An interesting article and how can you argue with the success? Living in the UK I had to shop at Tesco and Sainsbury's not by choice but out of necessity, in the UK other than M&S there is no reasonable choice on offer. In the early 90s, Sainsbury's above
all was a really very pleasant experience. Today, when I enter either a Tesco or a Sainsbury's, my experience is the feeling and the imagining that I'm entering an insane asylum. The blandness, the lack of the variety and the presentation is in my view approaching
old USSR style banality ... I know because I've been there. And my experience is no exaggeration. It's almost tragic to witness the degenerative contrast in shopping experience in the UK that has occurred in just 15 years. When I go shopping especially in
a supermarket I want both a comfortable and an enjoyable experience that includes a wide variety of choice. I don't to feel that I am locked into a quasi insane asylum. But ... both the Tesco and Sainsbury's results very clearly show that these meager offerings
are all that customers want and desire. Otherwise it would be different. And in all that we as marketers must pay very close attention.
