Used to work in Tesco in Stock Control and Cash Office whilst I was at Uni.
Managers get Daily/Weekly reports on price updates e.g. what needs to be changed or put on offer etc, this would be a regional or national price change or offer.
If items have been left on the system for a certain amount of time with little to no sales (e.g. something that has been left out back or is just a terrible seller) it gets automatically reduced until it hits 1p; These reductions will be automatic and you'll only really see them either by the shelf edge label or when you scan the item and it's a different price (Usually much lower). These are national offers but will have very limited stock, they're nationally reduced because of the lack of stock and age of the product.
Yellow labels are at the managers discretion; usually goes 25% off, 50% off then 75-80% off.
The yellow labels are store specific because they're usually old end of life products that many stores will no longer have; they're not in stock in a lot of stores and the stock is very low, which is why they get reduced.

If the price is displayed on a shelf edge label it's a national deal. If it's just stuck on with a reduction label it's store specific.
Most of what you wrote is nonsense.
No offense.

OK people - has anyone realised yet that Tesco deals are invariably local Manager's Specials and are not Nationwide "deals". I had a chat with one of the Tesco sales people today and asked the question as to whether Tesco actually "do" nationwide deals and his answer was a simple "NO".
He said that Tesco Manager's are instructed to clear certain items at their discretion and deals are store specific because of this. It explains why every Tesco deal entered on HOTUK deals are never available at any other store.
I have mentioned this because he also said that this is known as a deliberate ruse to get people into Tesco stores looking for the deals, that do not exist except in specific stores. It is deemed a good marketing tool to get people into the stores and to then buy other goods. The new Upper Management crew has been actively trying to get Tesco's to make money and to get them into profit and this way of getting peoples interest is just one way of getting extra sales.
Be aware of clever marketing - Tesco's have this down to a fine art as they strive to get profitable.

It sounded plausible to me. Care to qualify your sweeping statement with something to back it up? :stuck_out_tongue:

What, like a recording of the conversation or perhaps a written statement of accuracy from the sales person !!! Get real. I only reported what I had been told - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition !
No offense taken "teh arn" but if you don't mean to offend then don't call total strangers liars. Not good for making friends and influencing people. What I said is, in your opinion, nonsense from a Tesco employees mouth and not mine, do I believe him or you? When someone proves it to be different then I will believe them, until then it works for me as I have experienced the so-called "national deals", or at least the absence of them.
Labels are not proof of what is National, or not, it's where the stock is that makes it either one or the other. If the stock is local, the deal is local.
Maybe I should get a recording of a conversation or a written..............................mmmmmm, really!

I used to work there, yellow labels are store specific, that's a fact.
You might be reciting what you heard word for word but that doesn't make it any less false.
