Exactly, the same in Germany. Consumer'S behavior in the supermarket is what has caused a ruinous price competition, farmers vulnerably sitting at the receiving end of it. quality has it's lightly higher price. Many customers do not understand that. I make that experience every day i work in a storehouse:
"Why does this toaster for 20 euros have a better regulator and does not become as hot outside as this toaster that I have boiught yesterday for 5 euros?"
"That thing for 15 euros looks so much better than this one for 8 euros, how's that?"
"It costs only the half, but doesn't it look a little bit cheap by design?
Shove it.
Rule number one when working in a warehouse or a store:
"Customers are idiots. Treat them accordingly."
