Serious DFS Close Shop at Changi Airport ... Highly Paid FTs & $$$ Laundering Rich Don’t Shop Anymore???

[Leckmichamarsch]

DFS liquor prices aren't cheap anyway. Good riddance.

KNN how does dfs model works KNN is It they absorb the tax or govt exclude tax for them KNN if they absorb sure is lose money business KNN if govt exclude tax then everyone also want to earn KNN

DFS operates in tax-free zones agreed in advance with countries customs authorities. So inside Changi secure area, sinkieland calls it outside of tax jurisdiction so can buy things without paying import duties and whatever tax kastams willing to exclude. So the stuff is bought at cost with liquor or ciggie duties for example. This is significant savings to bottom line for DFS.

The catch is, sinkie gahmen still owns airport and gets income from leasing the space to DFS. So what they do? Jack up rents sky high. So instead of left pocket make through duties on sale, right pocket make from rental to DFS. The way DFS makes up for this though is to sell like mad. So DFS assistants always ready to help yo buy stuff and give recommendations. Because fixed cost is high and unit cost is low, more sales = more $$$. If sales down, then uplorry.

ok?

If DFS sells pork, apples and milk powder for babies, I'm sure it'll attract plenty of business from the tourists from China.

Sell pork for what? Plenty of pork in china.

Tourist arrivals in Singapore are at record high! How can more tourists mean less profits for DFS?

The costs overrun the profits....the top management takes a big bite of the "profits"...& run for the roses.

Of course, with the m&ds dominating the delivery market, the Chinese out of jobs. It has to be the Burmese who are entrepreneurs!

I do not know the inside story but in the red dot, rental is almost always the killer.
Whats the point of slaving day and night for the landlord to make the most leaving you with crumbs.
The problem is these landlords are mostly govt entities or GLC's with "unlimited" funding and can just chalk off any losses as " long term investments".
So bottom line sinkies have to pay-through higher cost of goods and services or funding of govt entities/GLC's via higher and higher min sum or CPF contributions.
