Support your local merchants, not anymore thanks.

[Russell griffiths]

I really try to support my local shops and merchants, but I’m afraid I have another store. To add to the list of places I just wont bother with. 

 

I went into the paint store, I have a trade account, was after a 2.5 litre tin of white primer, I can get said tin of paint for £15.99 in b+q with my trade point card, I can get it in Selco for £15.00. 

 

So why the bloody hell hell did I just pay £24 for it in the paint store. 

 

Sod em, I shall just sit here every night and order everything on line.

sad isn't it.  I bought 17 doors from my local merchant - £3k order so I assumed I'd have a fair discount.  Saw them in there last week - same price as I paid and anyone could go in there and buy one.  The cost of loyalty is too much tbh.
