Which shop does that other than Tesco?
I’ve not been in a Waitrose or a Sainsburys in a few years but I’ve not seen that problem in Morrisons, Co-op, Lidl, or Aldi.
Serious question, because Tesco take the piss.

FFS the problem is the price disparity between standard prices and “loyalty card” prices. It’s anti-competitive.
How is that not obvious to politicians?

Huh, today I learned. I only tend to pop in for specific items but I’m still surprised I didn’t notice.

Sainsburys does it now, as do Morrisons I think. They don’t do it for all their offers but some offers require a loyalty card.

You can have loyalty cards from as many shops as you want, so it’s not inherently anti-competitive. They’re not even particularly meant to encourage loyalty, they’re a way to track what individuals buy over multiple trips and then deliver targeted advertising. The non-loyalty-card prices are high to ensure that customers are incentivised to sign away their data.

Well, they used to encourage loyalty because it was feasible to collects points and convert them into tangible things (e.g. My parents used to get trips to theme parks etc). Points are almost worthless now so there’s no incentive to stick with one shop. I end up going to 3 or 4 different shops to get what I need due to price.
