Power of supermarkets
I hate to interupt this cosy 2 way banter. but Janet please decide where
you stand. You said earlier " It may be very lovely for you, a comfortably off non-working housewife with a car to spend more time during the day, and more money, shopping in small businesses. Don't you realise it's a luxury to have such means and opportunity, one denied to many working parents on a very tight budget. They need to shop outside working hours. How many small bakers, butchers and grocers stay open in the evening? Even if they did, what does a single working parent do with the tired children as s/he trails them a mile or two from shop to shop ? Carrying the shopping, because small shops don't have a great big car park, and trolleys with child seats." You now say "The more I hear of this sort of thing, the less inclined I am to use supermarkets and am minded to go back to the old days of shopping at small individual shops for every need, wherever possible. It's less convenient, it takes longer and it may well be a bit more expensive" Janet So does that make you a comfortably off non-working housewife with a car to spend more time during the day, and more money, shopping in small businesses? |
