Local shops shouldn't be allowed to charge excessively.
Support Local Shops..WHY?
As an OAP,with no pension at the moment because I have to wait 17 months & 2 days because of the year I was born,we live on one State Pension from my husband.
I had to go to the local shop to purchase some cigarettes.40 of the Cigarettes,the cost came to £14.50 which makes them £7.25 per packet.!
I know they are actually just over £6 per packet but wasn't quite sure how much they were.
When I went to another shop I enquired as to how much 20 Cigarettes would cost in there.
£6.19 came the response.
So I paid £1.26 over the top for the privilege of shopping locally and got stung for supporting our Local Stores.
This shouldn't be allowed to happen.
I suggest that all items have a Maximum price exhibited on whatever they purchase and if the local overcharges they should be penalised for their greed.Extortion and daylight robbery.
