A prime example of that which WES and WOW do. There used to be a drinks factory down the road from me. (a friend worked there, that is how I found out) Anyway, one of the big two started buying the cordials the company made, and became a bigger and bigger customer. The drinks factory had to increase its production facilities, because the big retailer was taking the Lion's Share of its production. Then the Chain Store demanded a $3M "stocking fee" to stock their drinks. The upshot was the drinks company said. NO! And closed down. So everyone lost their jobs. Once they have you hooked, they will start telling you what price they will pay, and you will go broke anyhow. WOW and WES do this over and over again. It is gouging your suppliers. They are using their might and muscle to screw a small company. I can personally quote three instances.

It is a pity that the Govt., cannot provide a bureau of economic and business experts, to advise small business of the pros and cons of such deals. Also the litigiousness of such big companies, means that they will sue you if they get a chance, and keep going back to court until you run out of money. Therefore they win, whether you were right or not.

How can a small business compete?....Marum.

Well the Federal Government had a department to control this but industry persuaded them to shut them down
As I posted before those at the top have eliminated any opposition to their rule so as with politicians it is not the people or the companies at fault it is the bureaucratic system that has failed because it has allowed what was a good system to be prostituted
