It also found that shoppers felt its meat aisle was too clinical, so chief executive Phil Clarke had the shelves tilted at an angle to improve visibility and made the aisle ‘warmer’.
He said: ‘We are starting to seen green roots of progress. Some of the changes are already being rolled out in all Tesco stores and some are on trial.’
