    If people pay for the higher prices then it doesn’t matter. The general public would need to boycott or literally not be able to afford the prices of the good. Unfortunately, we all are very poorly disciplined in that regard, myself included.

      some of us are already here, and we’re about to get a lot of company.

        Unfortunately, that’s what it’s gonna take. I’m seeing it slightly in the automobile industry.

        Especially if shops like Tesco as much as double your prices without loyalty cards. Tesco is the worst, haven’t been there for months (as a customer).

        Tesco Clubcard, Kaufland Card, Billa Bonus club, Lidl Plus (app required), Coop Jednota Club.

        There is no alternative. Supermarket chains killed most small shops. Oh, and you may still need an app to manage it even if you have a plastic card.

        Haha I unfortunately count in the consumerist masses. Don’t use credit much anymore, but definitely addicted to Amazon Prime.
