Most people don't have a choice. Where I live there's a food basics next door, and the next closest is a metro that's like a 20 minute bus ride away+waiting for the bus.
Yeah. My one local store is independant, and as a result it's super expensive and mostly sells produce already going bad. Y'know, because whichever wholesaler punishes them for not being in the club.
What we actually need is for those new competition laws parliament passed this year to be applied.
I bet your shitty grocer would do that regardless. Sounds like he's ripping people off
I can't rule it out. As far as I know he has no control over what lettuce comes off the trucks, though, and I don't see a motive for making it worse.
If you're doing grocery shopping once a every two weeks then it's not too bad.
I got 4 people at home, including one teenager. If I bought food only every other week, I would need like 3 carts and 3 arms to pull them and load em on the bus with lol
This argument comes up a lot. MOST people are suburbanites who drive to a grocery store and in a major urban area. They can probably switch to something else with a slightly further drive. Rural folks and urban folks without a car are definitely going to experience a greater challenge on this.
