Anyone notice 7-11 is becoming a 黑店？

[Alamaking]

Been monitoring the price items at 7-11, they tend to raise the price every half a year.

There're 3 levels of pricing in 7-11. From lowest to highest.

HDB, shopping centres and places of interest.

7-11 is for desperate time, like you ran out of condoms; thirsty needing a quick drink; or need to top up you EZlink for $5.00 ( plus 50c), when one is desperate & short of cash. Other than the above, it is not a place to shop, that is why it is call a convinience store. Their prices are conviently high, for your convenient!.

Pay for your convinence...CHEERS! ( this one also)

[shelltox]

you pay for the convenience and the franchise fees.
lays potato chips normal supermarket is 3.50 to 3.80
sometimes 7-11 sells for 5.00

 

[NoNewsGood]

There is a price for keeping the store open 24/7.

In any case, in a free market, if the customer thinks that the price is too high, the customer can always choose not to buy.

 

[Mitsuhide Akechi]

7-11 is a 24/7 convenience store.

 

[myfoot123]

PAP is even more 黑 店!!! They charged Singaporeans beyond recognition. Can you imagine paying pigeon holes with all your life savings, and paying this government million-dollar salary and they still said we got good bargain.

 

[R4g3]

buy bread and newspaper only

[popdod]

The franchise tactic is a auto-institutionalising tactic. The more people franchise, the more valuable the brand name is and the more it can get people to get its franchise.
