Waitrose (when I actually have the money, which isn’t very often) and Morrisons are good too and there’s something nice about just popping to the Co-Op on a Sunday morning but they all have their specific niches. Nowhere compares to Asda when it comes to pizza and variety of roast chicken whereas Morrisons leads when it comes to fish (they do a mean mackerel). Waitrose has pretentious variety and some of the stuff there is genuinely better quality but not all, not by a long shot.
Big Tesco’s alright but all those little Tesco expresses here, there and everywhere are very average and just too normal/common for me. I have a club-card that takes me there when I want to top up or buy cheap candles and spicy-chicken pasta tubs but to me Tesco’s generally not somewhere to shop for reasons besides pure convenience. The brand just seems a little overused and naff to me.

I remember Waitrose being really good when it came to Japanese and Korean food from my very rare experiences with the Supermarket.
I also like Morrisons and Co-Op, especially Co-Op Sausage Rolls.
Yeah I agree with you about Tesco being more of an okay Supermarket.
And just to add another controversial opinion to this thread, I liked the Doron Dororon Manga, which given it's 5.97/10 score on MAL I'm gathering is not the most popular opinion to hold.
And to make myself even more controversial, I think that Doron Dororon is better than Bleach & JJK out of Shounen Jump's series, the reason I say this is that they do better on the character interactions than JJK, and it doesn't have the bizarre combination of Chad's blandness meets Orihime's irritating personality that Bleach goes for in the opening arc.
