People do need to look better. Although that's not always an easy thing to do if you are a parent doing the weekly shop with a couple of angry/bored kids in tow.
My bone of contention is that we have laws in place to stop that kind of con. If you or I tried that sort of thing, we'd likely be arrested if we were caught. Supermarkets are getting away with misrepresenting prices, and earning millions of pounds a day doing it, yet are seemingly free to do so.
That is wrong.
The trouble is, we don't have a government with the balls to stand up to them. We haven't for decades, and it shows in the state of the rest of the food and groceries market.
