being bagged up *does* go to charities, but I'm still suspicious given how they toss the items (for instance, why not keep ready meals upright?) and unsure of what to do.
Different coops run to different rules - they're not like Sainsburys or tesco where everythingis the same from Lands End to John o' Groats. It's why ppl sometimes get told they can use their coop loyalty cards in some stores but not others. Confusing until you get this pointed out to you - facebook.com/groups/1140024986163698/permalink/2255538147945704/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v If you have any problems accessing this link, let me know
His extensive knowlede on the price reduction policies gives a lot of insight into why they've changed it.. People have become so stingy why is it unfair when businesses do the same? Also if most of it was really ending up in a skip they wouldnt have changed it. You think they'd happily lose more money just to spite customers?
why is it all in a trolley at least in mine they stick it in a fridge, does pitshanger lane still have 2 branches of co op on it for no reason about 2 mins walkk apart or has one closed now?
@@ilesmark it makes no sense, one should be a sainsbury local or something, I have noticed they tend to carve places up between themselves like a load of sainsburys in one area and a load of tescos in another so you get no choice.
Well, they aren't supposed to wait until the last day. I buy things with 2 days, 2 weeks, sometimes even 2 months until the best buy date. It depends on what it is. That's how Kroger does it. I get salads 2 days before the best buy date, sometimes less than 50% off but still a better deal than a full priced one. I can get sandwich meat like 10 days before the best buy date for like 70% off. The prices are kinda random and different each time.
Working 50 to 60 hours a week. 6.30am to 6pm work. Gym 7pm to 9pm. 10pm to 6am sleep. Leave me with 1 hours to cook and eat, 1 hour for relaxation. Somtimes i do just buy a meal deal for lunch.
Absolute joke….. and I know for a fact my local co-op take them off the shelves and keep them for themselves…anything that’s reduced gets taken by staff ..
To be fair why shouldn't they get first dibs on stuff? They are probably getting minimum wage & having to deal with alsorts of scumbags. Just like any public facing job. I've seen a lot of very entitled people at the local Tesco fighting over the yellow sticker items, everyone likes a bargain or are on a budget, but fighting over a piece of steak!
@@jonathangraham9989 yes they do, I have applied for co-op before the pay is crap and the hours are nuts they are one of those companies who employ on a basic short hour contract but insist you must be available 7 days between 6am and 11pm, also their cleaners have to travel around multiple stores a day via public transport, not sure they even pay them for the travel hopefully they at least do that.
Plus those sandwiches you can get in a meal deal , another reason they won’t get bought . & don’t get me started on charity shops . Our local charges boutique prices that exceed original RRP prices .
It absolutely is disgusting. Seems to be the same all over the world... Here in Germany it's even a crime when you take the food back out of the trash bin, once the store discarded it... I'd love to see a final hour discount applied on those products (Higher discount for each minute closer to closing)
I work at Yo currently. I always reduce but unfortunately the cheapest the company will allow us to reduce food to is £3.50 so anything under that price regularly can't be reduced. It's unfortunate since all the food that we make has only 2 day shelf life, despite a couple items, like the mochi and doriyaki that have 6 days and the kaiso, edamame, and chicken bites all have 3 days. These were all the things that you showed as going off on the day of the video, these are the things that we literally can't reduce. The companies higher-ups who make the labels won't make a reduction label lower than £3.50. Due to having such a short shelf life on everything the company need to have everything available to buy as long as they possibly can to reduce spoilage while also still making profit. What i'm assuming happened here is, the staff came in, made more sushi (the stuff going off on the next day would have been made that day) reduced what they could, that was going off on that day, all the reduced stuff sold already but the cheaper stuff that they couldn't reduce had not been bought. Most Yo sushi kiosk staff shifts finish at 4pm, I can't speak for this kiosk but for the majority it is 4pm finishes. The situation is unfortunate because we do often have a lot of spoilage but the ingredients are expensive as most of our stuff is imported and the company still needs to make a profit. We have recently started doing Too Good To Go and it's helping a lot!
Hi Squish - many thanks for taking the time to explain this. If there were more people like you working for Tesco / Asda etc then we wouldn't have this problem!
Good for you, Shaun. You clearly have your routine and way of doing things and get away with it - fair play to you. But that relies on people knowing to do this, to say nothing of the horror stories I've heard about some supermarkets pouring bleach etc over food they throw away to stop freegans and homeless people
I wont name the shop becoase i still go there, but the sushi is allways put in sacks and thrown iv been eating it for years and never been ill or my friends once very nice and expensive! Thats what real freegans do!😅

All Tesco cares about is profit so they can keep paying their CEO, Shareholders, Senior and store managers obscene bonuses and share dividends, Fck the Tesco hard grafting shop floor workers on just above minimum wage in a cost of living crisis who only get free items after 9PM when most have clocked off earlier, Tesco would rather waste food off than give it away.
Scotty - the real irony is that, by not reducing the food to clear, not only do they not make a single penny out of selling it but, worse than that, they even have to pay to dispose of it! Doesn't exactly do much for their profit margins, does it? Commercial suicide!
I can't speak for your Tesco but it is actually only a concession there, it is not up to Tesco to tell them how to run it. Maybe they don't want to 'reduce it to clear ' as you have said. Have you ever been in Tesco when they do their 'reduce to clear '. That, to use your word is a truly 'disgusting, ' sight with people behaving like hooligans, jostling and fighting. Appalling behaviour. Why should' Yo Sushi'subject their staff to be mobbed in this way.' Yo Sushi' are concerned about food wastage. Their food gets sent to ',Too good to go'. By the way i am not linked in any way to ',Yo Sushi'.i am just an appreciative customer of theirs and i will not tolerate you deriding them in this way. You are ill informed and you should get your facts right before accusing them of something they are most certainly not guilty of.
Isaura - looks like I'm not the only ill-informed one. While some reduced to clear food DOES get sold via too good to go, that only happens if the food is still within its sell-by date. This food, on the other hand, will not be touched by anybody until the following morning - at which point it will be past its sell-by date and therefore won't be sold via too good to go. Although this may be a YO! concession, the phenomenon of not always reducing food to clear IS practiced by many Tesco stores on a daily basis. Sometimes the scrum around the reduced to clear display can get a bit unseemly, yes.
Hello, no it's not my job - I am just a customer. But seeing good food thrown out like this disgusts me when there's so many starving people in the world....it's like a phobia for me.
You're doing God's work pal. Around 2 years ago in England there was a noticeable change as supermarkets got rid of the 80% discounts for food that is expired on the day. This is even more impactful during a period of high inflation and 'the cost of living crisis'. Best you see is 20% off discounts. So why is this happening ? Where does the food go ? In the bin ?
Setter’s are beautiful dogs I had an English setter that beautifully shaped head a distinguishing feature loving animals English setters are just too prey driven chased anything that moved for someone who doesn’t hunt, so after that I’ve had 3 golden retrievers but I miss my English setter
Last year with no place left to turn I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then a lifelong Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I've never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life forever. I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer 6 times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and so much more. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and do your best to follow, "I've failed many times", the 10 commandments.
