Tesco Express

This is an excellent and very convenient branch of Tesco. It is situated on Smithdown Road, about half way between the large nearby Asda and Tesco stores, which is why it’s excellent. It means if you just have a few bits to pick up you don’t have to trek miles round a superstore just for those few bits.
Even more conveniently, you don’t even have to converse with the staff due to the self service checkouts. You can get your shopping, serve yourself and be away in no time at all.
Another convenient thing, the store is open 6am-​11pm 7 days a week so when the other stores close on Sunday around tea time, this Tesco Express stays open till late evening.

Bastarding Tesco. Look at it. Sat there all smug with itself like it’s the big I Am. Who does it think it is? It’s the kind of overtly and comically monopolistic corporation you get in a sci-​fi dystopia, except it’s real.
Stories of Tesco’s ruthless campaign to eradicate every other business from the acreage of Britain can be found in local newspapers all across the nation. That comes as a given of course because to Tesco, everything is local. They’ve saturated every postcode in the country.
However, the really infuriating thing about this particular branch, and what I assume is the crux of the whole problem, is that it’s just so damn convenient. With its automatic check-​outs and selection of handy goods, it’s perfect for breezing in and out of but you’ll hate yourself afterwards. People can whine on about how stinkingly evil the business is but so long as the remaining millions are flocking through the aisles, they’re basically trying to shout down a hurricane. They should know by now the slogan ‘Every Little Helps’ doesn’t apply to those who avoid Tesco.

Only been open a couple of years and is only small in size. Open early until late. In prime location on Smithdown Road.
