Let’s give a round of applause for the Tesco Express team. They chose to work on a bank holiday. They deserve a medal made of Creme Eggs.
They will be scanning your items with a thousand-yard stare. They have seen everything today. Don’t ask them for a lottery ticket. They might cry.
Be polite. Be quick. Thank them. They are the guardians of your Easter afternoon sanity. A simple smile costs nothing.
The Golden Rule
Here is your only takeaway: plan ahead. Or rather, plan to be flexible. The universe wants you to be humble on Easter Sunday.
If you absolutely must buy specific items, buy them on Saturday. Holy Saturday is your real saviour. The shelves are still stocked. The world makes sense.

But if you forget? Embrace the chaos. See the hunt for an open Tesco Express as an adventure. A silly, low-stakes adventure with a payoff of tinned soup and a £3.50 bottle of wine.
