Sainsburys to Cut 3,500 (in-store meat, fish and deli counters are to be closed)
 

This is also to do with the
failed Asda join up.


[Sainsbury's has warned that 3,500 jobs could go across
its supermarket counters and Argos stores.
The company said its in-store meat, fish and deli counters
were to be permanently shut due to a lack of
shopper demand while 120 more Argos branches faced
imminent closure as it accelerates a drive to
open Argos within its supermarket network.

A total of 420 standalone Argos stores
are to go over the next three-and-a-half years.]

a lack of demand? the meat and deli counters have been closed since March and only recently reopened :facepalm:

Yes they are cheating a bit
as they have not had a good chance to get customers
again.

yes some of these companies are using Covid as a reason to trim their staff, supermarkets are the one business that has done okay in these covid times especially with all the panic buying..

Yes nasty move.



I wonder if Tesco and Asda
will follow?

I'm really surprised at this tbh, I thought the target market of sainsburys stores would rail against this. I don't see it as a budget supermarket so they've essentially decided to remove the one thing that sets them apart from those.

From SkyNewsHD Business
Sainsburys intend to invest the saved money
in reducing prices across the whole store

I assume trying to match Aldi / Lidl.
