Like all his other operations (including the upcoming EasyPizza), if you order it well in advance and are willing to have it at a time of day no-one else wants it, you get it cheapest. That'd work...

Or, to be more honest, I'm actually disappointed that we don't have more of a 24 hour culture - like New York - where you can get a drink, a burger, or even a restaurant meal at 4am if you like.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/11164/11331#msg-11331 Mon, 16 Feb 2004 10:38:47 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/11164/11329#msg-11329 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Ivanhoe returns)
Shopkeepers should charge you more (because your slow-moving expensive plonk ties up shelf space). Also, I bet you shop at premium times when the shop is busy.

The Tenents-drinking gentlemen should get charged less. They buy fast-moving lines in some bulk, and (at Kevin's local shop, anyway) they thoughtfully choose to shop in the quiter times when there's less pressure on staff, allowing the owners to spread their overheads.

I've been a mug - I have paid upwards of £2 for a bottle of mineral water at festivals. I didn't have to, but it was convenient and I realised the price was par for the course.

I even pay 45p for a pint of milk every day, even though I know if I bought it in a supermarket instead of a newsagent, I'd pay about 13p less.

In fact, I'd like to give shopkeepers the power to spot mugs and up the prices when they think they've got one. Might keep the prices down for the rest of us.

Same for alcoholics - whack the price up to our 'unwashed friends', the type who hold out a handful of money for the shopkeep to help themselves too 'cos they're too drunk to focus on the individual coins - and keep the price down for those of us who don't actually want to pay £6 for a bottle of plonk because the local Costcutter is the furthest we're happy to go...]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/11164/11322#msg-11322 Mon, 16 Feb 2004 09:05:50 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/11164/11321#msg-11321 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Ivanhoe returns)

I don't like the idea of a shop so explicitly profiting from the alcoholics here.
Not so fussed if they make extra from breaking the law in general.

BTW, Last week on the Northern Line I stood, walked 2 paces & and offered my seat to a heavily pregnant woman. In 10 seconds, another (fit -looking) woman took my seat. A number of passengers were embarrassed, but not the second woman.

To my mind that too is a manky way to act...but perhaps others would say it showed initiative.

Oh well...this is life in the big city, I suppose.

So you've no problem with 'cool clubbers' -buying a bottle of wine at 11pm- but if they look scruffy and possibly alcoholic, you want the poor beleagured 24-hour till worker to refuse them? How's that going to work?

Wino: Can of Shhhhuperlager please.

Shop-owner: Sorry sir, it's 11pm *points at clock*

Wino: 'Ehhhhh...bah, you've just served vodka to Mr. C from the Shamen and Clive the dancer from the Hit Man and Her? What's that all about?

Shopkeeper: Aha, but they were cool clubbers, they looked like they had stable jobs and a upwardly mobile social circle. You my unwashed friend are an alcoholic. Now, this is for your own good- now please move away from the alcopos, I have to carry on splitting packs of Embassy Number One's to sell outside Captain Biffo's Creche on Duke Street.

* irretrievable chaos ensues- wino last seen fighting with himself in back of police car *

Come on Kevin- you don't want this do you?

ps please don't take offence- I'm just messing about :) I'm in my office working at the weekend, damnit, I have to make my own fun...

I know it's not the same as giving heroin to a child, but I still think it's a pretty manky way to turn a profit.

And if 24 hr shop sells lcohol round the clock to alcoholics, they may bump up the profits by selling single fags to kids.

Profit is all.

I think I'm in favour of liberalisation of licensing laws. They were only brought in to defeat the Hun during the Great War, and were never repealed. Then we could get our booze at any hour of the day or night!
