Tesco - my experience fro when I used to work there...
They are such a cost cutting machine they were relentlessly letting people go but kept on creating management positions. At many times during my spell there there would be more managers on the shop floor than workers, and what workers were there were called to work on the checkouts all day long because they had no staff either.
The priority for shop floor work was to make sure the shelves were tidy and looked full, which meant 3 times a day everyone on the shop floor, in between manning the checkouts, would spend up to 2 hours pulling stock from the back of the shelves forward, leaving an empty gap behind it. As you can imagine there wasnt much time to actually FILL the shelves like we were supposed to be doing.
They then had the cheek to moan at us about the levels of stock in the warehouse going off! 
Considering how large an empire Tesco is it is very badly run on a local basis I think

Would agree with what you have said there although you didnt mention one thing about these managers, they are put in place to create super workers atleast in the store i was working in
they pay like an extra pound or two per hour yet expect you to cover for like 3 people away on holiday or sick wtf!!
I was managing the produce department in colney hatch (north london) which takes in more money then any other produce department in the country and at peak times I was supposed to be filling and maintaining two isles whilst doing reductions for the entire department that means going through nearly each and every product in the entire shop floor lol

I was also on Produce Dav and I worked there for 2 years, every Monday night it was exactly that - checkouts, filling, cleaning, reductions. Not possible!
