I like that this thread is only five pages long and we've already got at least two distinct issues people are bickering about. Good job OP.

It sounds like you're talking about the city centre supermarkets. The Tesco's there would be smaller than the one you'd find in a retail park, for the obvious reason of land premium.
Though I wouldn't know for sure having never been to America. There's probably someone who could better compare the two.

Our grocery stores absolutely trend towards gigantic. Like I'm in a relatively small town and if I go to buy let's say... pretty cooked canned mushrooms (why god) I'll likely have about six brands to choose from for something that is largely brand agnostic as it comes to quality.

50 different types and brands of bacon? Sure. My Publix dedicates more area for bread than space even exists for all food types in some European markets I've seen.

Oh and Publix bakery 5 grain Italian is pure nirvana.
