Happy Face 29 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 27m extra costs mean prices need to rise Think this is a view that the high street will gladly have people buying into if they can all lift prices 6%. The very notion that those costs could possibly come from the £350m 6 month profits Next enjoyed (not including christmas) is unthinkable. Whatever costs are incurred, whoever takes a hit, it must NEVER be the shareholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brazen way that they think it's perfectly acceptable to maintain margins by charging the customer rather than have it affect shareholder returns or perhaps by reducing the no doubt lucrative bonuses shared amongst the exec team is a disgrace.

That's up to the customer decide though. If they don't like it then they won't buy their coffee. Personally I can't see it hitting sales too much.

Howmanheyman 27345 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Great North Run tomorrow. I'm bored, I just want tonight out of the way so I can get going. What's the old, you know, the old rules on, well, you know what I'm saying on, err, doing anything too, err, strenuous before a big sports event? Because that might give you something to do if, you know, it's not strictly verboten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9103 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 You know there are now pay-at-the-pump petrol stations? Are you able to type in, say, £30 and then the pump will dispense that and no more? If not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Probably because Esso & BP and that love the extra pennies every time anyone goes over, must add up to a few million. I just fill it up every time personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but I'm not Lewis Hamilton. I'd rather buy petrol once a fortnight than every two days. And the environmentalists can sort out electric cars before they have a pop.

And the environmentalists can sort out electric cars before they have a pop. I don't drive to work (except on rare occasions) so I don't use much diesel but I'd always assumed that was the case with the extra weight. I'd probably do what you do if I was going through a full tank every two weeks though. I only ever fill the tank if we're off to the Lakes for a week or something like that.

Ausman 0 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 You do realize even if you asked for more than what you need, you still only get charged for that amount you paid for. They have the same system in Finland, they had that there well over a decade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
