It does come across as a bit of a cynical marketing strategy to get customers in with their kids. But hey, free apple.

It’s clever since people have been convinced healthy food is expensive, so they get the benefit of helping people who “couldn’t afford fruit”, but apples are really cheap so it doesn’t cost Tesco’s anything really.

The headline feels purposely misleading as the article states it’s children shopping with their families.
Children are generally not going to be customers, they just happen to be with a customer.
I wonder if it’s true and they’d deny a child shopping on their own a free apple.

Based on the wrappers and banana peels all over the store, the kids were getting “free” fruit already.

They’ve been doing this for ages, unless im thinking of a different supermarket? Ive seen little boxes with some fruit, they likely wouldn’t sell anyway, with a sign saying free for kids or something.
