The smell of Tesco
My Father is a perfumer so I often believe it’s genetic that I am sensitive to bad smells and time after time it seems to be Tesco in Ware. Unfortunately due a young family I find myself there at various times throughout the week and there is often a very pungent odour as you walk into the store from the car park area. I remember some time ago they had drain problems but it can’t be good for the image of the store to have this constant bad smell.
Am I being super sensitive ?

Is it not the smell from the fish counter?

I would suggest that this may be the compactor located in the loading dock.

Noticed how untidy it was out the back where the loading bays were and there was a smell too , it's all looking grubby on a regular basis these days . Also noticed a strange odour entering the store from the back entrance .
The staff smoking break area also honks as you walk pass outside .

There is a problem with the drains at the front fo Tescos. This also unfortunatly effects The Punch House. I went there with friends for a drink the other week and was advised by staff not to sit in a certain area at the front due to the smell which was coming from outside. At first this was not noticable but by the end of the evening it was unplesant. I'm not blaming the Punch House for this, they had at least given us a warning us before hand and were obvouisly keen to get the problem sorted.

And three, quarter million pound houses created out of Dino's bang in front of it. Resale values should be interesting ....

We call it the 'pooh bush' ! The bit between the car park and the zebra crossing ? By the bench ? There's a plant/bush that has a bad smell to it, especially when weather I wet/damp. No idea what the plant is but there's one nr my office and one nr y brothers house and they all smell the same !!

When Tescos bought the extra bit of land and paved the area I assumed it would wall in the revised courtyard and hide its extraordinary collection of product racks. Not so - so many there I am surprised that a scrap metal 'dealer' hasn't cleared the lot every night.
It's unsightly, slovenly and very un-neighbourly that Tesco operates like this. They need a /back yard' but should hide it.
Even if that does limit the ability of their lorries to reverse in to deliver.

The ironic thing about the loading area is that people can't see the signs stating 'No flammable materials must be stored in this area' because the piles of flammable materials are completely hiding them.
