i understand that chip,
BUT if you were to be running a petrol consortium and your feul got messed up this way, how is it fair to fuck everyone over to cover your back just because your problems are going to lose you a few quid?
and why has EVERYONE decided to jump abord this "oh no, fuel is screwed, it's going to cost us more, lets put the prices up anyway even thoguh we dont need to" bandwagon?
tesco and morrisons stop selling fuel until they can get decent stuff in again
everyone else shouldn't be made to put u their prices should they
what happens to al this dodgey fuel in the mean time? it's not as if you can sell it, you can't tip it down the toilet, you can't keep it securly in the cupbaord under the stairs, soemones got to accept responsibility and, as ususal, no one does and it us motorists who get bent over a barrel and rogered sensless
yet again
Do you think businesses profits and loss should be dictated by fairness and not market forces? LOL
Tesco didnt fuck up, they just bought fuel in like normal, the fuel was faulty so they essentially will no doubt of "sent it back under warranty" and then had to buy some more, and they had to buy it quickly from a market with restricted supply, therefore the price went up, so therefore they are having to sell it for more.
No no Chip, Tesco etc has to do everyone a favour
Ah silly me, I see what you mean.
Tesco gets fucked over with some shite petrol.
Then tesco gets fucked over by the bad publicity.
As a result tesco gets fucked over by less sales making it harder to stay in the black
and the response should be "run all your petrol stations at a loss till you go out of business"
I see, i think im fetting this fairytale economics now
it's all very well ramping up the prices, but eventually the consumer is going to pay the price
just because you have a captive market doens't mean you should be screwing your customers over should you
lets go back to the scenario where it's a small business who have got some dodgey fuel in, you can't expect them to ramp up the prices and the local comunity pay the extra cost for it, they'd soon go out of business
with companies like tesco's who make billions upon billions, they could have kept prices low and been made out to be the good guys in this fiasco rather than branded with the same "you are all greedy robbing bastards" brush
yes i'm having a bit of a bitch and moan, but soething should hav ebeen done about it when it first cropped up, as ususal, tony is sitting on his arse telling us how gratefull we should be about accepting his road charging system
