It also annoys me that you have to buy such large quantities to benefit from the promotions!!!! But Migros is not interested, otherwise the profit is too little for small quantities.
Hello Midors, thank you for your contribution. We understand your reasoning very well! As a wholesaler, Migros takes a wide range of customer expectations into account when selecting its offers. The promotions on large packs are usually foods that can be stored for longer or frozen well. This also makes them suitable for small households in some cases. In addition, any leftovers from a meal can often be easily processed. Nevertheless, it is very important to Migros that as many customers as possible can benefit from promotions. For this reason, entire product ranges are increasingly included in weekly promotions. During such promotions, standard products are available at an attractive price and are ideal for small households. Suggestions from our customers are very important to Migros. We forwarded your request to the responsible department. The possibility of implementing smaller promotional offers, e.g. for raclette cheese, is being examined. Kind regards, Matteo
It is obvious that larger households have an advantage when it comes to promotions. On the other hand, discounts for larger purchase quantities have been common since man has been trading at all. Larger households are naturally the more attractive customers, and Migros, for all its noble principles, is not ultimately a charitable organization. So all in all, as someone who is also disadvantaged, I can live with the practice in question. Incidentally, if I may make a general comment: the term discrimination is probably one of the most abused of all. One can rightly speak of discrimination if there is no logical connection between the disadvantage and the reason for it (e.g. rejection of an application for an apartment only because of black skin). However, there is a connection between the quantity purchased and the price per unit - see above. In economics, price discrimination is understood in a different way. A typical case of price discrimination is, for example, when a medicine is priced x times higher in Switzerland than in Germany (absorption of purchasing power, for the most part no logical connection with the price). Or so-called geo-blocking, which was banned in Switzerland from the beginning of 2022 as an indirect consequence of the Fair Price Initiative, which has since been withdrawn.
