Equal prices across all stores!
Introduce equal prices for goods in all your stores across the UK
Why is this important?
Convenience stores run by Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons, which tend to be in the centre of cities and towns as well as rural areas, have been found to charge more for the same product compared to their bigger stores.
Not everyone has access to transport or the time to head to the bigger cheaper store. So customers are being forced to shell out way more just for their basics each week.
Consumer group, Which! found that the difference in the price of goods can run to hundreds of pounds over the course of a year. They justify the higher prices by citing higher rent and operating costs, but when these companies are making billions in profit, should they really be charging customers more?
You may live near a big supermarket and be lucky enough not to have to rely on a smaller convenience store like others do. But that choice in supermarkets also means you have the power to pressure these stores to do right by all their customers.
