Tesco ends overnight stocking, 1,600 jobs on the line!
Tescos have issued a warning that 1,600 jobs are on the line as it ends overnight restocking at some of its stores and converts some petrol sites to pay-at-pump during the night.
Tesco’s plans come just one day after the supermarket announced the closure of its Jack’s discount stores.
The company will now be restocking shelves during the day, meaning more staff on the shop floor during peak hours.
The move is set to help Tescos run “simply and efficiently” according to Tesco boss Jason Tarry.
The new daytime stocking will be seen in 36 big stores and 49 convenience stores – the company also plans to convert petrol stations in 36 stores to pay-at-pump only during overnight hours.
“We operate in a highly competitive and fast-paced market, and our customers are shopping differently, especially since the start of the pandemic,” said Mr Tarry.
“We are always looking at how we can run our business as simply and efficiently as possible, so that we can reinvest in the things that matter most to customers.”
