What about them?
But of course - if one doesn't care then it's just their nasal problem. Right? |

Write back and tell them that their super high prices on the Italian market didn't work as that shop has since closed. If only they'd kept to the same ideal and targeted the student body, then the mums would have come along and word would have passed around and Il Bodyshop said with an awful Italian accent would at least have become an everyday beauty product. Idiots. I could have done better marketing and pubblicity with my eyes shut and my tongue cut off.

The markets are different here, it does mean some (lots of )stuff costs more - you wait 'til you see the price of cucumbers in February:rofl: It's life, you just get on with it:rolleyes: |

At least the Body shop does US$ pricing equivalents and not mark it up even more just because we are in Canada, like some companies I know.

Oh I have seen those prices. Yes it is life but doesnt mean that we have to lie back and accept it without saying we dont agree
In the store I work in, the prices all went up, we were told that if the customers complain, we are to explain that due to the recession, costs have gone up, therefore prices have risen, instead of cutting quality. Companies will come up with any plausible excuse. |

What are you going to do about it then? Out of curiosity. Start protesting? Refuse to buy?

The mind boggles at how a recession causes prices to increase or how customers accept that as a plausible excuse;)
I read somewhere that the average spend per head was $100 more or so than in the USA - there is your answer there really - they have more disposable money - lets make them spend it:thumbdown: |
