if you don't already work for tesco, call up your local store (go on www.tesco.com and click on store locator in the bottom right) and ask to speak to the personnel manager. instead of doing your critique in isolation, ask if you can spend time with one of the section managers and get them to help you so you really understand the opportunities and limitations.

In all of your preparation, remember to think about how the following are impacted:
PEOPLE (STAFF)
CUSTOMER
OPERATIONS
FINANCE

Keep those four key points in mind and it should help with all of the exercises.
