sorry to dissagree with you rodstar but i think that greed is a huge part of why alot of shops charge more. I don't understand this at all mind you, as i think its common knowledge that if a shop charges even slightly less, word of mouth will soon get them more customers. Our locally supermarket of course sells fresh fruit and veg as well as meat, we also though, in the same strip of shops, have a seperate butcher and two shops up, a grocer. Even though it is easier for us to get everything in one transaction at the larger supermarket, there is no way we will because theyre prices are marginally higher for both the meat and the fruit and veg. So we of course go to the lower priced butcher and grocer. Not only are they cheaper, they are much friendlier, and often put in an extra sausage, or give our little one a banana to chomp on while we shop.... Why would i ever go to the supermarket when i get such good service and great prices from the smaller businesses. Everyone we've told about this now shops seperatly as we do and are much happier also.
People should realise, charge slightly less and treat customers and staff well, and not only do you get more customers, but you get better working staff also. bigger places only charge more because they can, and because they don't care. It infuriates me because most workforces seem to think this way too, rather than treating their staff wll and having better productivity they treat them like crap and the workers start to loose their work ethic..... It's all getting too much like America for my liking.
OK i've had my rant now lol
