Selling products loose – would you be able to pick your paperclips?
Thursday, June 11th, 2009The governments plan is to require supermarket to sell more products loose and look at offering refilling options.
We used to take our soda bottles back to the corner shop and until a few years back when our milk came in bottles and got delivered to our door – we put the empty ones out.
How would you feel going into an office supplies store and then say grabbing a handful of paperclips, or picking up a loose pad of post it notes or cartridges without the cardboard packaging?
There would need to be set containers that you could pay for one and then you could bring that in and fill it up and get charged a standard price – kind of like the salad section where three sizes of containers at different prices.
What other office supplies do you think would work?
