It gets fixed for a little while, usually the winter, and then starts all over again.

Some of the rise in prices is due to customer inefficiencies causing the retail sector to be overrun.

So while many of us are pro sales or product acquisition, we've had to wear several hats and even handle retail customers that behave as if they are the only person in the store.

This means that things like stocking shelves or price changes don't always get done in the most timely manner.

Since we can't hire more people without raising pay scales a lot higher... which would mean a lot higher pricing... it is a matter of customers learning to be more efficient... until that happens we are going to be behind for some time.

And yes, it has been like this for years...
I was talking about Shaw's pricing woes.
