If we add up how much we spend at our usual shops, many thousands a year, it's shameful how we are treated, absolutely shameful.

And the reason they do it is so that we forget the customer shop relationship, that we have a valid expectation to be treated with respect and politeness and that we have rights.

Maybe we should start shoppers associations. The problem is in a duopoly what kind of power can we exercise?

And the racism? I suggest take videos and post about the racism.
