It appears as though we are heading for the dark ages in food retailing as the retail giants jockey for our dollar, or maybe I should say, position themselves to cut competition as they reduce our options to purchase a variety of goods that we have enjoyed all our lives. Today my wife & I went shopping at our local supermarket, Woolies, & could not buy our favourite brand of lollies so we were told they will no longer stock this item as their home brand is substituting for our favourite, Pascall.
Their shelves are becoming less attractive so now we will change our buying habits to find greater variety in the local Foodland & other stores when we are near them. We are just numbers now, not valued customers that were once greeted with friendly gestures. Sad.
