Pricing Question

Im with Ian. For most retailers the most expensive part of their operation is the bit between the loading dock at the back of the shop and the till. You had a real person do a real task for you, not pick a bottle of a pallet/box/shelf.

As Australia slides inexorably into third world status we will soon need to import shop attendant labour on some special visa so we can afford the goods we want to buy. Until then suck it up and keep someone in a job.

So you actually had an attendant pouring for you - a lost breed they are

Not in the small townships in vic they're not. However, we're not on a gas supply line so we have to pay through the nose for domestic gas. I've just paid over $112 for a bottle.

what size bottle?

[jimbur]

The standard size that we used to call 100 pounders. Can't remember if they are 40 or 45 kilos.

ok we also pay 112 for them and 25 a year rent on bottles.

[jimbur]

It would be cheaper if I used enough gas to warrant using one of the really big bottles but for domestic use the rental would take away any saving on the gas.
cheers,

ps the first we bought was $8/bottle and I remember being really narked with it went up to $11. Back in the dreamtime!
