Welcome retail stores
by on Sep 14, 2007 03:33 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Why should producer ( manufacturer or farmer) /consumer suffer in the hands of the middle man .These organised retailing gives wealth to farmers & save the consumer from dictate of middle man.If some politician is advocating for banning of retail chain then he should understand that thay are few producer & large no. of consumer( even producer is consumer) .Difference between middleman & consumer .The middleman gives money to the politician to fight election & consumer gives vote to win election.Who is more powerful the coming election will decide?

This is a misnomer and the spin doctors have generated these stories. The middle man is there, do you think mukesh ambani will go and buy and sell to consumers, they also need middle man and their own highly paid but inefficicent employees.

Middle man here adds value to the trade and gets a fair share, he is not a middle man of the defence deals type.

The retail chains will bring high cost stores with AC and the burden of their staff overheads will be borne by the consumers like you and me.
Pl understand the profit mentatlity and drive of a large business house is 100 times more than a locan shop owner.

ONE very good reason for Salaried person shop from this big store is that BIG STORES will pay taxes to government like Salaried persons themselves.Except the salaried person and corporates everybody is evading government taxes.
