April 18, 2025 at 2:18 pmWhenever I’m overcharged like this, I simply return the bottle and walk away. I’ve heard that shopkeepers have little to no margin on cold drinks but that’s not my problem to solve.-

April 18, 2025 at 3:59 pm>want shopkeepers to chill their fucking cold drinks free of charge.Given you are ignorant, let me explain to you the concept of costing. The MRP of the cold drink is arrived at after accounting for all costs including REFRIGERATION!

April 18, 2025 at 4:03 pmNo it does not. MRP is for the product landed at the shopkeeper’s door. Shopkeepers have all the right to charge for the service they are providing to refrigerate that drink. That charge can be zero. Or 100. Never see assholes complaining at restaurants selling water bottles for 100 bucks. These are the same assholes who would pay service charges to nirmala tai for even using public toilets. But god forbid whop keeper asks for a charge, all hell breaks lose-

April 18, 2025 at 4:08 pmThen what should we do? Shopkeeperβs also pay rent on the shop, employ their employees, have lights on, do we pay for everything OVER MRP? No. IT IS THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS. If they are bad businessmen they can close their shop.ΒLAW SAYS YOU CANNOT CHARGE MORE THAN MRP FOR A PRODUCT.Β

April 18, 2025 at 4:29 pmAre you an idiot? Shopkeepers earn some commission on every product. A company sends shopkeeper products knowing that they will be complying with the laws. If the shopkeeper canβt make better business decisions, he should renegotiate the margins with the company. If he canβt he can choose to not have a refrigerator. EVERY PLATFORM THAT SELLS ANYTHING, has to comply with MRP. No shopkeeper is ABOVE LAW.Β-

April 18, 2025 at 3:03 pmOne shopkeeper tried this with me 10 years back. I replied, does company give you free fridge so you can charge extra for cold drinks. Then I said I am not going to buy any product from you from now on and walked away.Shopkeeper called me a couple of times while I was walking away. Didn’t look back. Never bought anything from his shop.

April 18, 2025 at 3:21 pmYeah. Screw the small shop owner. Why not just buy the unchilled bottle. That’s what is supposed to be sold at MRP. There is a cost to operate commercial refrigerators. Bigger shops can probably absorb in their margins. Smaller ones don’t. -

Itis against rules. You can’t charge more than MRP.
they won’t listen to you usually, they will tell don’t buy then because everyone’s charging the same.They won’t give you bill, if they do then they are screwed. But if everyone stops buying them they will fix it.

April 19, 2025 at 7:20 pmThis is not a new thing. I have always paid as per MRP whenever they ask for a cooling charge.
Dont ask the cost just see the mrp scan the qr code n pay and dont turn around.Next time ask them to sell it without being cold let’s see if people buy it. Also they say they have to buy a fridge for it, tell me then both cocacola and Pepsi provide you with the fridge at no cost.
It’s part of the electricity bill, he basically wants people to fund the electricity bill. Whats next? Fund his children’s school fee.

April 20, 2025 at 7:35 amLong ago like 20 years ago they used to do such things at my town. 2 rupees extra for chilled items. After that I think there were several complains by the people and also wide coverage of it in the newspaper and such charges stopped. Also then Big bazaar came up so I guess they didn’t have a choice. -
