10k rip off

Tesco are making suppliers pay £10k a year for shelf space. For suppliers who are forced to produce almost at the cost production this just adds insult to injury. Tesco will not even guarantee shelf space for this non-refundable, non-negotiable fee. The supplier has to pay £10k to just be considered by Tesco.

“We’ve been asked for marketing costs before, but this is the first instance I know of where we’ve been asked to pay to have access to a retailer,” one publisher said.
