Watching autumn supermarket and they visited one of Tescos new huge 'supermarkets' which has no customers, trolleys etc. it is one of six that caters only withonline shopping. If you didn't see it it is very clever, all automated crates that move on conveyor belts and the staff just stay in one isle filling crates as they pass by. Fascinating.

I found it interesting as well...just shows how they make pies to a supermarket price.
I thought it was due to volume and not so much quality.
Liked the apple trees.
