An angry shopper drove his Rolls Royce into a Tesco superstore after a dispute over the delivery of a bed.

Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?

Any Brits out there? I was under the impression that Tesco was a low end store like K-mart or Walmart. Am I right?

Dumb-azz probably did more $$ worth of damage to his car than to the building.

A 27 year old Rolls ain’t worth as much as we think when we hear or read the name Rolls Royce. I found a local listing for an 85 which is two years newer going for 28k.

No, the low-end stores are ASDA (owned by Walmart), Lidl, Aldi, and some similar pikey stores.

The UK has four large national supermarkets - Waitrose, Sainsbury's, TESCO, and Morrison's. Even Marks&Spencer are in the food game, with lots of those in service areas on the motorways.

TESCO is the largest of the supermarkets, and can be found nearly everywhere. TESCO has ruthless business tactics, and it's tough to find prices lower than what they offer, which is nearly everything (but no Rolls Royces).

I believe TESCO has stores (under a different name) in California. They are in Ireland, Europe, and the Orient.

My husband once drove a rental into the lobby of the Holiday Inn in Bruges, Belgium after being told by a stuffy Belgian all the places where he could not park.

" Any Brits out there? I was under the impression that Tesco was a low end store like K-mart or Walmart. Am I right?"

Not a Brit, but a big fan of Tesco. I'd liken it more to a Target, only better. In my experience, they tend to be a little nicer than your average Walmart (and about the same size) and a whole lot nicer than any K-Mart I've been in. Big place, lots of variety, good prices, clean and well-lit, samples being given out all over the place. Once the sample offering included a snort of Amarula, a lovely cream liqueur made from fruit in South Africa. Now that's my kind of sample.

A couple years ago there were reports that Tesco was heading to the US, but I've not seen one yet here. I'll be a loyal shopper there, for sure, if one ever opens around here.
