FoodWorld VAT lagaata hai - or, Small is Beautiful

[sanatg]

I bought some stuff at the FoodWorld Supermarket. These guys not only charge you the full MRP (Maximum Retail Price), but also slap a flat 12.5% tax on the bill amount. Apparently, there is some confusion on this issue after VAT was implemented here in Karnataka - so they are playing it safe.

My small friendly neighborhood grocer on the other hand, gives me stuff below MRP - with some personalized attention thrown in.

I'm switching :-)
