Either fine or just warn corner shops to not increase prices because of COVID-19
Either fine or just warn corner shops to not increase the price of products as things found in these corner shops are not found in normal supermarkets. Therefore we have to look elsewhere such as these corner shops and it’s taking advantage of the crisis that is happening.
It’s not fair nor honest. People aren’t working and have had to buy things to avoid going out after knowing the amount of people infected is increasing. It’s better to stay at home therefore we need to buy things beforehand and corner shops aren’t helping with increasing their prices because of the COVID-19.
