::TESCOism::

The renowned hypermarkets- Giant, Carrefour, Billion & Bintang, the high-ends' supermarkets- Jaya Jusco, Cold Storage (not to mention names like Fajar, Ocean, etc which have gone down the scale), small-medium size groceries shops, those fishmongers, butchers and everyone who used to dominate the wet and dry market have been badly perturbed by the existence of TESCO.

TESCO, a name aboriginated from the America- has successfully penetrated the local market and it is consolidating its name by allocating outlets in the most populous towns all over Malaysia. TESCO has been more than just a hypermarket for the majority Malaysians. It's a phenomena that has struck the constituents and the phenomena I am referring here isn't a mere phantom, it's a pervasive one, indeed.

By now, I guess, TESCO's outlets are found available in so many conurbation in this country. In Kajang town itself, this hypermarket has been enjoying loyalty of the consituents from the immediate areas (my Ibu goes out for groceries shopping at TESCO in each two to three days in a week without fail. Can you imagine?). And I'm yet to mention about the identical huge response they received from constituents in other places.

So I guess, it's not too much if I were to say that TESCO is in it's colossal achievement. Don't you think so, dear?

Given a mother who has all reason in this world to stay loyal with TESCO, I always hate to do that two-to-three-days-a week-routine during weekends and in the end of the months. That's when TESCO became the amusement park! Kids are running all over the place and I had to queue for almost 40 minutes to get my vegetables tagged. Dem..~ I didn't have the option though, but to stand in patience.

Amidst the continuous denunciation of the people worldwide towards America's brutality in the middle east countries, coincidentally, we are are in joined hands to support their market like there's no other (but me myself have to admit that TESCO' prices are undoubtedly unbeatable by any other hypermarkets!).

TESCO has got so many things to offer its heterogeneous customers and other hypermarkets are dying to compete with it. It gives free membership for all, provides free vouchers for its customers over the purchases they made and recently, they announced their strong support towards protecting the environment by using less plastic bags. They encourage the customers to bring their used plastic bags from home and provide points for the bags they use to put in the stuffs (the implied idea is, TESCO is not merely protecting the earth, but they are saving their cost at one shot).

Kelantanese have witnessed the very peculiar experience with TESCO when the hypermarket has put its name in Jawi fonts- it's amazing when we come to think of how they really put their big effort to better penetrate the bigger market. By having its name in Jawi, they aren't merely creating a new history, but they also pacified the hatred of Muslims and Malays towards the conotation of American's brands and products. Good job, well done..~

I'm not writing this piece neither to praise TESCO (I'm not getting anything in return by doing so, anyway) nor to offend its existence (I don't have the power to beat this Marxist way though).

But, I always have the thought to be one of the biggest shareholders of TESCO. Ngehaha. Memang impossible. But, t's not harmful to save a dream!!
