During the outbreak of cabbage selling in 80 yuan, a supermarket in Shanghai, several communities in Shanghai adopted closed management. In this case, residents in many communities were isolated for about ten days. Even though our people have been in the habit of hoarding food, they have eaten up all the food stored at home in almost ten days.
Many Shanghai residents buy food by luck every day, either through group buying on online platforms or by buying fresh vegetables at high prices. Many "black-hearted" businesses saw business opportunities during the epidemic, taking advantage of the fact that it was difficult for residents to buy fresh vegetables and taking the opportunity to drive up prices. The price of fresh vegetables has risen to an incredible level.
On March 26, 2022, a shopping mall in Shanghai was exposed by netizens to high-priced vegetables. The price of a Chinese cabbage is 77.9 yuan, and the price of a handful of celery is 43.5 yuan. What is shocking is that vegetables that can usually be bought for a few dollars have increased tenfold in this shopping mall.
After the supermarket was fined 50,000 yuan, the media found that supermarkets not only bid up prices, but also bought ordinary vegetables in many places. After sorting and packaging, ordinary vegetables are packaged into organic vegetables. Use the positioning of high-end products to defraud consumers and sell them in large quantities. The original price marked on the outer packaging of this supermarket was invented by the supermarket to attract consumers. The supermarket was finally fined 50,000 yuan for alleged price fraud.
Many netizens are very pleased with the punishment of the supermarket by the relevant departments. During the epidemic, enterprises that take advantage of poor information and the difficulties of ordinary people should be severely punished. It is really puzzling that fresh fruits and vegetables and other necessities of life have grown to 77 yuan without restraint. In the long run, ordinary people can't even guarantee the most basic life, and it is easy to have serious social problems.
The price of vegetables itself follows the market. It is unfair to determine the price of vegetables according to the purchase price and transportation, and maliciously drive up the price. Supermarkets are also suspected of colluding with suppliers and posing as high-end organic vegetables, which is bound to be severely punished.
During the epidemic, our life itself was already very difficult. In this difficult situation, everyone should help each other and tide over the difficulties together. And these unscrupulous merchants took advantage of everyone's difficulties and fattened their wallets. How can they not be hated? It is best to punish these unscrupulous businesses to bankruptcy as a sign of punishment.
Here, we want to remind the majority of businesses that doing business itself is based on integrity. Once integrity is lost, it will be spurned in any industry. I hope that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible and let the broad masses of people return to normal life.
