Guest Moomintroll Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Barely use it anyway but that'll be the plan from now on aye... He claimed his "supplier" charged him £2.20 per bottle this morning but I'm sceptical of that (it'll surely be some central contract through Nisas or Wisemans or whoever for an operation like Costcutters?). Since the supermarket expanded a few years ago the other convenience store went out of business so short of the garages / newsagents he's the only other stockist of milk, bread and so on. Frustrated to discover another family member who was in shelled-out £5 for 2 bottles "just in case" . FFS. On my last visit some weeks ago he hadn't any AA batteries [emoji38]. Absolute bullshit, Co op supply Costcutter since P&H went tits up. Even if they dont directly supply it will be done via direct supplier drop shipment with a centrally agreed price, profiteering pure and simple and deserves to be driven out of business for his sheer greed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supply and demand as ever. Raising the price acts as a disincentive to hysterical hoarding and denying sane people their milk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hysterical ones will pay whatever they are quoted as they are, well, hysterical. The people who suffer are the sane ones who just want what they always get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Profiteering IS business ffs. There is making an acceptable profit, then there is shitting on the people who you rely on to keep your business solvent ongoing. He will prob rake in an extra 500 quid of margin over a couple of days but will generate huge amounts of ill will among everyone in the town, not clever long term planning. Would despair if any of my customers pulled this trick and would try my best to talk them out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"ill will"? lol, they'll forget all about it and will be shopping there again as normal in no time. I remember all the snots and tears geared towards the likes of Tesco and Asda back in 2014, didn't take people long to fall back into line again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Some road haulage walloper complaining on Reporting Scotland that if only the authorities had thought to put some salt on the M80, his Very Big Deal supplies might have got through unscathed. A few major problems with that claim: 1. Driving an HGV in the middle of a forecasted whiteout blizzard is an accident waiting to happen to everything around it, whether the road surface is clear or not. They shouldn't have been on the road as soon as the highest category warning was issued. 2. You can't just put salt down once during a constant snowstorm because it will eventually melt enough snow to wash itself away. Which means that the gritters need regular access to the road to put down fresh salt, which they didn't have because some w****r HGV drivers managed to block the entire carriageway with fail when they shouldn't have been on the road in the first place. The problem was therefore caused chiefly by the HGV wallopers and the best solution would have been for the police to collect and revoke the driving licenses of those who were blocking a key route for emergency services as a result of their stupidity. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is will only take a few people stopping going there to remove any short term gain he has made and there will always be some people who will bear a grudge. Local retailers need their communities onside in a way the big chains never will, he might get away with it but I seriously doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
