Retail Wars

An unannounced 5p Bread raid on the reduced bakery inventory @ 1800 hours... I am going to be trooping into Morrisons at Victoria Retail Park, Netherfield. As a school of strangers sporadically appear at the location described, as if we were a cadre of soldiers in search for the lowest priced item.


Independently managed business, such as Park Stores, Derby Road. With a selection of international delicacies in addition to stocks of Free Range Eggs and organic dairy, can make a substitute enterprise within a family oriented setting. It also deters capitalist motivated markets into fairer equity, which allows smaller businesses, mistakenly stigmatised for exaggerated RRPs whilst they’re simply attempting to match the likes of Wetherspoons or Sainsbury’s (ironically owned by the same CEO)


Nichier sale items such as Halal meat are seldom marketed in corporations of the supermarket matrix. Television shows such as Supermarket Sweep, originally aired on ITV featuring presenter Dave Winton in 1993 where contestants are encouraged to hunt bargains for cash prizes could be suggested as a satirical interpretation of high street economy, parodying the consumer experience.


Butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth shop assistants, “Clover vs Flora both on promotional offer” however most retail assistants aren’t obligated to up-sell on stock which is already utilising POS indicators to inform their target audience. There is also a dogma that a specific selection of major supermarkets are operating at a higher premium, given that daily necessities are subject to variable inflation rates.


As autonomous as I am about thrifting and probing around in Charity shops, I must dispel my experiences expressing some of the cynical attitudes I’ve witnessed around this mode of commercialism. Some capitalist characters may sneer at the idea of purchasing anything that has had previous ownership, due to stigma around how we view wealth; however statistics state that £80million was generated from the store sales of material donations for Cancer Research in 2018. A grievous topic which affects people despite their income or economic background, therefore exposing the principle that people should learn to open their minds a bit based on how revenue is shared and invested. 


In further relation to private sales online, whether that be on a collections in person basis or postal orders via eBay, for example this can incur tax evasions and merchant fees for small businesses. Salesmen in public spaces such as market stalls or car-boot sales might be obligated to pay rental costs, that should not furthermore disenfranchise the youth of the business industry. There is a continuous magnitude of recycled gifts and merchandise. The online marketplace has a multiplicity of departments designed intrinsically for SEO. Use any grammar to denote emotion, and they will create a mode of vogue(!)
