tescos have been accused of using unethical tactics on their suppliers, as in forcing them to supply goods at a price that actually costs the suppliers money to supply. They make demand for offers (reduced prices) that the supplier has two options
1. agree and supply at a loss
2. refuse, and be removed from the suppliers list.

In effect tesco blackmail and bully suppliers, including local farmers etc. I would like to see the OFT getting involved rather than boycotting.
