Meanwhile the govt does all mind of foolishness while distracting yoall with this so called Robin hood crusade. Since when does a business need to display the law? Can we ask inland revenue to display their laws too? I always have so many questions and no where to find answers. Like apparently in the past a restaurant license allowed sales of beer and wine. Then at some point point unbeknownst to everyone this was changed and people getting $100k fines but the govt not DIR ever bothered to inform the taxpayers. Some ivory tower gestapo crap going on in this country big time.

need to go to Meat Mart on carmichael rd. I hope thats 500 - 2500 per product else that is dumb.

So, we crack down on businesses setting their own prices, such as in a free market.
Yet, the PM and his cronies can fly around the world stuffing their faces with good food while here at home, The People punish.
A country of 340,000 people and our politicians are flying around the world like big, big boys.
Stay home and fix the many problems here. Please quit wasting our money on your self indulgent foreign trips.
Your poor governing habits are showing themselves throughout the country.
Stay home. Our country is the size of a small city. We can't afford to pander to your need to be off foreign while your small country of The Bahamas has so so many needs.
Are you leaders, or politicians. If you don't know the difference I am not surprised.

As a political act to persuade the ignorant that the elected officials are doing a sterling job keeping prices down, then Price control is very effective. In creating several dozen jobs for unskilled government workers to remain the payroll with an unfunded pension, then price control works well. As an economic tool to keep grocery prices low it is an absolute failure. When the pre-UBP government introduced Price control in the 1950's it was applied to only a select few basic items; white flour, white rice, white sugar, and some other items. As the profit margin on these items was restricted at the wholesale and retail level so the wholesalers and retailers had no other choice but to raise the margin on their other non=price controlled items. The result? No overall lowering of the grocery cost unless you purchased only the very basic food items. Most all of which are now considered to be bad nutritionally leading to obesity. Sigh....

The businesses that are always seem to be affected are those smaller ones, the "Convenience Stores" than the top few biggest grocery stores operators and the inevitable mistakes are more likely to continue because of the smaller stores or "Convenience" stores having fewer staff or underfunded operations while trying to cater to the catchment area customers and trying to offer the widest selection of merchandise.

Continuous amounts of fines will more importantly negatively impact the smaller operators stifling operations and convenience to buyers and directing the customers to the larger stores.

Fully agreed that the existing law must be followed.

Perhaps in order to have the convenience to shoppers and continued operations of these grocery stores businesses in their neighbourhoods, ----- the breaking of the law of the small merchants should be with a initial comprehensive ----- TEACHING PROGRAM by Govt experts of better methods or better signage or pricing store programs, or even sliding scale penalties instead of repeatedly hitting small convenience stores with the same fines as the large huge grocery stores and negative publicity of overcharging which is difficult for small business operators to overcome.

The aim should be the bigger picture to be helping the smaller Convenience stores affecting thousands INSTEAD of driving small businesses with continuous repeated fines creating negative publicity and out of operations and directly intentionally sending customers towards the huge grocery stores which have the resources to avoid fines for infractions.
